The purpose is to bring (entry level) DSLR image quality to a compact camera. They fill the gap between compact cameras and DSLRs. It's a compact on steroids or a DSLR on a diet. Upgraders who are familiar with compact cameras will experience better images, an increase in size/weight and a shallower depth of field (and more out-of-focus snapshots as a result). Those who are familiar with DSLRs experience a loss in continuous AF, lens choice and camera size/weight. Well, at least that is how I look at them.

Well said but don't forget that the optical viewfinder of the DSLR is generally better - no lag, no smearing, and 'real time'.

Indeed I also should have stressed that. Once you've experienced a decent viewfinder, EVF's are a step back. Thanks for adding that.
