Re: CaNikon will have to enter the mrrorless market.....
All those numbers show me is that mirrorless is on its way to becoming a sustainable sub-market and that the sub-market for traditional DSLR\'s is shrinking. You can\'t draw any correlation between the two without a lot more information on the overall market conditions, just the kind of information large corporations pay market research firms to generate, so they can make educated guesses on where they should invest their R&D.
Also, you can\'t dismiss the Nikon 1. It may not be a particularly popular system on these boards, but it has a share of the market none the less. It\'s a fairly well supported system with some unique aspects, like the return of the ILC dive camera with two available AW lenses and use of the nine or so other lenses. Nikon\'s exploiting aspects of mirrorless that would be too costly on an SLR-based model or things other makers seem to have forgotten, like keeping things mostly pocketable. You can doubt it\'s future, but I don\'t doubt there\'s a market for the 1, or that Nikon isn\'t committed to making it successful.
