Nikon could be out of business in 5 years?

There will always be photographers not willing to compromise quality. Nikon/Canon will just have to adjust slightly. Maybe bring out a NikonPhone to boost revenue lol.
I have 3 camera systems at the moment, each used for different purposes:
1. Mobile Phone = for stuff I don't care too much about and just want a memory.
2. Portable every day camera = for things I want good quality for, but I'm not getting paid.
3. Professional System = for camera outings or times I'm getting paid.
Well said Adrian - good post!

Yeah I have seen that as well. These people write such articles to sensationalize something to get readership. They are usually talking out of their rears.

I don't think Nikon is going anywhere. But then again, I would have said the same about Kodak 10 years ago
I could have predicted Kodak going out of business 10 years ago. That's when digital was getting more popular and even then Kodak wasn't keeping up.

I'd only be worried about Nikon if it were an American firm. The Japanese are less stupid, at business and especially gubmint levels....
Why so serious?
