2023 Global Market Share and Sales Volume of Digital / Video Cameras

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 4, 2024


DC.Life posted the Nikkei Industry Map 2025 Edition data on digital video and video camera sales for 2023. Canon is still on top followed by Sony and Nikon with Fujifilm coming in 4th. Interestingly, Fujifilm sells half as many as Nikon and Panasonic half as many as Fujifilm, with Fujifilm having a much tighter lineup of cameras.

  1. Canon: 3.34 million units (46.5%)
  2. Sony: 2 million units (27.9%)
  3. Nikon: 810,000 units (11.3%)
  4. Fujifilm: 430,000 units (6.0%)
  5. Panasonic: 260,000 units (3.6%)
  6. OM Digital: 180,000 units (2.5%)
  7. Ricoh Imaging: 60,000 units (0.8%)

Canon and Sony are unlikely to be overtaken, but Nikon and Fujifilm have room to grow and Fujifilm might even be able to overtake Nikon if it produced a popular video camera model and straightened out its supply chain issues. At least the ever-shrinking camera market seems to be slowing its decline.

overview

  • [Publication number] P2024117881
  • [Release date] 2024-08-30
  • [Name of invention] Zoom lens, and imaging device and imaging system having the same
  • [Application date] 2023-02-20
  • [Applicant]
    [Identification number] 000001007
    [Name or company name] Canon Inc.
  • A positive-lead zoom lens system is provided that has high optical performance over the entire zoom range while being compact in size.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
    In recent years, imaging optical systems used in imaging devices are desirably compact zoom lenses that have high optical performance over the entire zoom range.
  • [0003]
    Conventionally, there have been proposed positive-lead type zoom lenses in which a lens group with positive refractive power is disposed closest to the object side. Patent Document 1 discloses a positive-lead type telephoto zoom lens that is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group with positive refractive power, a second lens group with negative refractive power, and a subsequent group including a plurality of lens groups.
  • [0005]
    However, in a positive-lead zoom lens, if the refractive power of the lens group with positive refractive power located closest to the object side is increased in order to reduce the size of the entire system, various aberrations such as spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, etc. In order to reduce these various aberrations, it is important to appropriately set the refractive power of each lens group and the lenses contained in each lens group.
  • The present
    invention provides a positive lead type zoom lens having a small overall system size and high optical performance over the entire zoom range.
