It's an interesting article, but I'm not about to sell off yet. Granted there is a shift from lower priced cameras to cell phone units and Nikon etc. seems to have missed out somewhat. Even accepting that people driving the market are predominately over 50 years old and at least 90% of them are men, this is a large demographic that will remain for quite some time, and they have lots of money to spend.
I hear what you are saying. I am not about to abandon a camera for an ipad.
But changing from a Nikon big beast to a smaller, lighter, cheaper camera option with no quality loss, is a strong temptation.
I suppose what I am seeing is that the demise of the DSLR is a function of the combined effects of continued development of better and better sensors and the diminishing need out there, for big printed images.
