December 31, 2020 As 2020 comes to a close – good riddance, many will say – we look back on the main stories of this challenging year. A tough 12 months, but signs of hope This time last year we reported how Canon, Nikon and other big makers were facing tough times owing to the DSLR market contraction, the US/China trade spat and the economic slowdown in Europe and China. In comparison to the pandemic, these challenges seem relatively manageable. We’ll be looking in more detail how Covid-19 has affected specific camera and lens makers on page 10, but here are some sobering figures from the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) in Japan. From January to September 2020, 1.56 million DSLR units were shipped, down 54% year on year. As for mirrorless, 1.81 million units have been shipped so far this year, which is down 34% (unit sales of compacts dropped 51%). Meanwhile, unit sales of lenses wider than 35mm fell 45%, and 34% for lenses at or longer than 35mm.
