However when I was at Gillette's Castle a couple of days ago I saw a couple of other DSLRs one looked like a D300, the other was too far away to identify, but looked to be about the same size as a 70/80D or D90. There weren't that many people there, but everyone else who probably would have been using a P&S or Bridge a few years ago were taking pictures with their phones. Also given that most bridge cameras are designed to mimic DSLRs, thats probably why you don't see a lot of DSLRs these days, you may not have been seeing a lot of DSLRs before. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've seen a few Bridge cameras - heck - I was given one as a present a while back, and it does have certain uses. I even have a mobile phone with a *fairly* decent camera, which gets occasional use, but I rarely leave the house without a DSLR. I'm in the minority now. I appreciate there are many options now, but for now and especially with a K1, a DSLR suits me fine for everyday use.
