  Digital Camera Sales Still Booming

By David Richards | Sunday | 05/08/2007

Digital camera sales are still booming according to research group IDC. In the second quarter ending July shipments were up by 22 percent.

Canon led the field with 26 percent of the market, trailed by Sony at 18 percent and Kodak at 12 percent (dropping 15 percent from the first quarter). Samsung bumped off Nikon to claim the fourth spot with a share of 11 percent.

Repeat buyers spurred the roughly 7.8 million digital cameras shipped during the quarter, IDC said.

Growth during the quarter would lead the research firm to upwardly revise its 2007 camera shipment forecast, IDC said.
Digital camera shipments rose 118 per cent in the first half of 2007, according to a new report from the Japan-based Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA), which represents firms responsible for approximately 80 per cent of global sales.

CIPA reported a total of slightly more than 164 million cameras shipped during the six months from January to June. Growth in shipments of more expensive digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras was particularly strong, reaching 145.5 per cent.
