Big Germany camera sales report: Mirrorless is on raise!
The German Photoindustrie Verband published and incredibly detailed report about the camera market sales in Germany. Here are some of their key findings:
1) The graph on tops shows how the system camera market is dropping. But the Mirrorless system cameras managed to growth(!) despite the fall of overall sales. The DSLR market is really falling rapidly.
2) Mirrorless system camera unit sales numbers did grow with 17,4% in 2014 compared to 2013. And overall revenue increased by 26,2%.
3) The surprising boom comes via Actioncameras:
4) In 2014 for the first time since many years also lens sales are dropping.
5) More charts show that Photo book sales are increasing while accessory sales are slowing down.
We are really on the verge of a big change in Germany. Wearables, smartphones and action cameras are the markets that are growing while the DSLR and compact camera market is falling. Mirrorless can hold the ground and even manages to have a growth. But still, system cameras will more and more become a niche product compared to the massive growth of the new kind of devices people are using to take pictures and videos.

Some info about the future NX1 firmware update features....
A source just sent me this:
One of the incoming fw for nx1 will have a new algorithm for af tracking of moving subjects. They claim a 100% (or even more) improvement in accuracy with c-af and multi point focus. They told me the camera will easily beat any pro dslr on the market after the update.
