Yeah, seems as if the SLT development took most of their resources so they didn't really care for their SLRs. The NEX will boost their market share quite a bit though. If I had to guess - without a mirrorless system both Canon and Nikon will suffer soon.

You mean entry level segment will suffer? :-) As at the moment it rather seems that Nikon and Canon are battling exclusively in the mid-segment (550D/60D/7D and Nikon equiv.) and it's really difficult to believe that EVILs could make an impact there.
On the other hand, I really do not understand Sony's stance here. To me all their product lines are massively overlapping: oversaturated entry segment (2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx), NEX and new SLT's. While the mid segment (where A700 used to be) leaves a yawning gap. Or maybe I'm missing something here.
