The Luminous Landscape has a good essay on the current battle between DSLRs and Digicams. Having recently moved from a prosumer Digicam to a DSLR I can agree with much of what is being said here, and like the author I now have multiple working cameras. The D70 for serious photography and the iXus 400 for walk about, concerts etc.
No sooner does is one battle over than another begins. Just a few years ago it was between film and silicon. Now the latest punch-up is between DSLRs and digicams. What you say? Digicams? Get a life!
No, actually, this competition is quite real. One couldn’t have said so as little as 12 months ago, but the game has changed (as it does rather quickly these days), and so a fresh look at these two distinct camera categories is in order — with a summer 2004 perspective.
