Posted by Chris Gohlke in "ARTICLE" @ 07:00 PM
"The North American digital camera market hit another high point in terms of unit shipments for 2004, growing 27% over 2003 to reach 22.2 million cameras shipped. The market is expected to grow once again to reach 26 million cameras in 2005, but at a slower pace of 16%. The market will peak in 2006 when it reaches just under 28 million cameras, and will begin to decline thereafter."
Digital camera are headed into mature market territory. Manufacturers are going to have to come up with attractive new features to go after the repeat market business. DSLR's are picking up sales as a result as well as consumers upgrade or buy second cameras.
