One of the things I noted on a recent vacation was not only how many people these days use their camera phones to take pictures but also how many people are now carrying dedicated cameras again. No, not the small point and shoot ones, the big SLR type cameras, heavy as they are. Interesting that now that camera optics and software have become so good on mobile phones to replace an extra camera people are willing to carry heavy and big cameras for the extra quality (or just for the zoom and night shot capabilities?). Agreed, SLR cameras are now cheaper than ever but it doesn't make them any lighter to carry.

I really think the reason has nothing to do with technology...
People nowadays take their hobbies very seriously and are in the so called prosumer market.
Truth be told, that the point and shoot market has been erased by mobile phones.
Look at some data:
