2013 mirrorless sales in UK dropped by 32%!

Amateur Photographer reports that mirrorless system camera sales dropped by 32% while DSLR sales dropped by 11% in 2013.

Lens sales for mirrorless system cameras fell by 16% and for DSLR -22,8%.

Compact camera sales fell 34%.

Overall mirrorless and DSLR camera sales peaked worldwide in 2012 and the market is now shrinking. Mirrorless is doing a bit worse than DSLR but we have to see in 2014 if more “mature” mirrorless products like the Olympus OMD, Fuji X-T1, Panasonic GH4 and Sony A7 series will make a positive difference.
