I'm guessing another, very powerful factor is at work, one that may not seem logical, but is almost irrepressible. People hiring us, the smart kids at advertising agencies, view the DSLR cameras as, "cool."
This is not a force to be underestimated. Image quality just doesn't stand a chance against cool, and, indeed, the small form-factor does offer creative opportunities.
Interesting times...
Good shooting and best regards,
