I have to agree that the $129 P&S market (turn dial to green AUTO and press shutter) is going away but the newer "pocketable" enthusiast cameras will do fine. The 1" sensor Sony RX100 being a prime example. But these pocketable enthusiast cameras will displace larger cameras not cell phones. I have purchased my last "larger" camera.
