LOL. Indeed, I like the way you put it.

To me, DSLRs have one major advantage, that is the Bad @ss factor.
Boost our economy? Not boost Japan's economy and make our ringgit value worse if we buy Canon or Nikon?
Hmm. I've never tried this before. You tried before? And will they give you a media pass just by looking at the DSLR?

Also don't be too constraint by the rules of photography as well. Some rules are meant to be broken anyway
