I just hope that this will not be the fate of Nikon, Canon too.
Use of social media and smart phones have changed the game on the low end
if Samsung, Nokia, or apple get their act together and make a better camera experience, the small cameras are dead
The problem with nikon is not the cameras issues, those will always happen. It is the response to those issues. Corporately they have chosen not to acknowledge any defects in the d800 or d600.
the policy of not selling repair parts is also disturbing
Fortunately for nikon, I don't see any competitor changing the game but I have been happy to see canon doing some positive things in owning up to issues and putting out real firmware upgrades
I don't agree, I don't want an expensive Apple smartphone and an expensive contract just to take a few photos. Nor do I want a cheaper Android Smartphone and its complex non upgradable operating system just to take a few photos.
Quality compact cameras won't be replaced by smartphones as they are too specialised and cheap compact cameras are still way cheaper, more convenient and specialised than a smartphone.
I would suggest that only the most casual of snappers have switched to smartphones. Sure there are millions and millions of them but anyone with even a slight interest in the images they aquire will ultimately want a dedicated camera of some sort.
