The table above with the actual numbers has some interesting info – DSLR cameras performed better than mirrorless in February. DSLR camera production (marked with red) saw a significant increase:

  • compared to previous month (number of units/yen value): 135.4% / 116.6% (2* column)
  • compared to same month last year (number of units/yen value): 104% / 103%  (3* column)

For the same period, the mirrorless numbers (marked with blue) were not as good:

  • compared to previous month (number of units/yen value):  105.4% / 89.5% (2* column)
  • compared to same month last year (number of units/yen value): 88.7% / 97.8%  (3* column)

The total shipment numbers are similar.
