dSLR? Why bother

So if I take my DX6490 into a warzone, I can be assured my shots are as good as those a professional might take with a 1DS mk2 and a batch of L glass? :D :p

No, I think it is just that they probably won't be much different to the shots you would take with a Canon blah blah L glass blah blah :p
 
OK, the thread title was maybe a bit provocative and seems to have riled some people but it wasn't meant to be taken completely literally or to apply to everyone. I just found it interesting that the guy, who could afford any camera and used to use leica rangefinders, had actually chosen to use consumer digicams. His reasons for doing so were interesting as was his methods round some of the limitations. As he points out most of his comtempories think he is mad and use pro dSLRs.

I would love a dSLR and keep being tempted but can't really justify the cost at the moment. I started with film using a manual Canon rangefinder and then got an Oly OM2 and my small digicam with a screen on the back just doesn't feel right. But that is really just an excuse and I know I could do far more with what I have got and my real problem is lazyness.

Another page I thought was fantastic and I look at whenever my wallet feels threatened is below. I think I probably first saw it linked on here so apologies if you have seen it before but the results the guy gets out of some cheap kit and a lot of imagination and skill are amazing.
