Opinion: many people don't know what to buy

In daily life. I sell camera's. Many consumers are confused because of the overflow of chooses they have to make. Most of the advise is only about specs. But that's not the whole story.

I own a dSLR but also a ILC. Sometimes I can hardly choose which one I should pick up on a trip.

How do you choose which type of camera you or somebody else wants? (not make or something).
