Nikkei released the 2019 camera market share - the top five digital camera companies combined had a 93.7% share in 2019 (sales units: 14,830,000 or -22.4%). The data includes only Japanese companies. Here is the breakdown:
Meike announced another manual focus mirrorless lens for Nikon Z-mount: 25mm f/1.8 (price: $75). This is an APS-C lens and it will be best suited for the Nikon Z50 camera. Meike already has several other lenses for Z-mount: 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.2, 50mm f/1.7, and 85mm f/2.8. Meike lenses are sold at Adorama, Amazon and B&H Photo.
