Camera or mobile phone?

Netizens have noisy

Nowadays, as mobile phone camera function is becoming more and more powerful, many people think that taking pictures of mobile phones is already very sufficient to daily life, and it is also the trend of the era.

However, some people think that "no matter how good the mobile phone is, the quality of the SLR is not able to withstand the test." "Stopping the development of the SLR is because the relationship is not so much, and the relationship with the mobile phone is not so great." ","

Nikon response: The message is only guessed

However, Nikon Japan subsequently responded on its official website that some media reported that Nikon had withdrawn from the development of the SLR camera to guess, not the official release of Nikon. Nikon will continue to produce, sell and support digital SLR cameras, and also hopes that customers can continue to use it with peace of mind.

However, the news of Nikon's production of SLR camera before was endless. According to a previous report from Japan, Nikon, a Japanese camera giant, will end the production of the digital SLR camera in Japan in 2021. As a part of structural reform, Nikon will transfer the production of the only Gongcheng County factory in Japan to produce the production of camera fuselage to the main factory of Thailand. There are currently only Canon, Sony, Nikon and other brands in the camera market.

It is reported that in recent years, with the performance of smartphone cameras, the digital camera market has shrunk sharply. Earlier, a group of camera giants of Kodak and Olympus announced the withdrawal from the camera market.

It is understood that Nikon was founded in 1917. As a "century -old enterprise", it has always been a representative company of "made in Japan". Relying on his technical experience in the field of optics, Nikon began producing cameras in 1948. He once monopolized the global high -end camera market with Canon and Zeiss. On October 30, 2017, Nikon China officially announced that the company will stop the business activities of Nikon Optical Instrument (China) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Wuxi City. At the same time, factories responsible for producing Nikon digital cameras and digital camera accessories will also be discontinued.

SLR OR?

What is the difference between SLR camera and anti -illegal camera? This problem makes it difficult for Fund Jun who does not understand digital products. Public information shows that the anti -light camera is the anti -light board camera, also known as the semi -lens camera, commonly known as "micro -single". The difference between anti -anti -camera and SLR camera is whether there is a reflector.

The biggest feature of the SLR camera is to separate the light entering the light into the lights inside the fuselage. The light is transmitted to the camera sensor of the recorded object and the viewfinder watching by the photographer, and is also transmitted to the AF (autofocus) phase differential sensor. Because the phase difference can focus at high -speed shooting objects, SLR cameras are faster than ordinary cameras, and they will not miss the moment when they want to shoot.

However, the SLR light mirror requires a certain amount of space, which is also the biggest reason for hindering the miniaturization of the SLR camera. Therefore, it is hoped to overcome the "big and heavy" shortcoming of the SLR camera by removing the reflector.

SLR camera global shipment volume fell cliff -like decline

Recently released relevant data show that the shipments of digital SLR cameras have fallen in May. Recently, the Japanese Camera and Image Products Association CIPA announced that the global digital camera shipment data in May 2022 showed that the sales of digital cameras were only 637,000 units, a decrease of 10%year -on -year, and declined for 10 consecutive months.

It is predicted that the shipping and anti -anti -camera shipments will reach 5.29 million units in 2022, and anti -cameras now account for 83.5%of the amount of shipping camera shipments. The number of sales desks for anti -counter -camera is about 1.4 times that of SLR, and the amount of inductance is about 3.4 times the amount of indulgence. On the whole, the unit price of the non -counter -camera is much higher.
