You do know what Micro Four Thirds is right? Mirrorless cameras?....The premium compact SLR market is BOOMING.
Panasonic are releasing a new Lumix GH3 in a month or so (which I will be buying) that will cost around $2000, it's got to the point where casual people are buying these cameras because they are so damn good. We're talking SLR quality photos in compact (well nearly) form factor. Then you add on the price of extra lenses and so on. Got a GF3 myself currently and lenses worth about $2000 too altogether, got the camera cheap and got hooked.
It's actually quite good value, the lenses aren't expensive per se - $300 for example for a 45-200mm telephoto, but some different ones are expensive. Anyways...lots of people are getting into this, the people who normally would just buy a Lumix TZ-whatever and be done with it.
Seriously dude. I'll hold my hand up for talking rubbish sometimes but you have taken the cake on this one.
