I think that is the way things are heading. Nikon has already discontinued a number of DSLRs, and even though they still are producing some, they have stated they will not be developing any new DSLRs. I wonder if they will also stop making Bridge and P&S cameras.

Does anyone find it Ironic that the F6 was the last SLR and D6 the last D-SLR camera developed by Nikon?

No that is why the first Nikon Z camera you could buy was the Z7 (Z6 and Z7 were announced at the same time but the Z7 was available first).
