Canon thinks that the camera market will shrink another 50% over the next 2
years, which is changing some strategies at Canon on how to deal with the
change in the marketplace.


Canon's camera sales have declined 10% a year over the last few years.
The global market for interchangeable lens cameras is about 10 million units
a year.
Mirrorless camera sales are not adding to the market, they're merely
replacing DSLR sales. This is likely why Canon and Nikon waited so long to
enter the full frame mirrorless segment. Putting forth the R&D to
cannibalize yourself probably gets the bean counters in a tizzy.
Canon will shift its business to more corporate sales than consumer retail
sales
Canon obviously recognizes what Smartphones have done to the sales of entry-
level cameras, but Canon thinks they'll continue to sell 5-6 million
prosumer and professional cameras once we've reached the bottom of the
decline.
Canon will focus more on industrial, surveillance and medical imaging.
