Yes, there will always be a small niche market for DSLRs (just as there still is a small market for film SLRs), but we are likely to see a reduction in available models. Plus the prices for these cameras and their accessories (lenses, flashes, etc) will climb. and finally, the camera manufacturers will do everything possible to prevent 3rd party accessories from operating correctly with their cameras to protect their profit. We are already seeing this happen with the D500 and the new 70-200 f2.8 lens (prices are up and compatibility is down). Definitely a sign of the times.</p></blockquote><p></p>
