Definitely carving itself a niche.
Aardman used DSLRs on motion control arms for the last Wallace and Gromit, partly because they have the advantage of being very small, and therefore able to get close-in shots that wouldn't be possible with a honking great Bolex. That wouldn't be the only reason of course, the whole digital workflow must make the whole stop-motion process much more agile.
