What a mistake. They will do ANYTHING to preserve the domain of the
DSLR. Fixed lens compacts, no matter how they are specked out are one-
step up from camera phones.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. I still cherish my Canonet QL-17 RF
camera and never complained about its quality. Nor would I feel
inadequately equipped if I had an old Leica M3 with a 50mm Summicron.
Trying to make a "hand" camera like an SLR into a 4x5 is an exercise
in futility, IMO. FWIW: I would consider myself pretty well equipped
if I had an old Kodak Tourist (refurbished), with a few good filters,
a goog tripod and my LunaPro.

And my little Fuji 10MP pocket camera has done me yeoman service.
Can't complain.
