Caveman thinks that we should revise the "Rangefinder bad SLR good" 
school of thought. With some rare exceptions, it was valid in the 35 mm 
film days, when we were invaded by hords of dubious quality P&S cameras. 
Things have changed, give me some less noise at high ISO speed and less 
shutter lag in something like canon's G6 and I'll see no point in having 
a slapping mirror inside a camera.
