Latest reports coming from CIPA shows a slight spike in the demand of interchangeable lens camera. And that’s a good news at least the camera industry isn’t falling down more and more every year.
In the year of 2016 the total no. of Compact camera, DSLR and Mirrorless for leading camera manufacture was 60. That’s in year of 2016 we have seen 60 new cameras but the figure dropped radically in 2017 and the total no. of announcement shrinked to 30 [click here to see the chart]. This year we have 7 Months left and till now we have 15 new cameras already and most of them are coming from Mirrorless makers, let’s hope this year we will have more camera announcement compared to 2017.
