I was thinking that Towerjazz is the sensor manufacturer of at least some of Nikon's sensors.
I think DSLRs will stay at least for the next ten years, with ML slowly but surely taking a greater slice of the cake. One thing is, I don't think the DSLR market will be the most competitive price wise.......now's the time for top of the range DSLR's like the D850/ D500 and their newer replacements, the entry levels will be the first to go, having average AF systems that are being better served by ML, with their almost full AF coverage.
As for Sony ruling the roost.......I think it will happen....eventually ....mount adapters will give Canikon lens owners a second lease of life.
I've noticed with the introduction of the now ubiquitous 150-600mm zooms, the amount of wildlife/nature shooters has risen enormously, Flikr for example had maybe 10-15% of wildlife shots........it's become very popular in the last two-three years and Flickr nature shots have risen to 40% or so.......the result has anchored many to the DSLR.
All other spheres of photography, weddings studio and general family shooting are now as well or better catered for by ML, with nearly full AF coverage and eye detect AF.
Fuji may well have limited it's professional potential by staying with APSc, where Sony went for FF, where are most of the protogs be they prosumer or pure pro........this aids Sony to rule the pro world in the future!
