In a latest patent we have found that Nikon is working to heat management system inside DSLR cameras, latest generation of camera sensor produce a lot of heat due to continuous 4K video recording. And that’s why probably they are working on new sensor heatsink units to enhance the performance of the upcoming DSLRs camera.
Nikon Patent DSLR with Sensor Heat Sink Unit Patent Details (Translated )
There has been a problem that heat generated by the imaging chip can not be efficiently dissipated from the imaging chip to the outside. There is known a camera module in which a solid-state imaging device is die-bonded to the bottom surface of a ceramic package, and the upper end surface of the ceramic package is bonded to a printed circuit board.
Translated from Japanese language
As the mounting substrate 2110, the same configuration as the mounting substrate 120 and the electronic component mounting substrate 130 or the same configuration as the mounting substrate 1320 can be applied. Similar to the mounting substrate 120 described with reference to FIG. 10 and the mounting substrate 1320 described with reference to FIG. 9 and the like, the mounting substrate 2110 is formed of a solder resist layer 2610 for mounting the imaging chip 100 and a solder resist layer 2610 And at least the wiring layer 2620.
Bad news, Canon net sales are down 18.5%, profit is down 64.05% compared to Q2/2018. Canon 2019 Q2 financial results is even worse than of 2018. I personally think they should rethink on DSLR cannibalization policy they have opted back on 2018. They should give whatever they have to users.
Some quotes from Canon’s presentation:
In Imaging System, we expect sales and profit of interchangeable-lens cameras to decline, due to the continued impact of mainly entry-class DSLR market contraction. However, in the area of mirrorless cameras, where we are focusing our energy, the effects of expanding our lineup will continue to lead to sales growth.
Within the Imaging System Business Unit, although the market of interchangeable lens digital cameras continued to shrink, for mirrorless cameras, unit sales were strong owing to the successive introduction of new models equipped with full-frame sensors after the second half of the previous year, which served to increase the company’s presence in the market. For inkjet printers, although Canon has been working to increase sales by expanding its lineup of refillable ink tank models and through the development of business inkjet MFDs, unit sales decreased overall compared with the same period of the previous year mainly due to the shrinking market. As a result, sales for the business unit decreased by 18.5% to ¥204.7 billion year on year, while income before income taxes decreased by 63.7% year on year to ¥13.4 billion. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥381.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 17.8%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥18.4 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 71.0%.
Looking at interchangeable-lens cameras, in addition to market contraction centered on entry-class DSLRs, in 2018 we launched three new products that led to a high level of sales in the second quarter of last year. As a result, unit sales for the second quarter this year were down 22% to 1.08 million.
Against this backdrop, we successively launched strategic full-frame models into the mirrorless camera market from the second half of last year. The introduction of a high-end model, further heightened our presence in the market and at the same time had a positive impact on overall sales of our mirrorless cameras.
On the other hand, in the full-frame category of the market where price competition is increasing, as a result of prioritizing profitability, unit sales were below our target. However, for interchangeable-lens cameras overall, our unit sales were in line with our plan. As a result, we retained our full-year projection for unit sales. In terms of revenue, we did lower our projection to reflect a change in product mix to our plan. However, in the second half of the year we will stimulate sales through the launch of new lenses.
Specifically, we will enhance our lineup launching 5 new lenses for mirrorless cameras. Through kit sales that leverage our broad range of mirrorless camera lenses and by bundling cameras with accessories like our lens adapter that makes it possible to use our existing rich lens lineup we will promote further expansion of mirrorless camera sales.
In addition, we will further strengthen our efforts to generate user interest in our mirrorless cameras. As a large percentage of high-end models purchases involve the customer actually handling the model and trying it out before buying, in major cities in Japan and other markets, we will create even more touch points for users, proactively expanding opportunities to actually experience our products.
Additionally, for professional photographers, we will foster trust in our products, offering, among others, enhanced support at international sports events.
Through these measures, we will further raise our presence in the market for high-end models, which will also have a rippling effect on more volume oriented cameras and subsequently link this to a further boost in sales.
As for compact cameras, sales were in line with our plan. As such, we maintain our full-year unit sales projection. Through the launch of new products, we will raise the proportion of sales attributable to premium G series models and link this to improved profitability.
