Nikon Sales Drop

[Mt Spokane Photography]

With the introduction of mirrorless cameras, Nikon, like Canon suffered a big drop in sales due to buyers waiting to see the mirrorless models before deciding. This sounds a lot like Canon. Add to the slow sales, the huge cost of getting a totally new system in production and into inventory, its a big hit.

Their profit didn't slip too much though, which is surprising. Thanks for sharing that graphic.

They had a big increase in sales of high end lithography systems for large panels which really helped, it increased 23.6.

I agree with the statement that the majority of photographers are holding back right now, waiting to see where the companies are going with mirrorless and what the future will bring. I know I won't be making any major purchases until I see where mirrorless is taking us.
