I'd say that most of them have been barely surviving for years knowing a bit about the economics of building hardware products. That's borne out by the acquisitions of Apogee and SBIG and also the data that FLI shared on their market sizes at the AAIC conference a couple of years back. If it wasn't for the life sciences we'd never have advanced past adapting DSLRs.
Hopefully, we'll continue to see advancement in sensor technology and adoption of it by a range of vendors from low cost/minimal features to more spendy/high quality. That will give us a spectrum of products that match the diversity of imagers and their needs.
Cheers,
Rick.
