Of course, the review says sales are stagnating, but I can't see how more unit volume is "stagnating". It's not sales that have a problem, it's sales revenues.

many Japanese analysts are expecting all but Canon to lose money on their digital camera divisions this coming fiscal quarter. Canon's division will make money, but less than last quarter. the big consolidation is about to really get underway. Sanyo, who makes many cameras for other vendors, is also expected to lose money too. shipments in Japan are down about 18% compared to the same time last year, and sales everywhere else is slowing down too, although not actually decreasing yet.

Subject: OT: Digital camera sales in the USA
Found this in email today. Somebody said there is nothing so devistating to an opinion as a fact. With 900,000 shipped and a 20% market share, I make it 4,500,000 digital P&S cameras for the USA in the 1st quarter. Wow.
