That IS the bottom line, and in that you are right. But the fact remains that when you have a tiny box in the center you must use to focus, there is no comparison when compared to having the whole screen to focus with. I use both kinds of cameras, and there's no competition. But you have your ideas, and I have mine. As for shooting kiddie sports, let's say he wants to make money selling pictures of the kiddies to the folks. Wouldn't they want pictures of their kids that look more like Sports Illustrated images, or like what mom can do from the sidelines with a point and shoot? On the other hand, context is good too.
