CIPA data for the whole year 2023: Mirrorless makes +10,9%
Finally we got the detailed CIPA camera and lens shipment data for the whole year 2023. It contains a lot of interesting data:
- Shipment of cameras (fixed and interchangeable) did drop by 3,6% in terms of numbers and increased by 4.9% in terms of value.
- Shipment of mirrorless cameras increased by 18,6% in terms of numbers and increased by 10,9% in terms of value.
- Shipment of DSLR cameras did drop by 36% in terms of numbers and increased by 28,9% in terms of value.
- Shipment of fixed lens cameras did drop by 17,4% in terms of numbers and increased by 8,9% in terms of value.
- Shipment of interchangeable lenses did drop by 0,9% in terms of numbers and increased by 6,7% in terms of value.
What does this tell us? The decade long decline stopped. In terms of value both mirrorless and lens sames increased quite a bit. So overall we can look forward to a 2024 that should have a similar pace like 2023 had. And this is good as manufacturer now don’t have to fear the market will shrink further.

OM Digital announced the new OM-1II camera and 150-600mm and 9-18mm lens
Preorders:
OM-1II at Amazon US&CA&EU, BHphoto, Adorama, Om Digital,
FotoErhardt, WexUK. OM Germany, OM UK, OM, Italy, OM France.
150-600mm at Amazon US&CA&EU, BHphoto, Adorama, Om Digital,
FotoErhardt, WexUK. OM Germany, OM UK, OM, Italy, OM France.
9-18mm at Amazon US&CA&EU, BHphoto, Adorama, Om Digital,
FotoErhardt, WexUK. OM Germany, OM UK, OM, Italy, OM France.
So this is a very underwhelming announcement from OM Digital:
The OM-1II is an OM-1 with software update
The 150-600mm lens is a Sigma clone with an extra $1,000 on top
The 9-18mm II is the old lens with new OM branding
If that is the philosophy of the new company we can only hope Panasonic keeps being serious about MFT like they luckily showed us with the new G9II.
