The bottom line:
"The most common scapegoat for poor camera sales, the growth of the smartphone market, is not entirely to blame here. Toyo Keizai says that Nikon’s fear of conflicting with its DSLR camera sales made the company reluctant to produce a mirrorless camera. By the time it entered the market, Sony had long since entrenched itself. In 2019, Sony produced 1.65 million units, while Nikon had only produced 280,000."
Why don't camera manufacturers design and make cameras that also do the things that cell phones do? I would love to have a better designed cell phone that is nicer to hold and use for photos than existing cell phones are.
