Another CIPA report published
The Japanese Camera Manufacturers Association CIPA, which unites Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sony, and other photographic equipment companies, has published another batch statistics on sales of digital cameras and interchangeable lenses. The corresponding graphs now include data for October of the current year. Judging by the charts, October is still the best month of the current year for the specified market, although it did not even reach last year’s indicators.
