I will repeat just what Brenda says...we did exactly the same things at same times without really knowledge of it.
Smae cams...same times...same reasons and hmmmmmmmm Dont forget that shutter sound...ahhhh plus the lenses you can equip it with. Forget the LCD for a viewfinder... You have much more control of steadiness propping your cam on your palm with elbows in your body than holding a point and shoot out in the air.Battery life...Only thing an LCD is good for is seeing your curves after the shot and reviewing images.
I guarantee....3 clicks with a DSLR andreas and you will scoff at any , and I mean any other digital. I am going to sell my 8700 now for a bit back on a new body. (camera)
