Why does it say digital cameras were introduced in 1999? I remember seeing the first consumer cameras at least a couple of years earlier.
- wlesieutre 10y agoMaybe meant 1989? That's when the Fuji DS-X was on the market. Released in Japan with a high price tag, but it was available. Alternately, the Dycam Model 1 was in the US in 1990, or the Apple QuickTake 100 in 1994. The graph gets less compelling if all you mark is "introduction of digital cameras" in 1989, since those early models didn't have any impact on film camera sales. What this graph really needs is a second line for digital camera unit sales. Data wasn't available?
- FigBug 10y ago1999 seems to be the first year CIPA tracked digital camera sales. Also, I hadn t realized how completely digital camera sales have collapsed. http://petapixel.com/2015/04/09/this-is-what-the-history-of-camera-sales-looks-like-with-smartphones-included/ http://petapixel.com/2015/04/09/this-is-what-the-history-of-...
