I'm about to buy my first DSLR: a Nikon D90. I've done lots and lots of homework, but have agonized over whether to wait and see if the second-generation four-thirds cameras are going to make the SLRs obsolete. I've decided to go forward with the D90, purely for the optical viewfinder and super-quick focus of the D90 for sports and action. I have a son who plays several travel sports, and have found it impossible to shoot action shots of him with anything except a D90 I rented.But if sports weren't my main shooting goal, I think I'd be all over whatever the next Panasonic 4/3 model will be.

A good brief summary. I am in the “revolution” camp: as electronic viewfinders (EVF) continue to improve (the one in the Olympus E-P2 is excellent already), the need for a mirror-box will disappear for all but some pros. Yes, the m4/3 sensor is a bit smaller than the one in most CaNikons, but it's not really that big a difference except for techie 'pixel peepers'. I find my E-P2 is really outstanding. When you want light weight and compactness, and even if you don't, it's the way to go!!
