Because Smartphones and Tablets (Phablets) are now ruling the the camera world

I love my little EPM2 and travel with it often while the D600 sits at home, but I have noticed that I am definitely in the minority. I have been to national parks, DC, and NYC in the past year and saw 1000 Canikons and a few other larger cameras, along with a metric ton of shooters using their phone and point and shoot, but only a couple of m4/3. I just can't see carrying that large equipment around for prints that no doubt will never be larger than 8x10 or something. Am I the only one seeing this or have others noticed?

I hate to admit it that we, enthusiasts (I'm in this category) the Pros, Semi-Pros, are the MINORITY when picture taking is concerned. From what I have seen within that last 5-7 years is that over 80% of the masses are using their phones and tablets to take photos including their once in a lifetime vacations. We can combine the P&S, FF, APS-S and M4/3 users/shooters and the numbers is very low. From my observation, maybe 1 out 20 has a regular camera, irregardless if it's P&S, FF, APS-C, M4/3 and the rest are phones and tablets

See the link below how photography is changing.
