Yole Developement predicts Sony sensor domiation to increase the next years.
The upcoming years Sony is highly likely going to increase the “domination” of the sensor market. Pierre Cambou from Yole Development writes:
“Yole forecasts that the CIS industry will reach $10B this year, with Sony remaining the undisputed world leader –mainly at image sensor level, but gaining strong momentum at camera module level too. And what will Sony’s $4B be used for? Probably to increase capacity, enhance R&D efforts, and further widen the gap between its competitors. It may also be used in applications that will generate a firm lead in automotive, and to develop sensing technologies for consumer and automotive applications. With this bold financing move, Sony is leveraging its leading technology position and demonstrating the confidence it has in its products, its technology, and its future.
I am really wondering what this will mean for the photographic industry. Fuji, Nikon and Canon…how will they work or compete against Sony?

Has the digital camera fall been stopped? Signs of recovery!
After years decline the falling digital camera sales trend seems to have stopped for the first time! CIPA reports that sales number in June where almost the same as the sales in June 2014. The data have been nicely summed up by Personal View.
And moreover Sony, Olympus, Fuji and Nikon posted positive sales results in their digital camera business. We have to see the coming months if the trend will be confirmed or not.
What mirrorless camera is the real money maker nowadays? Fuji Instax!
What is selling like hotcakes in the mirrorless camera world? The Fuji X-T1? The Sony A7rII? The Olympus E-M5II? Nope, it’s not a digital camera at all. The Fuji Instax cameras are the big success story of the moment! They are top sellers at Amazon US (ranking here). And the newly released Fuji financial report confirms the tremendous success. And without any real competitor Fuji can sleep nicely on their $$$ pillows…
