Lumping the E-1 into that category also lumps James Nachtwey's shootin' iron into the P&S category (though he does have to load film into it). I guess it seemed like a cheap shot.

In my case I think of my Canon 20D as a point and shoot, or more like a shoot and toss. Once it's worn to shreds I won't even look back to see if it hits the trash can it's being thrown into. S.
