Those of you that follow Petapixel may have already seen this: http://petapixel.com/2013/07/15/the-dslr-camera-market-is-now-bigger-than-point-and-shoots/
I think that Ricoh may have seen this coming when they made their purchase of Pentax. Phone cameras are going to rapidly extinct point & shoot cameras, but the interchangeable lens market is something that camera phones can't compete with (either in style of functionality). Companies that are smart will probably stop devoting so many resources to the P&S segement and that should mean good news for DSLR and DSLR lens development for the companies that have them in their stables. Prescient analysis or wishful thinking? I report. You decide. :) -- "Photography is a Bastard left by Science on the Doorstep of Art" - Peter Galassi -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
