Good and Bad news from the April CIPA report: System camera sales increasing and overall camera sales decreasing

CIPA released the April shipment reports. As expected the overall camera shipments numbers are down compared to last year. The good news is that the system camera shipment numbers where higher than in 2017 and 2016. And this is mainly due the increased sales of mirrorless system cameras: +24% in terms of numbers compared to the same month last year. +40% in terms of mirrorless camera value.

Finally a glimpse of hope?
