But first, consider these stats: In 2009, 35 million cameras were bought in the United States, but in 2014 that figure dropped to 9.4 million. For 2015, the prediction is around 7 million, made up of 4.5 million compacts and 2.33 million interchangeable lens cameras (ILCs, such as mirrorless and DSLR cameras). And the numbers keep dropping from there, per research firm IDC.
Given this radical decline – all thanks to consumers shift to the smartphone for casual photography – it’s amazing so many camera companies are still in business. Those still standing have confronted the new normal and continue to introduce cameras geared for people who want to go beyond what smartphones can deliver in image quality.

And with the decline in quality cameras I have also seen a rise in people wanting a good photo done.

great point Moab Man....but with the lack of demand for cameras, the prices on them will go up....but you're right....more people will have to pay for good quality prints.

Guess pros are still feeding the big names out there. And from consumer perspective, $200 is better than $4000 to get the same thing they want in the end.

I will take this as a hopeful sign that Nikon will put a lot of effort into the D7100 successor if it happens to come out this year.

I think you got "supply and demand" backwards Chris.
