Not my experience.
In Feb 2007 I was finally ready to go digital.
I wanted to carry less bulk, so instead of getting a DSLR to replace my SLR, I got a compact camera.
That experiment lasted nine months
By November 2007 I wrote this off as a failed experiment ... I missed the flexibility of my SLR
My daughter had broken the LCD on her camera, so I could justify giving my camera to her and getting a DSLR for me.
Today I will use my iPhone for cases when I just need a quick snap, but something where I need telephoto, or control motion, or, or {95% of my pictures} I use my K-30 or Q-7.

Nope, I wasn't interested back when our children were young.
Many of my friends purchased a camcorder when their kids were born, but I just purchased a new pocket camera so I could take a picture anytime anywhere.
