EVIL cameras
If you want a digital camera that takes interchangeable lenses, your only option is DSLR. But perhaps not for long. Apparently several manufacturers are looking into developing Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) cameras. They will have no mirror or optical viewfinder. They will have an electronic viewfinder like SLR-type consumer point and shoot cameras, but lens mounts like SLRs. I have to assume that the lens mounts will be compatible with current SLR systems, though it is possible that manufacturers would design special mounts for these cameras.
