What can we do, Thomas. Looks like there’s tons of people out there who buy these things no matter what, and for what they need, they are well served.
That manufacturers need to protect their SLRs, there is no doubt. Look at Sony killing the R1 (a think-outside the box jewel that I’m happy to have nabbed for $800 already out of production before it disappeared altogether), because they had to protect their new Alpha series just bought from Minolta…
Hopefully, the odd compact RAW camera will remain on the market, whether it is the Lumix LX2 or the mysterious Sigma. Surely we shall be forced to abandon the good old habit of sticking with one brand through several decades in favor of fishing for the rare birds still flying, whatever their color. Oh, the joys of capitalist creative destruction!
