Latest May CIPA report: System camera sales still worse than 2019

It’s pretty meaningless to compare the May camera shipments with 2020 when the pandemic basically froze all the production and shipment.

Smartphones are only getting better and better and normal people do not need to buy a professional camer anymore.
