Why upgrade unless you want the advantages of a DSLR? If you have an old poor quality P&S and you want to stick with the functionality of a P&S, then sure EVIL makes as much sense or maybe a little more than going out and buying another P&S.
so it may actually be less cost effective in the long run.
I can give one piece of advice to newbies who want to upgrade so that they can take better photographs, it's to forget about megapixels and high tech, choose a camera that is the most responsive you can afford, and be able to see what you are shooting as clearly as possible, presently provided by a good viewfinder. If you feel the need to upgrade from P&S, either wait till EVIL can really do this, or get a DSLR.
this really is a moot point right
even now the dslrs is beating evil fair and square,we moot about it,
im not sure how any photography forum will cater the case of DSLR vs EVIL if later evil is at par with dslrs. (as if!)
about cost effectivity, you do have a point, however let one's economy be.
one of the reason i bought my camera is because of a budget cap.
if evil CAN'T be a "bridge" for newbie to upgrade, then let it be their first rig.
i respect every point that u have given.
however about the megapixels and hi tech,
im sure nowadays if anyone wants a camera they would use the internet or ask an experience friend or what not to survey for a camera,
im one of them.
before i bought mine, i search months endlessly, surveyed every camera i could think of, read forums and reviews, waste my time searching all corners of the internet for the info, comparing it camera by camera and study the code of "digital camera for dummies",
then only i decided to buy it.
i did not watch a SONY ad and tomorrow i go out and buy it.
kinda think of it, i never saw one. seriously. no joke.
megapixels? who picks out camera with megapixels?
this year,i took pictures with a olympus camera that have 7 megapixel, i dont complaint.
i dont put my mind set to "ooohhh,big megapixel...i want"
however im sure there are newbies of that type,
cos without them, sony olympus panasonic will have to change their name and sell just photocopy machines.
thanx
let me add some more here
last week i went to an international motorshow with a nex5
there was a guy with a dslr. i remember the look on his face when he saw me with my camera.
he looks down on me as if i committed a crime or sumthing for owning an EVIL camera.
look guys, this is worst than rascism.
dont ever judge a person as if he or she cannot own a "PERFECT" camera.
