Instead, both companies are said to be focusing on the expansion and development of their mirrorless products.<\/p>\n<p>If this IS the case, who can blame them for this decision? After all, most of us now carry around far more convenient (and maybe even better resolution) smartphones in our bags and back pockets. Just this week, OnePlus announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/latest\/photo-news\/oneplus-10t-announced-without-hasselblad-171596\">launch of the OnePlus 10T<\/a> \u2013 a triple lens smartphone with a whopping 50 megapixel IMX766 1\/1.56-inch sensor and an ultra wide angle lens, offering a 120 degree angle of view \u2013 features you\u2019d be hard pushed to find on a compact matching its \u00a3629\/\u00a3729 RRP.<\/p>\n<h2>Who still makes compact cameras?<\/h2>\n<p>According to Nikkei, <strong>global shipment of compact digital cameras has fallen 97%<\/strong> from 2008, to just 3.01 million units in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Looking through the current offerings, Panasonic Holdings has not released any new product priced below 50,000 yen (approximately \u00a3305\/$370 at time of writing) since 2019. A Panasonic spokesperson explained the company&#8217;s position:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Photo\/video shooting has become very popular due to the growth of social media, and camera requirements are becoming more diverse.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to study market trends and customer needs, developing new products not only by category (like compact or mirrorless) but with a focus on delivering the performance that smartphones cannot achieve. In line with this, for compact digital cameras, we continue to sell premium models with high image quality and high magnification but have <strong>temporarily stopped developing new products for models that can be replaced with smartphones<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_164064&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1018px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"164064\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/best-waterproof-nikon-coolpix-w300-yellow-front.jpg\" alt=\"Nikon Coolpix W300 Waterproof camera\" width=\"998\" height=\"665\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Nikon Coolpix W300 Waterproof compact camera<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Meanwhile, Nikon currently only offers two models with high-powered lenses, though has reiterated it will be \u201cclosely monitoring market trends\u201d before making any decision on future development. A spokeperson commented, &#8220;based on the market situation and needs, we are currently focusing on the development of mirrorless camera. Nikon is continuing the production of compact digital cameras.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This follows in the footsteps of Fujifilm who discontinued its FinePix range and offers the premium X100V as the only \u201ccompact camera\u201d in the range.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_172096&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"172096\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Fujifilm-x100v.jpg\" alt=\"Fujifilm X100V\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Fujifilm X100V premium compact camera. Credit: Michael Topham<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Canon doesn\u2019t seem to have completely written off compact cameras with plenty of PowerShot models still available. The company confirmed its \u201centry-level models continue to enjoy persistent support, so we\u2019ll continue development and production as long as there is demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Sony, the Cyber-shot brand hasn\u2019t had a new addition since 2019. A spokeperson for the company has commented: \u201cit\u2019s not that we\u2019ll stop developing new products\u201d. Even as far back as 2012, it reported <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/latest\/photo-news\/sony-sees-significant-slide-in-compact-cameras-12067\">a significant fall in compact camera sales<\/a> it believed \u201cwas due to a significant increase in the sales of interchangeable single lens cameras\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Compacts are also an endangered species for Olympus, with just\u00a0one, lonely Tough TG-6.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a complete compact drought, though. For Ricoh, the compact market would appear to be still going strong. In comparison, it still has plenty of wholesome offerings to choose from, particularly with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ricoh-imaging.eu\/uk_en\/gr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GR range<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/reviews\/compacts\/ricoh-gr-iiix-review-40mm-pocket-wonder\">the likes of the Ricoh GR IIIX recently kept us impressed<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>The future of compact cameras<\/h2>\n<p>For now, only time will tell how things will pan out for compact enthusiasts. Certainly, a fragile global market and photography <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/latest\/photo-news\/photographers-set-to-face-equipment-shortages-in-2022-159622\">equipment shortages<\/a> will be having an influence on camera production and development.
