I think it's a very far jump to reach that conclusion. I do not believe that Nikon will abandon the film SLR market. Compact cameras are an entirely different product for an entirely different market. The N5 is too good a camera and has too loyal a following to drop it from the lineup in the forseeable future. I also believe that there are enough slide film shooters for Nikon to continue to manufacture and market 35mm film cameras.
I am concerned about Pentax though. Their marketing segment is significantly smaller than Canon and Nikon and dropping the MZ-S could be a very bad sign.
ARE Pentax dropping the MZ-S?
They seem to be dropping a lot of their product line as inventories run out and it makes me wonder what their plans are.
