About the color accent option: it seems to be a current fad that teenagers are all excited about.
The camera keeps one color and turns everything else black and white.

I would never use such a feature for the following reasons:

• You are very limited in what you can do.
• The function isn’t always reliable or accurate. The camera’s idea of “red” might be different to yours. It will often include/exclude areas that you don’t want to have included/excluded.
• Imagine if you just happened to take your best photo ever, but instead of having a real color photo, you only have some partial b&w thing that might look totally awful. You’d kick yourself.
• If you do the “Selective or Partial Desaturation” (as it is called correctly) in post processing, you have much more control over it, and will get a way better result. Plus you can keep your original color version, too.

This also applies to any color effects done in camera like b&w or sepia – you’re better off NOT to.

If you don’t have your own image editor, you can go to www.picnik.com and use their effects menu which makes it very easy.

I am looking for the total sales of Canon/Nikon digital cameras each year for the past 3 yrs. Thank you..

Answer by Stephen M
I think Canon and Nikon are both publicly traded companies. You should be able to drill through their financial results to find the numbers you’re looking for.

According to IDC the top 3 by US Sales are Kodak (2.15 M cameras), Canon ( 2M) and Sony (1.78M). The rest are about 10% behind. Canon could move to #1 spot this year.

Global numbers are:

Canon – 12.63 M cameras
Sony – 12.32 M
Kodak – 8.71 M

Canon should continue to dominate as the new growth is spurred by SLR’s at the expense of Sony’s covetted Pro-sumer market.

Nikon doesn’t seem to be a player anymore.

Quoted from PTN magazine pg 24

“The Japan report – What’s happening in the japanese imaging market – written by Machiko Ouchi”

“For Fiscal year 2005/2006 which ended March 2006 (December for Canon)”

“Canon has reported all time high profits on record revenue of 3,754 billion Yen. Camera buisiness division posted a 15.2% rise in sales. Digital Camera sales rose 20% with 16.9 million units including 1.9 million DSLR units with a revised output projection of 20 million units including 2.4 million units in DSLR due to demand for replacement/add-ons are stronger then expected

Nikon’s buisisness more than doubled for operating profit and revenue alike over previous fical term, 34.4 billion yen on sales of 416 billion yen

Konica Minolta ceased production transfering DSLR buisiness to SOny and the domestic business of the photo products was transfered to Dai Nippon Printing Co.

Olympus’s imaging products returned to profits in operation of 4.79 yen on sales of 254.7 billion yen and sold some 8.4 million units of digicams including 250,000 DSLR’s

Pentax’s Camera division sales took 48.7% of total sales of 142.2 billion yen yet posted an operating loss of 1.2 billion yen. However the company’s performance is getting better narrowing the loss to half of fiscal 2004 and it projects a turnaround to black to 1 billion profit for the camera busisness in Fiscal 2006

Fujifilm suffered profit decline of 57% to 70.4 billion yen on sales of 2,667 billion yen due mostly to restrucuring the ailing photographic film and minilab divisions. the imaging busisness posted a 7.2% sales decline and 1.7 billion yen operational profit was written off for restructering expenses, resulting in a final loss of 75.7 billion yen.”
