There's a tree outside my office window that is a magnet for warblers this time of year, and the DMR with its better high-ISO performance and low incremental cost will be the primary tool for these photos. There are still some photos and will always be some photos where the viewfinder makes or breaks the ability to capture the image and that's where the SL shines.
