Mirrorless Still Camera, or something alike? Whatever it means, Steven meant
that.

I'm sorry, Steven, but I can't find a reference to what "MSC" stands
for. Can you elucidate? Thanks!

You'd think the different camera approach would work, but companies
are afraid of creating a camera that sacrifices high iso performance
for some other feature and then have the reviews clobber them for not
having high iso performance.
I would really like high iso performance because sometimes I am trying
to take shots at night. However, I find that I am far more likely to
actually take the smaller MSC than the DSLR, so I deal with those
limitations. It's not a problem, except that I can get a bit of a
knee jerk reaction because I run into enough folks who just can't
understand how I can have a camera that can't take good shots above
iso 1600. Not every photo group is as sensible as the PDML ;-)

There are plenty of cameras where pixel count prevail against dynamic
range
and high-ISO performance. 99% of compact cameras and most DLSRs are set
that
way. However, manufacturers have to cover both needs, perhaps with
dedicated
models. That's very good news for them, because this way they sell more
cameras.
OTOH, it makes sense for many enthusiasts to have
a DSLR and a MSC for the appropriate occasions.
For that reason, I also bought a Panasonic GF-1.
What is miss most
when using my mu43 cameras is the wider dynamic range of the current
models of DSLR. Still, you only have to go a few years back when
DSLRs (at least the ones I coudl afford) had the same DR performance
as the current class of MSC.
Agree.
