Came upon this article talking about a press release in Japan. The long and short of it is that Nikon plans on focusing on the medium and high end DSLR's, not introducing so many models, and a proper assumption would be I guess thinning out the offerings at the entry level.
I'm curious on what this will look like. Like many things, people tend to have a loyalty to what they first cut their teeth on unless it was an overwhelmingly bad decision. I see this playing out one of two ways. This will be the death of Nikon because there will be too few jumping into the Nikon starter pool and even fewer that move on to the medium/high end stuff. Or, Nikon makes the few entry level so monetarily cheap that it is irresistible and then there is the potential for future medium/high end customers.
