"That appears to be a bit of mis-reporting. Nikon says they are getting out of the COMPACT film camera business not the film SLR business.
They also reported a significant profit over the same quarter last year. "The newspaper (Nihon Keizai Shimbun) said Nikon will halt all development of 35mm compact cameras for the domestic market (meaning Japan) from this point on and end shipments to stores starting in the fiscal year that begins next April." that quote comes from: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific_business/view/ 57012/1/.html" - Eliis Vener
