Glass half empty interpretation:
MF digital is dead. 35FF is the new Medium Format and Canon owns it 100%.
The fate of Pentax rests solely on Samsung's desire to remain a player in
the DSLR segment.
Glass half full interpretation:
Now there is only Hasselblad to compete against in the MF digital niche. A
smaller company can survive quite happily with a small percentage of the
overall market. Look at Apple who have had 3-5% of the PC market for years.
Even pre iPod (but post iMac) they were doing quite well with this small
fraction. Pentax have always been a "think different" kind of company and
probably just need one "cult" camera to survive.
Other strange things in the camera market. The Chinese have embraced digital
as expected, but also Large Format cameras. Prices for premium lenses are
rising on eBay and part of this is Chinese buyers.

Bummer.
So which way to view the remaining contenders in the market. All poised to
fail
due to a generally weak market or more opportunity to prosper due to
reduction
of competition in the market?
