thom hogan thinks a lot of things are possible. not all of them are.

Sure - but he's usually less "sensational" than several other
photo-websters.
The recently published Japanese sales figures for interchangeable lens
camera sales are probably a reasonable guide to what's going on, even if
there's some difference between markets.
IIRC the largest market chunk by any 35mm sensor camera was 1.8% (of
unit sales) with the Canon 5d. Nikon (FX) didn't make the cut-off. Sony
only featured in the figures with the newly released NEX cameras.
35mm format is a very small niche - most of the profit will be in lens
sales, including especially to APS-c users "future-proofing" by buying
35mm format lenses. That's why Nikon/Canon now release pro-quality
lenses in FX format only. They are really milking the market for
everything they can get.
