As a DSLR owner, there's times when hauling around a hefty camera + lens is a grind, such as gigs, parties, etc. - also, as DSLR owners will be aware, you get noticed when you've got a large camera around your neck, especially if it's got a large lens on it.
To get the equivalent lens spec, say, on a canon 500d, your looking at about £560 for the body and £300 for a decent 28mm lens, that's £860
A lot of camera enthusiasts own more than one camera - many camera geeks own a few film cameras too.
It's a nice bit of kit, but I'd rather opt for Canon PowerShot G10, cheaper and more flexible.

Not a bad price...
I can see the market for this.
