The situation on the market of digital cameras will never become boring or uninteresting.
Buyers take on it is not quantity, so the quality: if we delighted in December sales, in January, surprising tenacity with which the Koreans are buying the same camera.
Such stability in the market of digital photos we have not seen for a long time.
I do not want
Buy something serious in January may be just the most extraordinary people.
First, after the holidays do not want to run the shops.
Secondly, after the purchase of gifts and fireworks on something else the money actually remains.
But the shops are open, and hence are single buyers are able to buy even such a complex and expensive equipment, like a digital camera.
But something happened with our customers.
Earlier, their views about the ideal camera changed every month, you can now safely say that the views of amateur unsettled.
The higher price category, the more constant pattern.
Stability?
When people talk about the good life, as a rule, mention such a thing as stability.
That it is an indicator of success and quality of life.
So there is good stability, as it is painted, as yet not known, but already you can just say that it is in such condition is the market’s most expensive cameras.
No models have left the rating and none added.
Such is the picture in the class of cells the higher price category.
Sanon EOS 300D – here it is, the best camera in its class
Of course, we can safely say that buyers have found “their” camera, in some measure common to their class.
List of leaders has not changed, only decreased sales.
“The market semi-professional camera stable and predictable”, – says Anatoly Polyakov, manager of marketing and advertising of the computer center “image.
Intrigue, in the situation settled, most likely, will later this month novelty from the company Canon.
Introduced its new EOS 350D Digital camera with 8.0 million
pixels and the speed continuous shooting of 3 frames per second, the company is ready to seize yet another line of the table of best-selling expensive cameras.
This new product completes the modernization of the entire range of digital cameras EOS, and although it has improved compared to the EOS 300D features, for a long time will greatly exceed it in value.
And to win consumers’ preferences in this segment is extremely difficult.
Sales of the next few months will show whether the company to make a new breakthrough.
Only the best
In the category of lower class has no such stability: a few cells were replaced by other devices.
And to say that the choice of buyers is a better place can not.
Even, on the contrary: in every sense of the remarkable devices CASIO EXILIM PRO P-600 EX and Olympus CAMEDIA C-5060, left our rating.
Replace them two devices simpler: Canon PowerShot S60 and Minolta Z3.
In the case of the first camera can be assumed that the buyers have decided to get a model, given good shots, but do not require a lot of attention.
Simple design, easy control … It seems that the Canon PowerShot S60 created only in order to make high-quality pictures without any worries.
“Good solution for a reasonable price, it would be strange to expect from Canon for something else” – explains analyst trading network “White Wind – your digital store” Tokarenko Sergey
Minolta DiMAGE Z3 – novelty hit among middle segment
About the second camera Minolta Z3 can say that this machine for those who like macro photography and stylish design.
Judge for yourself: In Super Macro mode allows the camera to shoot objects at a distance of 1 cm from the lens and the shape of cells Minolta Z series recognizable from a distance, its rounded shape will not be left unattended.
No surprises can not do
In the category of “good camera for small money” there have been more meaningful and more interesting changes.
The most extraordinary event here can recognize that the camera that has been in our ranking in the category of cheap devices … more expensive.
Against the general trend cheaper technology it seems, at least, strange.
It is a Sony DSC-P41.
Of course, this compact and stylish device allows you to “squeeze out” of the cost of the purchase amount with a maximum capacity, but the price increase is not a traditional way to attract buyers.
However, this is what worked in this case, the camera will remain sold.
Another interesting fact: in January, buyers preferred to return to his favorite the October Casio EX-Z40, leaving behind the stern of our ranking senior staff Z50.
Perhaps the amateurs decided that the younger models and opportunities will be sufficient to capture and therefore did not want to pay more.
In the list there is another model: Sony DSC-P100.
Outwardly, this camera resembles Sony DSC-P41: rounded close to the lens body and compact size.
“Pyatimegapikselnaya matrix, 3x optical zoom, high speed switching on and work, and three variants of colors – that’s all you need is unpretentious amateur photographer”, – says Tatiana Moskalev, Head of Public Relations Group DIXIS.
Sony P41 – all cheaper, but it is expensive
But no luck this month Camera Nikon 5200 and Sony DSC-W1.
Decent camera somehow did not like the January buyers.
Maybe, design, and can price-quality ratio.
Well, the choice one way or another, for them.
Little my
Snug thing small size and low cost always want to call in caressively-diminutive terms.
The same words come to mind when you look at “superlyubitelskie” devices presented in the lowest price category.
What pleases, so this improvement models in our ranking: weak camera apparatus giving way stronger even in the cheap category.
Not the best brands and models are replaced with better quality, albeit more expensive.
For example, left our camera chart Praktica DC Slim 2.
Camera Genius G-Shot G511 gave way to his “little sister» D610 (this camera back their positions, because she kept on the charts two months).
Returned and another model: Minolta DiMAGE X31.
Minolta DiMAGE X31 – zoom lens camera hidden inside the
As we already mentioned, the apparatus Sony P41 has risen in price and moved to the group leaders midrange.
Replaced him in our ranking come apparatus Olympus C-160.
This trehmegapikselny apparatus with very useful features, but with a light control – understand it will be easy even a child.
