I read your article John
I'm always one for new stuff, but I'm with Charlie on thinking these cameras fill a gap I wouldn't have to often. A big lens kinda takes away the selling point of it being smaller. I like my s95 b/c it's truly pocketable, but one of these wouldn't be. I am excited to think of how these new features will hopefully find themselves in the next generation of dslrs though. I'll just have to restrain myself from buying one then.
