Right now Digital cameras are one of the big three electric products in Japan (LCD, and DVD recorders being the other two).

Cellular phones are making big improvements to their cameras and some of the digital camera consumers are starting to think digital cameras are not needed. The technology will only build but it is safe to say that companies like Canon will focus on only improving their Digital cameras.

As the market slows in Japan, companies are headed to China in search of profits, most likely they will easily infiltrate the market.
