I re-posted the 5D information as a means of qualifying my speculations on the pocket cameras and where they might be in the NEAR future. In the above postings the use of the 5D in professional production was not covered. From what I can discover the Nikon was not first but neither was the 5D.

Also, I think you confused my point. It was not to show anything, it was to speculate on the future and gain insight to the thoughts of other photographers on the site. I hope you don't confuse my speculation on what is coming in the NEAR future with what I use currently or even with what I like.
I just wanted other folks thoughts on the pocket cameras and you and Peggyee provided.

Thanks to both of you for your insights.
First I do want to apologize, I was pms-ing and you didn't deserve my flippant remarks. You are fairly new to our forum and I've already enjoyed your questions and comments here, thank you.

Interesting link, 39 point AF is very drool inducing. I wont be switching to Nikon but nice to see what they have lined up.

Really, if you do photography as a hobby, ditch the point and shoot and get a low end Canon or Nikon DSLR. They have loads more features, are only a couple hundred more than the top of the line point and shoot cameras. While you may lose the HD component the point and shoot cameras may have, you will gain the ability to switch lenses. That is another crucial feature for a photog, to be able to switch lens for whatever application presents itself. I carry 5 different lens wherever my camera goes. I've also recently started playing around with different lens during shoots, though none that are currently up, I think Luxury and Chastity Kane 'coming soon' were the first shoots I started using multiple lens with.
