I never realised all my music records( still call them that) would be consigned to the attic because I can't play them  so it's pretty well certain that the DSLR will be history too in years to come and mine may well be in the attic too one day. I would hope so too because although I am prepared to lug my 500mm lens around now, had it been one of those box cameras on a stand with a towel over my head I might not have been so keen.The question isn't if but when will the DSLR be out of date. Personally, the sooner the better but in the meantime I intend to enjoy what's available now as I might be well past my sell by date when the changes eventually happen.</blockquote>
