It doesn't create a solution to an existing problem.

The problem with SLR's are that they are too big and bulky to carry around
all the time, although they serve their purpose. The problem with P&S are
that they are too slow, low
burst/buffer, slow AF, poor noise control, etc. but they serve their
purpose.

With EVIL, I can't see how it creates any solution. Am I wrong?

If I need a bag to carry it, then why not just carry an SLR?

because you don't necessarily need a bag (it's quite small with a
pancake lens) and an slr is bigger and heavier.

If that's the market they are going after, then surely they would have
developed a greater range of decent prime lenses prior to launch? It
strikes me as they are not really sure where they are going with this.

At the moment, they are not competing with SLR's, they are not competing
with P&S's, they are not competing with camera phones and they are not
competing with Leica M-Series. Maybe they know something I don't?
