This is the same complaint people had about, e.g., film cameras, and before that, electronically controlled shutters. Very few people are willing to live will all those sacrifices just to get better battery life from an older generation of camera. History repeats itself.

Fortunately, there are two product lines with lots of overlap and unique qualifications that the vast majority of individuals can choose from and be happy with.

Nobody is forced to make a sacrifice they don't want to. This is a complete win/win for the consumer.

For now. DSLR sales have been declining since 2012. It's just a matter of time--it's not like Nikon still manufactures film SLRs, for example.
