Again, what it says in the above msm article is incorrect. Nikon has stopped development of DSLRs. Nikon has not stopped production of DSLRs.
This is from the Nikkei article that the above MSM article referenced:
"From now on, Nikon intends to focus on digital mirrorless cameras, but production and distribution of existing SLR models will continue."

This year, something like 30% of their camera sales came from DSLRs, so I don’t see Nikon in a hurry to lose that DSLR revenue. DSLR production and sales will continue. However as revenue continues to decrease on the DLSRs, there will come a point beyond which it won’t be profitable to produce them.

Yes Nikon will still make some of its current DSLRs, but there wont be any new models of DSLRs released. And already Nikon and Canon both have retired some popular DSLR models. Also camera repair shops can no longer get parts to fix some DSLR models.
DSLRs wont totally disappear, but the writing is already on the wall, as their age of dominance is gone forever, and wont be returning. Just the facts
Cheers and best to you, from a SLR and DSLR pro user for over 40 years, who made the move to mirrorless in January 2017 and has no regrets moving on.

DSLRs will still be around for a long time. I still shoot 35mm film using an F100 an OM-2, and a Hassalbald CM500. Viva la choices! I have a DSLR, kept as a spare, and two mirrorless kits, M43 and full frame. The M43 kit gets the most use. The DSLR the least use. All the others are in-between.

The 35mm film camera had a long reign as the king of photography cameras. It was replaced as king by the DSLR, which had a relatively short reign. Now the mirrorless camera is king. What will come along next to depose the mirrorless camera as king?
As much as I hate to admit it, video is the future. Go Pro, cell phone, mirrorless, it doesn't matter as long as it can produce a short, punchy video.

Not so fast. I am STILL using 35mm, 120 and DSLR's as well as just one mirrorless camera. I get great enjoyment from using every one of them and more. If mirrorless has taken over your life then congratulations. But many of us are still quite happy using those that have made us happy for decades now.

I think you are crowning the new king too early!
My old man was using a "missorless" interchangeable lens, interchangeable back film camera in 1946-47 and it was based on even older designs. DSLRs have been around since the mid 50s. 70 years short reign. Not quite, and there are many of us still using them to take good pictures.

Shucks, we've never talked about the DSLR vs. Mirrorless before on this forum so I am stumped. But the future? AI will take over so there will be no more need for iso, noise, focal lengths...
I also go with AI. The most obvious and achievable advancement is in autofocus and subject tracking. From my own experience and from binge watching "making of" movie documentaries, focus and tracking are major limitations, especially when you want to shoot with large apertures.
I can also see your point on noise. Perhaps with focus stacking and massively improved data bandwidth they can counter noise.

I had a dream I was King. I awoke and found my mirrorless camera on the night stand.

up next. the eyeball camera now being developed at MIT?
and what happened to the camera, you shoot the pic then adjust the focus after you take the shot

The Lytro Illum was marketed horribly with the emphasis on "live" photos you could click on online-whoopee.
What made it interesting is you could adjust the aperture -changing depth of field- AFTER the photo was taken as well as designating the prime focus area. Imagine what that would do for weddings, sports, news photography and more if some small mirrorless camera had it.
It also produced 3D pairs, anaglyph 3D and more. BTW, the software still works on Windows 11.

The eyeball camera goes back a few years.
