CIPA released the January report based on Japanese camera manufacturers shipments. And again there is a small good news to report. In January we got a 5% increase of camera shipments over the previous year.
Our reader Mistral (Thanks!) also noticed this:
– mirrorless cameras: +48.3 in number of units sold and +47.4% in turnover (shipments)
– DSLRs: -11.1% in number of units sold and +6.5% in turnover.
– This is also the first month ever during which shipments of mirrorless cameras to Japan were higher than those of DSLRs.
