Who Needs A DSLR Anymore?

    Canon is the last to the mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera game — why don't we have a better name for these cameras? — but its shot, the EOS M, looks pretty fantastic: It's got virtually the same guts and video powers as its T4i DSLR, but in a much smaller package. Downside: It's $800. But we may have officially reached a point where, for the aspiring amateur shooter, it's almost questionable if the bulk DSLR is really worth it.
