Sort of like taking a P&S feature and putting it on a DSLR, you have to give it a new fancy name lets say "Live View" 8)

I rather enjoyed that infomercial :)

Dunno why it reminds me of really dusty 1970's drapes.

"Remember when you could just drop off your film and your photos would be printed for you?"

I guess nobody ever told them you can just take your memory card down to any photo store to get prints made. And reuse the card many times instead of buying more film. Or you can easily email them. Or you can put them on your iPhone/iPad. Or you can use flickr to share them. Or put your memory card into many new TVs and watch a slide show. Or load them into a digital photo frame. Or.....

And many people will have an old 35mm P&S camera that is better than that thing, just sitting in a closet gathering dust.

Man I love marketing.

Yeah, but you'd have to be a computer expert to do all that! And all those wires!
