According to IDC, the sales of photo cameras progressed by 24% in 2007 to 131 million cameras. The global market is in the hands of several companies:
- Canon: 24.5 millions (18%)
- Sony: 20.9 millions (16%)
- Kodak: 12.6 millions (10%)
- Samsung: 11.7 millions (9%)
- Nikon: 11.4 mililons (8.4%)
- Olympus: 11.3 mililons (8.3%)
For the SLR market (Single Lens Reflex), two companies are overwhelming:
- Canon: 43%
- Nikon: 40%
Canon looses some ground to Nikon, but the margins were going down thanks to added competition.
