AnandTech has a great article on the state of digital imaging, including many of the new DSLR’s announced in January and February from all the major vendors.
January and February are anticipation months in the Digital Camera industry this year. Anything big is likely to wait until PMA in March to be announced. Manufacturers are consolidating product lines, reshuffling their point-and-shoot offerings, and dropping hints. With the worldwide economy in recession (or worse) things seem even slower than usual as the Digital SLR industry – which many thought was bullet-proof – is finally feeling the pinch of declining sales.
With the economy in decline, sales of the high-end DSLR’s are slowing and becoming more business tools than pro-sumer hobby buys. While it’s possible that we could see the DSLR market shrink, all the major players are still rolling out significant improvements in each generation.
