I still remember about 15 years ago, people using big size cell phone, as time goes by, the cell phone design to become smaller and smaller, but few years back, cell phone again design to become bigger size again due to require bigger LCD display screen.
Trend always change time by time; long time ago when Digital Camera introduce to the world, the size are consider big, with using Compact Flash (CF) card and Smart Media card (SM); as time goes by, the size design to become smaller, and using Secure Digital Card (SD). Again, within this few years, Digital Single Lens Reflect (DSLR) camera has became cheaper and cheaper, and most of the people afford to own it.
as people said
Throw a stone to a group of people, sure will hit 1 Degree holder
as iCalvyn said
Throw a stone to a group of people, sure will hit 1 DSLR holder
2 week ago, there are a flora fest at Penang Botanical Garden and ton of people holding DSLR camera shooting over there, and my friend told me that seem like not flora fest, should be DSLR holder fest.
Yesterday I visit a shopping mall, and the mall having transformer models road show over there, a lot of people holder SLR Digital Cameras and keep on shooting the models. I hang around the shopping mall about half days, no matter where I went, I saw people holding DLSR camera.
In my opinion, people no longer going to buy compact digital camera, mostly will goes for SLR Digital Cameras because the price is almost same with normal compact digital camera and the advantage is more function and changeable lens.
If you planning to buy a DLSR cameras, probably you can consider nikon d90, is the enhancement model from my nikon D80. if you have extra budget, optional, probably you can get a flat panel tvs to view the photo you taken. It will bring you much more satisfaction for the photo you shoot.

i advice you, not throw anything at me..
coz im not degree holder (not yet) and im not dslr holder (not yet) too
but, how bout ur opinion bout, the quality if the product when there are too much of dslr in market?
for the example, the old 5-4 years thumbdrive can be use until now (mine) but the latest thumbdrive so easily to have a problem.
your opinion in the dslr terms/scope?

I still prefer Compact Camera as DSLR is still bulky for me. But can’t deny they create better photo!

True, the DSLR camera becoming more cheaper and cheaper. But I was still waiting for further price drop
Now everyone can shoot…

I also waiting for the price to be further dropped and I would even happier if the size is much more smaller. Most of the people used to have the idea that DSLR needs to be in bulky/giant shape but it is technological driven as the name implies SLR still pending on the light to penetrate into single lense mirror.
I do hope 1 day that it will become more smaller just like compact camera sizes…
And then KH will say: Who said DSLR must be in mammoth size? ”
