Why DSLR?

It may not be "worth" it. But who cares? Don't tell me everything you have is useful, you certainly sometimes purchase something just because you enjoy it, right?

Same here. I may not make money out of my photography. I may not even be good. But I try to get photos that please me, and have fun at it. The experimentation and learning that go along with a DSLR-style camera until I get what I want is part of the process, if not even worth more to me than the actual result. Shooting an A77 is a lot of fun, AND it gives great results too - exactly what I'm after.
