i have no film experience (well ok snapshot cameras), so i've only ever used lcds and evfs. i had a chance to play with a 1dmk2 recently, looked through the optical viewfinder and went ehhh what's this, looks too real for me... think i'm too used to looking at a video
i like my a2, i like how it feels in my hand, how everything seems to be in the right place, and how everything i need fits in a little sling bag. my greatest frustration is the lack of non-noisy high iso. i like to take pictures of kids indoors, and while AS is great, it's no substitute for a fast shutter speed.
that, and the huge dof that non-slrs have may eventually force me down the dslr route. but for now, the sheer size of those monsters puts me off.
re: pocket cams... yeah i'll seriously consider your advice about not worrying so much about advanced features in a pocket camera. but before i give up hope, i'll wait for another round of announcements from the manufacturers.
