As for DSLRs, the future is ILC cameras. Like the Sony NEX series. It's just a matter of time.
I honestly doubt this will be the case, at least for professional photography. I can see that once the prices on these drop to be a little more in-line with actual DSLR's, the enthusiast consumer will probably choose to take that route over a DSLR, simply because the image quality is generally similar between lower-end DSLRs and higher-end ILCs, so the portability and slightly easier use (more similar to the point-and-shoot camera these people are probably upgrading from) will probably win out.
I actually just a few weeks ago finally upgraded my camera. My old one still took fine pictures, but it had some mechanical issues which made it a bit of a pain to bother using. I was contemplating the ILC vs. DSLR thing, and ultimately decided that I'd rather go with the DSLR. In the price range that I was looking at, the options in the DSLR category were just a little more attractive. Part of what drove this is that I would really only want to look at the latest generation of ILCs, since it's still such a young technology. There are pretty significant changes and advancements coming in for these cameras between generations.
As happy as I've been with my old Canon P&S, I went with a Nikon for my DSLR instead. The D3200 to be precise. I picked the Nikon over the Canon after looking at both of them in a store and playing around with the settings and menus on them. I could find everything that I was looking for more easily on the Nikon than the Canon. I figured it only made sense to choose the one that felt a little more natural for me to navigate, since I wouldn't expect much difference in actual performance between the two.
But I've only had the D3200 for a few weeks now, and I really haven't had an opportunity to really put it to good use yet. So I'd say that I expect it to be my favorite of the two that I've owned once I've used it more.
This isn't to minimize the use I got out of my old camera, though. I will say that I absolutely loved that thing. It was a Canon A530. 5mp resolution, 1.5" lCD screen, no image stabilization at all. But it took some terrific pictures. One thing that I loved was that it took regular AA battteries, rather than having a special rechargeable battery. It just seemed much easier to always be able to have or easily find spare batteries for it without having to worry if they were charged.
But the best feature by far was the 'Manual' mode, which ended up being my go-to mode when using it. Some P&S cameras back then had either an Aperture Priority or Shutter Speed Priority mode, but not many had a full-blown manual mode that let you set both independently. It was fairly limited, though, as the aperture usually would only let you choose between 2 or maybe 3 different options, but at least it was there and it let me learn how to utilize those parameters to get the results that I wanted. And this, ultimately, it was made me really want to get a DSLR.
