It would not be surprising if Canon's camera division is also unprofitable, but cameras are a small part of Canon's business. Compact point and shoot camera sales have dwindled due to smart phones. The Fuji mirrorless cameras are now the choice of professionals. I teased a professional photographer I know about him selling off all his Nikon equipment, and he said that the shift to Fuji by professionals has been amazing. There was already Fuji-Xerox in Asia, they're just taking over all of Xerox. |

In terms of camera system used, DSLR cameras were behind 88.8% of the winners, mirrorless cameras had 5.55%, and other types represented another 5.55%. last year: https://petapixel.com/2016/02/19/her...t-won-world-pr ess-photo-2016/ DSLRs continue to reign supreme when it comes to photojournalism. At least 40 of the winning shots were captured using full frame DSLRs ‹ mirrorless, compact, and action cameras accounted for one winning photo each. |

"Canon and Nikon have both dabbled in mirrorless cameras in recent years but have failed to create products that are competitive against the offerings of companies like Sony and Fujifilm." Unfortunately for Canon and Nikon, this is an industry where it can be fatal to be late because few people switch systems once they begin acquiring lenses and other accessories. The Fuji-X series has now become the de-facto mirrorless standard for professionals. Nikon recently announced their new Z mount at CES, but there won't be much leverage there because existing F mount lenses can't be used without some kind of clunky adapter which professionals hate. The Nikon 1 mirrorless system has not taken off. No one thought mirroless would displace SLRs so quickly but the size and weight advantages proved irresistible for a) non-studio photography (where size and weight don't matter) and b) sports, and wildlife photography where continuous auto-focus performance is better with the SLR, and an optical viewfinder is preferred. But for other professional use, like weddings, the size and weight advantages of mirrorless systems are overwhelming. |

Nikon is very late to mirrorless, which is where all the growth in high-value digital cameras is occurring. Nikon's dithering has been almost as myopic as Kodak thinking digital cameras were a far-off possibility, in 1989. Or Xerox deciding not to develop ink-jet printers. I worked for Xerox back then, in their printer division that made impact printers. |
