Dwarf-sensor stuff and mirrorslappers, no convincing mirrorless ILC systems with APS-C and FF sensors = doom.

I like to see Nikon do well so that there is some healthy competition.

Yeah, doom. Doomed just like Olympus and Panasonic who have no APS-C and FF mirrorless.

Panasonic survives on "video ticket". Oly is definitely doomed, even more so than Nikon.

YAPOD

The "extraordinary loss" comes from severance packages for 1000 workers..... in the long run, this is a cost saving measure which can improve profitability....

What this looks like to me is that they are getting out of (or reducing presence) in the P/S market. In the long term, this may be a good business decision, but only time will tell.

Nikons profit comes from DSLR's. Their mirrorless line flopped, and even high end P&S are going away, since Canon saw that they were the only market several years ago and has a huge head start in premium P&S bodies.

Nikon could produce a mirrorless version of the Df without risking money on lens development and tooling. We may see that happen.
