[QUOTE="Phillydog1958, post: 152081, member: 8704"] I almost want to agree with Jeff, but after today, I'm not sure. My company has a new Android/iPhone app that can be used to access and evaluate obesity in canine and feline patients. While presenting the new tool, I asked how many people had smart phones. Of the 5 people whom I presented to, only one had a smartphone and she was a 20-something technician. The veterinarian even had a flip phone. This was a rural clinic. I notice that my clients who live in larger cities, tend to have smarter phones than those residing in smaller towns. But, they continue to make these older phones because there continues to be a market for them. My mother, who is a senior, has an older model phone without a camera. I think there will always be a market for point-and-shoot cameras, but that market is shrinking, as camera phones become more and more sophisticated. I also have seen a segment of the photography community that is gravitating towards mirrorless cameras. They're actually on Youtube. They discuss mirrorless cameras moving into the DSLR market. I'm not sure if this will happen anytime soon, but we can certainly see that the writing might be on the wall and things do change. Change is inevitable, especially when it comes to technology.
