DP2M In Perspective

I would question the idea that a (D)SLR is an everyday camera. DSLRs are huge, heavy, conspicuous things. Many people really don't want to carry them around "every day." They are far more versatile, but if you want to exploit their versatility, you need to lug around interchangeable lenses, or at least a zoom. For people who do not shoot indoors in dim light, do not shoot fast action, do not do tele or macro work, a DP could indeed be an everyday camera.

We've heard the cliche that "cameras don't make good pictures, photographers do." How about this truism: "a camera can't take any pictures unless a photographer is willing to carry it with him."
