New Q2 financial reports released: Bad news for Canon and Fuji
Both Canon (PDF here) and Fuji (PDF here) released their Q2 financial report. Both companies had declining sales and earnings caused by different factors like compact camera sales drop, YEN appreciation. And both companies forecast now expect a further increase in sales and revenue. The one good news for Fuji is that they had strong X-T2 sales.
