basically PnS sales down
but DSLR and lenses are up , nearly 10% of the total digital camera market. almost 2 lenses sold for each DSLR sold.
I found this line interesting.
"exhibiting solid growth in categories with higher added value."
Does this suggest higher end DSLR sell more than lower end? or that people buy lower end DSLR quickly upgrade to high end models?
Nearly every lunch break at work, I go for a walk and end up in camera stores
In the last 3 months, I've seen a lot of people buy Nikon D3000, in some stores staff tell me D3000 are there biggest seller by a long shot.<quote>
While this represents a year-on-year decrease of 11.6% compared to 2008, when shipments
exceeded 119 million units, a breakdown by product-type shows that, although shipments of
digital cameras with built-in lens (i.e. compact digital cameras) reached 96 million units, a
year-on year decrease of 12.8%, shipments of digital SLR cameras with interchangeable lens
(i.e. digital single-lens reflex cameras, including Micro Four Thirds System and
interchangeable unit cameras) reached 9.9 million units, a year-on-year increase of 2.3% and,
additionally, shipments of interchangeable lens for SLR cameras reached 16.1 million units, a
year-on-year increase of 2.8%, exhibiting solid growth in categories with higher added value.
