The niche of compact digital cameras is emptying in the global market
First Sony and Fujifilm. Then Casio. Now Nikon. Manufacturers of digital cameras are completely abandoning the release of compact versions. The reason is simple - lack of demand. This is understandable, who in the era of smartphones wants to throw money away on inferior goods. Only producers miss one moment - this inferiority is created by them.
Why is the demand for compact cameras falling?
The problem is not in the quality of the shooting. Any camera has a larger matrix and better optics. Than the coolest smartphone. But there are certain problems with communications. To upload a photo to a social network, you need to carry out a lot of manipulations. Especially with cameras lacking a wireless interface.
Plus, compact cameras, for the most part, do not have built-in filters and are very difficult to manage. Which leads to the refusal of the buyer to spend money and time on working with photographic equipment. Manufacturers switched to producing more expensive digital cameras. Those whose price starts at $1000 and goes up. And the segment of compact cameras is empty. But not for long.
What awaits the compact camera market in 2023
Definitely, shop windows will not be empty. The Chinese will certainly calculate the benefits for themselves and make an offer that cannot be refused. There will be a new gadget. Compact. With a good matrix and optics. And affordable. Here it is important to understand which path manufacturers will take:
- The camera is a game console.
- The camera is a smartphone.
- The printer is a camera.
- Navigator - camera.
There are plenty of variations. Emphasis will definitely be placed on the introduction of wireless interfaces and the operating system in a compact device. In general, Japanese corporations should have equipped compact cameras with Android earlier. This would immediately solve the problem with transferring photos to social networks. But no one has thought of it before. Or did not want to spend money on implementation. The Chinese will do it. And surprise the whole world.
