Re: Wonder what effect this will have on R&D

P&S were high volume sellers whose R&D and NRE costs were likely shared with other product lines like DSLRs. This is especially true for camera makers that are vertically integrated with their own FABs, like Canon. Will be interesting to see how this affects future R&D.

I think it has already affected current R&D, just look at the offerings that were just announced in the P&S catagory, some are actually downgrades, and most are sidesteps, there appears to have been zero R&D last year, so I think we can safely predict that there won't be any for next year either.
