the "sharp plunge in demand" is Nikon's P&S film camera sales dropping from about 1.3 million two years ago to about 600K last year to about 50K this year (over comparable periods). if that is not a clear sign to Nikon then what is? i also seriously doubt any other P&S film camera vendor is selling noticeably better. total Japanese manufacturer film SLR production has dropped from a peak of something like 3 million to well under half a million over a slightly longer time period.
