"Digital camera makers Canon Inc and Eastman Kodak Co gained in the rapidly growing and fiercely competitive global market for digital cameras in 2003, but failed to displace Sony Corp, according to industry data. In its Digital Still Camera 2003 report, research firm IDC said Sony held an 18 percent share of units shipped. Canon, with its 16 percent share, passed Olympus Corp, which had 13 percent. At a 12 percent share, Kodak rose to fourth place, leapfrogging Fuji Photo Film Co Ltd." See Reuters.
Comment: an impressive result for Sony. Electronics companies took an early lead in the digital camera market, but traditional camera (Canon, Olympus, Nikon) and old-style film manufacturers (Kodak, Fuji) have staged a comeback.
