Quoted message:

Shipments of mirrorless single-lens cameras are breaking records, with sales up 20% in the first half of 2023. The surge is apparently driven by several factors, including the revival of Chinese outbound tourism and general expansion of tourism after the global pandemic, new AI-powered models, and a focus on making cameras more user-friendly.

Nikkei Asia reports that according to Japan’s Camera & Imaging Products Association, the largest shipment increase was seen in China, where they were up 44%. Japan and Europe also saw strong growth, with shipments up 30% and 9%, respectively.

There is only one small problem…. When compared with 2021, YTD ILC sales are down….. by a lot. We’ll see what the rest of 2023 looks like.

And fixed lens cameras are faring even worse. (Click link in article)

Edit, looks like you added the petapixel article link. Sorry for the redundancy.
