From: RichA on 6 Jan 2010 23:17 Canon might have been right to avoid this show. Seems like it's a showcase for lame, cookie-cutter P&S cameras only. A dwindling market for a increasingly boring camera segment. http://www.dpreview.com/

That's because DSLRs are rapidly going the way of the dinosaur and the wet-plate 8X10 view cameras. I'll give DSLRs another 5 years before they have found their dust-collecting place on everyone's shelves just like my SLR gear and darkroom supplies did 10 years ago.

Maybe if one attends CES, he can meet the P&S Troll in person? ;^) Bob
