Interesting opinion this guy has. For the single primary described style of
shooting he's right, IMO. As a matter of fact, I bought a "twist body"
digicam for exactly those sorts of reasons.
It's when one is *not* shooting in that manner that the LCD screen's
deficiencies become obvious. The important point though, is barely
mentioned: that it's possible to have a digital camera that has the LCD
viewfinder benefits he mentions, as well as all of the beneficial attributes
of an SLR as well.
And there's a red herring: it's not necessary to have large sensor size to
have a "digital SLR." One could be made with current common sensor sizes, if
desired, thus maintaining the large depths of field and small lens sizes
he's touting as advantageous.
