[quote name='popo' timestamp='1315504654' post='11436']And are they really comparing the Pentax Q to a SLR?...[/quote]
No, they compare it with an Apple iPhone. Anyhow, based on the numbers in the article the DSLR market shows still strong growth (Canon estimates by 24% in 2011). I suppose Canon and Nikon can live with that. The situation will only become critical once this growth slows down. Right now the bigger high end compacts (e.g. Canon G12 and Nikon P7100) are probably hit hardest by the rise of the mirrorless.
