Chris Nichols from Dpreview TV said in a recent video that “Nikon is dropping five lines of SLRs” (6:44 mark):
Two months ago I reported that three lines of Nikon DSLRs will not be replaced. Maybe Chirs is referring to that rumor or maybe he has some additional information from some internal Nikon presentations. It is possible that Nikon added two more DSLR lines to the list I reported two months ago. I think it is safe to assume that only high-end DSLRs will survive in the future.
