2024 Camera Sales: A Sixth of 2014!

As the camera market continues to shrink, manufacturers are focusing on increasing the added value of their products or announcing a different category of product to reach a new consumer base and increase sales. According to CIPA, camera shipments in 2024 are expected to be about one-sixth of the levels in 2014. That means the camera market has crashed and if these camera makers are not able to crack up the market in the next ten years, the scene will be entirely different.

CIPA expects total digital camera shipments in 2024 to be 7.41 million units, down 4% from the previous year. That not good in terms of numbers. Although sales of interchangeable lens cameras are expected to decline by 1.8% to 5.89 million units, sales of cameras with integrated lenses are expected to decline by 11.6% to 1.52 million units. Camera manufacturers are working to create

Amid a shrinking market, camera manufacturers are focusing on enhancing the added value of their products.

Fujifilm released a new product, Instax Pal, in the instant camera Instax series in October 2023. Sales of the Instax Pal are 30% higher than planned, and Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer Masato Yamamoto says of the response, We’re getting feedback that it’s cute.

Although Fuji always keeps innovating at its maximum strength, past year they announced the X-H series cameras and this year X-100 VI which has been on top of the US sales chart for the past few weeks.

Sony is developing a retinal projection camera kit jointly with QD Laser. By attaching a retinal projection viewfinder to the DSC-HX99, even people with visual impairments can enjoy taking photos. It incorporates technology that projects the scenery captured by the camera directly onto the retina. Hiroyoshi Miyauchi, General Manager of QD Laser’s Business Promotion Office, expressed his enthusiasm, saying that users are happy with the product. We want to make it compatible with mirrorless cameras.

Another big advantage associated with Sony is they know what the market needs at the moment, their ZV-E10 camera sales were approx 50% of the entire Alpha series camera sales past year. based on that they are planning to expand more ZV-E Series cameras this year.

Canon is taking on the challenge of increasing added value in video production. They have developed a prototype of a small camera that can shoot VR images. Equipped with two lenses, one lens can be rotated to the back of the product to take 360-degree shots. The release date and product name will be finalized in the future. The company is currently developing interchangeable lenses for VR video shooting that can be attached to mirrorless cameras equipped with full-frame sensors. In the future, it will also be compatible with cameras equipped with APS-C sensors and will capture the demand for VR video production from a wide range of customers.

Canon Mirrorless Camera leading the market, canon R5 was announced back in 2020, but still top in the sales chart if you can check it here.

Nikon made an interesting move to acquire Cinema giant RED, this move will boost Nikon’s trust among its users and will increase its PRO consumer base rapidly. We are expecting some out-of-the-box cinema products from Nikon in the upcoming years.

Panasonic 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO OIS does not have outstanding optical performance

Recently announced Panasonic 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO OIS [B&H Store] does not have outstanding optical performance. Take a look at what Petapixel said about this lens

The new Panasonic 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OISsuper zoom is clearly designed to be a jack-of-all-trades that doesn’t really excel in any optical categories. It’s also fairly slow, which limits its usefulness in darker situations.

petapixel

Take a look at the Major Points of the Review

  • Weighing only 413g, this lens is extremely lightweight, yet it maintains an easy-to-handle 67mm filter diameter. The downside of its compact size is that the aperture value is relatively dark at F4-7.1, which can pose a problem when shooting in low-light conditions.
  • The lens barrel is small, resulting in simple controls that are well-crafted. The zoom ring has a suitable weight, preventing the lens from extending when you carry it around.
  • The image stabilization is highly effective, allowing handheld shooting at 200mm even with a slow shutter speed. The balance of the lens is also commendable.
  • The autofocus (AF) performs well, swiftly focusing from long to short distances.
  • There is a ghosting issue when shooting against the light, with colored speckled ghosts appearing at any aperture value. While this effect might look interesting for video, it’s quite noticeable and often undesirable for most still shots.
  • The lens flares are dim and lack drama. Overall, this lens does not perform well when shooting into the sun, so it’s advisable to avoid shooting directly into the sun or other bright light sources if possible.
  • The close-up performance is excellent, allowing 1:2 shooting at the wide-angle end. However, the working distance at this point is so short that you could almost touch the subject. If you prefer to maintain a working distance, 200mm provides sufficient magnification for close-up photography.
  • The resolution is decent, with good center detail at 28mm. However, it improves significantly if you stop down, so it’s recommended to do so whenever possible. The 200mm end yields similar results to the 28mm, but the edges are even softer. Due to strong distortion correction, the corners are soft regardless of the aperture.
  • Despite being a dark lens, it can blur the background at close range. There is some vignetting in the bokeh, but there is no onion ring blur. However, there is pronounced bubble bokeh, which makes the background blur quite busy.
  • Focus breathing is almost non-existent at 200mm, and very slight at 28mm.
  • The 28-200mm F4-7.1 is designed as an all-purpose zoom and does not excel in any particular category. Also, due to the large F value, there are limitations when using it in low-light conditions. However, it meets its portability and convenience goals, making it very appealing. It’s also a handy video lens and a macro lens, and these two features make it a sensible choice for those seeking a versatile lens for the L mount. In this respect, I believe this lens is useful despite its shortcomings.
  • Should you buy this lens? Perhaps. The 28-200mm F4-7.1 may be a good option if you prioritize convenience over performance.
