Ah, the 35mm/50mm point is a good one. I think that was even at the end of the article I read, but it got swept out somewhere in the flood of information I'm trying to absorb on this subject.
I've been using dpreview for a while, but they're better for specs and particular detail comparisons than a sense of the overall product ecosystem, which seems like the big question for starting out in this space. They do seem to think that both the current Nikon and Canon have nearly-instant (<0.1s) first-shot times, even if it takes the menu and stuff another second to wake up.
And nearly everyone agrees on cheap UV filters. I'm glad that there's consensus on at least one point :)
