ohh no...not your thread again its a poison ivy, almost made me giving up the idea of changing to DSLR ...but so far it has been a very to the point thread and i am sure the TS will benefit from it.
From my perspective, DSLRs are bulky and requires maintenance, not to mention dry box and fungus along with dust and scratches. Prosumers give pretty good picture and are much less of a burden when travelling..
from my personal exp, in my langkawi trip, a few of my "happening" shots were taken when we were on boat for island hopping and water spraying everywhere - i would not have dared taken out my DSLR if i would have carried one - my Sony, took shots single handed!! - See what i mean!!
Just to double check, is it steve or steven that you bought your stuff from. The guy who usually served me is Steve Lim - An uncle about 50 years old and above?? :dunno:
