Yeah, that's why i'm not exactly sure. The still photos aren't up to par with a decent DSLR. That said, the ability to shoot 60 fps into a buffer is pretty compelling. This camera can capture that "magic moment" in ways no DSLR can. That seems to be my biggest problem. I'm either too quick or too slow on the shutter, or someone blinks, or I miss the action.

The big downside for me (besides the point & shoot quality stills) is the fact that it only shoots auto exposure brackets at 2-3 fps, not 60 fps. That's no better than an entry-level DSLR. Part of the reason I'm looking at prosumer cameras is the ability to do AEB, so I can start experimenting with HDR photography.

It's either this, or the XTi or XSi.

Though truthfully, I kinda want both.
