CIPA data: Dramatic camera shipment drop after the Kumamoto earthquake

Shipment

The Japanese organization CIPA published the full May camera shipment report (PDF file here). And there has been a dramatic camera shipment drop caused mainly by the Kumamoto earthquake damages. As you know the biggest Sony sensor production facility had to stop the production. This affected almost all camera companies as they almost all use Sony sensors.

Sony recently stated that full sensor production capability will be reached in August only. So expect this graph to show even worse numbers the next couple of months :(
