I don't have a strong feeling on the name, like I say most visitors will never have heard of Nikon DSLR.net, we are only a small group, they put in a search query, about some issue they have or just want to find a nice quiet forum where they can discuss photography. So they search in general terms, occasionally they find us. I don't believe any visitors actually enter our URL unless someone has recommended the forum to them and passed on the URL.

Some stay, some are looking for something different.

Technically it seems there is no pentaprism in the viewfinder so no reflection takes place but I still regard the Z's as DSLR's because you are composing the image through the viewfinder or screen through the actual taking lens, rather than a separate viewfinder and AF and AE are also through the taking lens.

I do think we should actively support and encourage the Z's they ARE the future. Just like digital took over from film, mirrorless will carry forward as it evolves, we will see fewer new mirrored bodies being released over time.

The big question is, what will come out of the hat next?
