I don't know about anyone else, but I had to go to Google to see what that meant. "Prophet of Misfortune". I'll bite, can you expand on what you mean with this?

The issue is not "mirrorless", the issue is features. And there are things that mirrorless systems can do that DSLRs can't. It's a simple fact. You can find lots of comments on the interwebz about some advantages of Nikon's Z mount, and about what Canon is going.
Also: your comment makes it sounds as if the life of both of those companies is solely dependent upon certain camera types. I'm thinking that's completely wrong, especially with Canon. And I don't think that the ubiquity of mobile phones is particulary new. That market has been growing for quite a while, don't you think?
Regarding the "iffy" economy: aren't you paying attention? Things have never been better in the US of A! That's what we're being told, at least.

Then there's your title: major changes how? And why focus only on DSLRs, when micro 4/3s systems are a product class as well?
How do either of those create a barrier? The price of DSLRs keeps dropping, and there's a used market.
"Most camera manufacturers".... define "most"? In light of Oly, Fuji, etc, in addition to the big 2, I mean.
Yes, a new design allows the possibility of new features, which is a good thing. Product evolution happens.
"Slipping in the abyss..." A bit dramatic, don't you think?

"Prophet of doom" #rollingeyes and wondering can I have what you are smoking over there? - That was a joke case you take it seriously
Those aren't my words, those are Canons CEO remarks. I was just thinking about what he had stated and trying to think about what that means to the camera industry in general.

Without adding to the Gary / NS verbal stouch ......... we have had similar discussions previously
I mentioned in those earlier posts that 'commentators in the industry' have flagged a simliar 10-year change-over from mirrored bodies to mirrorless bodies similar to what happened with film to digital now some 15 yrs ago. We seem to be half-way through this 10-year period
They also comment that they expect that 'consumer-level' bodies will quickly go mirrorless, while top-level mirrored dSLR bodies will remain as 'legacy' bodies for those photographers for whom mirrorless will not provide a solution
