I suppose you're right that there's a market. It will probably just result in those cameras being updated on long product cycles and not getting really cutting edge updates. There's still money to be had there but maybe not enough to sink major development money into.

In short: the market for the $500-800 camera dries up because the vacationer just doesn't see a need for such an item. The market for the $2000-3000 camera will always be there because those are professionals, serious hobbyists, etc. They're not going to be able to do what they need to do with a tiny sensor until someone changes the laws of physics.
I was shooting some art photos for a coworker of mine last night and she said this: "I could buy a nice camera and use it but what I can do with it is worse than what I can do with my phone." We weren't discussing cameras or anything but I think that comment is insightful: she doesn't feel a fancy camera helps her because she can't work it well. That's probably the situation for a lot of people.
