And here I think comes the problem. It is the smartphones that are now "good enough for most". No more need for P&S and Rebels. And, for the few enthusiasts willing to go past the smartphone, you need to do something outstanding in order to capture their imagination. "Good enough" is not enough anymore.
IMO, one of the main areas ILC makers need to concentrate on, if they want to lure smartphone users, is to eliminate the need to post-process images. They need to have JPGs come straight from the camera as polished as a smartphone with the ability to seamlessly allow them to put those images out to the Internet. Then they tout the added abilities ILCs bring like low light capability, longer zoom ranges, better bokeh etc. One of the biggest drawbacks of using an ILC these days is the need to post process RAW files to get polished JPG images. Even a person like me, a life long ILC user, is getting tired of having to sit at a computer to turn a photo from an ILC into a decent JPG image.
I wonder if any of the camera makers get this. It is simple to see. Adopting computational photography, an Android based OS and adding a SIM card slot to an ILC would make for a camera I couldn't wait to get my hands on. This formula is tailor made for Olympus and could save MFT from going extinct.
Fuji does that very well. their JPG is quite good OoC. They also have very picture style. This is why they are doing well.
