Just one other concern: market share. In 2007, the major players in the worldwide DSLR market were Canon (43% and falling), Nikon (40% and climbing), Sony (6%), and Olympus (6%). By difference, all others (Fuji, Kodak, Panasonic, Pentax) make up just five percent.
From a business perspective, will a company be willing and able to stay in a business segment where they have such a small piece of the pie? I certainly hope so, because some of the most innovative features seem to originate from the smaller companies trying to wow the consumer and capture sales away from the slower moving behemoths at the top of the heap.
