Canon closes Zhuhai factory! If you are not a professional or photography enthusiast, would you buy a camera now? [Copy link]

Due to the sharp downturn in the camera market in recent years and the impact of the epidemic, Canon closed its Zhuhai factory, which was established 32 years ago.

If you were not a professional or a photography enthusiast, would you buy a camera now?

According to the data, Canon Zhuhai Co., Ltd. was established in 1990. Its production and business scope ranges from the initial lenses and cameras to later printers, fax machines, scanners, CIS (contact image sensors), etc. At present, the products mainly include lenses, digital cameras, digital video cameras, etc. Its camera products have won a high reputation in the industry for their superior performance and perfect feel. Due to the continuous improvement of mobile phone shooting performance, the living space of some entry-level consumer cameras has become increasingly narrow, and the sudden epidemic has hit the camera industry hard. According to data from CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association), the shrinkage of the global digital camera market has further intensified. According to industry insiders, if combined with the rising prices of sensors caused by chip shortages, the situation in 2022 will be even worse.

Mobile phones can be used as cameras.

The pixel of the mobile phone is so high, but the shooting feeling is still not as good as the camera, because I have a steelyard in my heart

I bought a camera many years ago, but I rarely use it, and now I know even less about it.

I bought a compact camera before, but I always felt it was inconvenient. It was fine for taking pictures, but it was inconvenient to copy or transfer, so I stopped using it. I think this is why cameras are gradually being phased out.

Now the compact camera market is completely occupied by mobile phones, but there is still a market for dedicated cameras.

I will buy a camera. Cameras can do many things that mobile phones cannot do.
