Firstly thanks for the quick replies.
I'm not blaming Nikon or Panasonic or Olympus or anybody for anything. I'm just putting forth honest viewpoints from a person that's trying to make the transition from point-and-shoot/prosumer to SLR cameras. So far it's a painful and (irritating) experience.
The way you guys put it, does it mean that SLR is such a *slow* camera that you guys have to slowly compose all your shots before finally taking a picture? Does it mean that you need to have several years of experience of using SLR to know what settings to use for particular photos/scenes?
From what I see, the *features* difference between SLR and Prosumer cameras is slowly disappearing. Nowadays you can do most of the adjustments as well in prosumer. You only can't change the lenses (But that's beside the point at the moment).
Edit : In reply to vikingw2k, so one must be a *camera geek* in order to master the SLR?
put it this way, u need to put in effort and time in order to master it, same goes to others, don't expect you'll be as fast as Kimi Raikonen if you are given a chance to drive his winning F1 car. Give u tiger woods golf set and caddy and u'll be as good as tiger woods ? I don't think so.I'm not blaming Nikon or Panasonic or Olympus or anybody for anything.

if you think with an DSLR you are 'pro' and will take 'pro' pictures, then you are very wrong. You are just too used to PnS that the DSLR takes out alot of those convenient.
