 My camera, the Coolpix 5700 is commonly referred to as an "SLR-like" 
 camera. For a while, I considered it a dSLR..until I was corrected by an 
 SLR owner who later told me that I wasted money of "that piece of crap" and 
 I should have bought a dSLR. I suspect that a dSLR group with no 
 clarification with bring in equally as many ZLR owners as dSLR owners. I 
 don't want to scroll through threads about lenses, and I certainly don't 
 want to be told on a regular basis that for "a little more cash I can get a 
 dSLR". The need is warranted for a ZLR group, separate from the dSLR group, 
 and the line of division needs to be spelled out in advance.
