I predict LOMO or Holga (Dianas are no longer made).

All their sales numbers are not so good and it really s***ks to be number five, six, and seven in a very competitive world market. Companies that will be standing include Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and NIkon(maybe). There will be a huge confluence of photography with phones and MP3 players for the masses. If you can't be in those markets then you will be out.
