Does this mark the end of the SLR era?
DSLR will soon become cheaper to own and meaning shooting film will essentially becomes more expensive...as demand for film goes down and production cost go up. |

Read carefully!!
The article says that Nikon is about to stop production of 35mm compact cameras. I.e. POINT AND SHOOT compact cameras. It doesnt mention anything about SLRs. |

"Comment about a newspaper article on our film compact camera business in Japan An article appeared yesterday on a Japanese daily newspaper that Nikon would withdraw from its film-based compact camera business in Japan. However, we affirm that we do not currently have such plan as this article reports. Our film compact camera business still remains sizable although their sales shows a clear contrast to our rapidly expanding digital camera business. Our Japanese photo dealers will continue selling Nikon film compact cameras. We apologize to our customers and photo business partners for any inconvenience eventually caused by this article." |

Anyway I don't think Nikon P&S cameras are popular or well know as their SLRs.
