It's about time. I've wanted a reflex camera with quality similar to an SLR ever since I bought a Canon G1 10+ years ago. "Through The Computer" seemed like the next logical step after "Through The Lens" SLR cameras.
After a few cameras, I reluctantly switched to a D-SLR for paid gigs, but my "hit rate" went down since I don't always know what the onboard computer will do. Sure, I like the faster lenses and low noise sensor, but it seems clunky to carry so much hardware.
At this point, I would suggest that camera makers try to compete against smart phones with "smart cameras" that have cell connections, "apps", bluetooth, etc. The smart phones are close to eating their lunch. It's just so easy to shoot a photo and email it immediately. With a DSLR, I carry a heavy case and a laptop and need to spend time processing the photos before sending them.
