Indeed - playing with a lot of Digicams at present and some are quite
good, but not that good. Perhaps something like a Sony H1 gets close,
but it's limited. Is a 9mp Fujifil S9000 better than a cheap DSLR
with 6mp - sometimes.
Ability to focus in near darkness? I managed it in absolute darkness
with a Canon S2 IS - it has a strong, green focus assist light so I
was able to use it to light up a subject that I couldn't even see.
Didn't use he screen or finder as they couldn't manage, just held it
like a torch, put the green spot on the possum's eyes and fired. I'm
pleased with the technique and impressed that the camera could do it.
DSLRs don't do movies - yet. Digicams don't do very good movies, yet.
That is, whatever claims you make will be obsolete by next Christmas.
