Kodak is #1 in Japan

[Canon Rumors Guy]

No, that’s not a typo. Kodak has just dethroned Canon has the #1 manufacturer of digital cameras because of their wildly successul compact digital cameras, capturing 22.5% of the entire market. This data was supplied by BCN which means it is for the Japan market only, but there is something odd going on with the

This is interesting because phones replacing compact cameras in why the industry fell so much in the first place.

I can understand about wanting some noise / grain. Of course, we can choose to create it naturally on a DSLR or Mirrorless in several ways, but for the average phone user, the default camera will be clean-looking with saturated HDR. Some of us like it, but some of us feel it's like how audiophiles feel about early digital audio production. Is anyone right or wrong in either situation? NO!

Digital Lomography But if it can lead some more people to discover there's a whole world beyond phones, the better.

Very interesting!

Some Canon model ate out of stock.
I think Kodak really have chance to be no.1 in 2024

I wonder if the mighty Kodak will capitalize on this and make a comeback... I wish they do. "Kodak moment"...

I recently put a new clock battery in my old Canon SX100IS, It's interesting seeing the low video and sound quality.

That would really be wonderful!

Ricoh is also winning with the GR because of Fuji's collossal mistake. It'll be interesting once those numbers come in.

That would really be wonderful!

But this is not expexted. The phones has win this challenge. I don't know anybody who buy a compact cam this time. They uses their smartphone cam in this case.If a more capable cam is reqired or wished by a customer, they look into the portfolio of OMD, Pana or Sony. Nikon and Canon are to expensive.

That’s why anecdotes aren’t data. The data show a resurgence in the popularity of fixed-lens compact cameras, AKA point-and-shoots.

The time comes and goes..i know a couple of guys who love to play music of an analog vinyl record. I don't....but the player is looking great.

Canon has by far the cheapest interchangeable lens cameras on the market.
Everyone else seems to have given up on bringing new customers into the market.
Canon is also doing a lot of experimentation with the Powershot line.
The Powershot Golf was the latest camera.
Also, the IXY is #8 and #9 on the list.

What was Fuji’s mistake ? I thought the X100 series was quite popular. (Sorry if I’ve missed something obvious but I’ve been asleep at the back).

Not making enough to satisfy the demand by a HUGE margin. And then giving an interview saying “we like it like that”.

I hope that you don't believe in that...
Canon is one of the most expensive systems in the market of fullframe mirrorless systems since the R System. Compare them with a Sony A7Rx Body. This is a lot of cheaper and the e-mount offers a wiede range of lenses, you can choose.
I think that Sony has the advantage that they develop and produce the sensors for third-parties an have a long time experiences with that. Canon don't offer new technologies - they jump on a running train. How long canon has passed the train of FF-DSLM, BSI Sensor, Stacked Sensor, IBIS - my first DSLM was a Canon R and this does nut supports IBIS. IT's just a few years ago. Sony does this quite earlier.
I am an owner of an R5, R, 5DM4, 5Ds and 80D. I know i am talking about. The next system will not be a canon. A cheap L lense cost more then €2000.- (expect the RF100mm F/2.8 Macro). I am use a Sigma 105mm f/2,8 Macro and this lense cost me less that €200.- and the RF 100L is not better.
Compare the price of an EF15-35 L f/2.8 III with the RF14-35L f/2.8. They are has the same picture quality but the RF is quite more expensive and i donÄt see the advantage of the more you need to pay.
Canon is expensive and this will not changed until they open the market for sigma and others to support the RF mount and protocol. I don't expect this in my lifetime and i hope i have more than 20 years left...

Your reading skills are almost as good as your trolling skills. Where did @EOS 4 Life say full frame? What other brand is price competitive with the Canon R100, R50 and DSLRs?

But you want to move the goalposts like a typical troll? Fine. Please list the Sony FF kit I can buy for $2200 that includes a new current camera (i.e., sold directly by Sony) and lenses covering 15mm to 400mm, like I can do with Canon (RP, RF 15-30, RF 24-105 non-L, RF 100-400). Good luck…I’ve posed this question over a dozen times and no one has managed an answer yet.

Incidentally, the typical response would be another goalpost move. You only meant FF cameras with >30 MP, you only meant constant f/4 zooms, you only meant cheaper in Deutschmarks, whatever. I know you know what I mean.

Yeah, there are things that Canon can do better (I wish Canon has some mid-level telephoto primes between the 100-500/200-800 and the big superteles, and some wide fast glass like the 14/1.4 and 15/1.4), but low-cost and volume sellers are their bread and butter.
