Canon Expects ILC Camera Sales Drop to 50% by 2020

With cell phone capabilities continuing to rise, it's understandable that the consumer market will dwindle. Why spend upwards of a $1000 on a cell phone and then drop that much again on a camera when in the hands of a casual user, the cell phone will do as much or more then the camera.

Unless camera manufactures come up with some exciting new features not available on a cell phone, I see the eventual demise of consumer grade cameras.

Does the average non photographer consumer care? All they want is a shot to post on social media.
 
I was thinking about this topic when I was looking at this "fan cam" video and I was thinking that at least to some extent, you can tell the difference between what a cellphone video looks like compared to something recorded on something better. I'm not sure if I'll bother to write something similar from a still picture analysis -- probably not. It was mainly just a "passing thought". Not enough people will read it to make any difference anyway. . . .
