Is the Oly E-P1 good enough as a dSLR replacement?

... better picture quality than the point and shooters...

That is, if your eyes are trained enough to tell the difference. Else, you are right, if it does not work for you, it does not work for you. Better to save the money and buy a point and shoot.

In that case, an old 6 MP point-and-shoot is enough for 4x6 photos. :bsmilie:

Too many people equate newer and more expensive as better, but don't recognise their own needs.

NOT TRUE! I use 2megapixel phone camera for 4X6 picutres XD but I agree with what you say about people equating good = better,my new computer is currently giving me loads of problems,lol

But who develops photos to compare IQ? We can compare and scrutinise IQ right there on the screen, and the diff in IQ is clear as day!

But one of the best way to view a picture is to have a printed

We used to buy dSLRs for their superior image quality in low light, ability to change lenses to suit our occasion and manual controls and would put up with the bulk for these reasons.

Now that micro 4/3 cameras are starting to match the abilities of our dSLRs, is there a reason to keep using our dSLR instead of changing over completely to m4/3?

Yes, there will always be a time and place for dSLRs (sport, ultra wide, super tele, etc) but I'm talking about the shooting that you and I mostly do - the happy snaps and recording of our lives in digital format.

Yes, definitely. If users of cameras like the Oly E400, E500, E300/330 are happy with what they have, then the EP1 can definitely replace these dSLRs.
