That's balderdash. While it's true that many people, including many
pros, have switched or are using SLRs, there is still a large
contingent of pros using RF cameras. And long after the SLR
"revolution" to which you allude, many correspondents an PJs
continued to use the RF camera. Salgado uses them alongside his
SLR, Elliott Erwitt has been using Leicas for years, along with
whatever else he needs to get the job done. The RF has its place,
and can be used in places where the SLR is inappropriate. I'm sorry
that your experience with the RF was not so satisfactory.
