New CIPA camera shipment reports: Sales still lame :(

CIPA released the latest August camera shipment report. And while shipments where higher than 2016 they are still much lower than 2015. Remember that in 2016 we had the huge Kumamoto earthquake that did put on hold the Sony sensor production facility. If you consider this it’s disappointing to see that camera shipments are only slightly better this year and still so far a way from a “normal” year like 2015.

I see nearly zero chance for the camera industry to ever reach 2015 level again. The mass simply doesn’t need cameras anymore.
