The camera market is a period of slowdown, according to Japan-based industry-watcher CIPA – which collates official data direct from a host of major retailers, so knows its stuff.
Yet I find it interesting that the two categories bucking the downward trend are, firstly, interchangeable lens cameras with sensors smaller than full frame – which we can interpret as being APS-C and Micro Four Thirds cameras – and, secondly, fixed lens compact cameras.
