There are people who buy dslr cameras to take snapshots, and they do it because they think this will magically make their photos better.
And then these cameras never leave automatic mode, and never have the kit lens removed.
The point is that you don't need an expensive camera to take perfectly good shots [for most applications]

Truth is... DSLRs and cameras in general are becoming magical.
My girlfriends dad just came bak from Africa with a point-and -shoot, and I was convinced that several of his photos were stolen from National Geographic. These were not average snaps.
My dad just came back from Dubai, and not only was he amazed at the lowlight performance of the camera (yes, on Auto), but the camera was also cropping portraits by itself (sony's Auto Portrait setting), taking out the skill of composition. Instead of spending hours stitching his photos into a panorama, he was able to do it on the fly. And he could take incredible lowlight HD movies without changing any settings. Intelligent Auto settings also detect what scenes you're shooting and can do some pretty advanced settings to make your shot look professional.
I'll be impressed with DSLRs when they have advanced post-processing and connectivity. Image stacking, noise reduction and sharpening based on computer vision, OCR, light field technology for focussing and 3D, NFC, WiFi Direct
> Why burden yourself with such a bulky device, not to mention the cost of it, when your good old phone can take just as good photos.
