Quote:The habit of putting film in your camera died surprisingly quicklyDid it? Early (consumer) digital cameras were expansive, had serious operational issues such as short battery life. So although digital imaging was available in the early 90's, it wasn't until the late 90's before it had matured enough to really start to take off. Even then, it was mostly an attack from the bottom up, with the biggest reasons for taking over being not having to wait for processing, and cost of such processing.
The benefits mirrorless systems bring over a DSLR I'd argue are far smaller than the shift from film to digital. It has its place, but is not a revolution in itself.
