Cost is not only R&D and production, it's also losses connected with using engineers for low volume products and highly qualified camera workers for manufacturing expensive, low volume items instead of profitable point & shoots. >One could pretty safely >assume, that within photographic, digital imaging products will be getting the >big bucks.
