[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Following up the recent posts on whether digital is taking over the camera world, is a report on CNet at http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1006-200-2869207.html It says that digital cameras will comprise 13 per cent of worldwide camera sales this year, up from 6 per cent last year. Sales are being driven by entry level models in the U.S., growing by 50 per cent annually. Olympus is number one in digital camera sales followed by Sony, Kodak and Fuji. (Personal observation: With most of the growth in entry level models, I don't see this impacting Leica in the near term. That's not Leica's market.) Larry
