Compact sales shine, but tariffs cast shadow
Amateur Photographer
|August 19, 2025
WHILE it's not quite up there with Donald Trump and Steve Jobs in the annals of comebacks, compact camera sales continue to grow, a big turnaround from just a few years ago.
-
According to the latest sales data for June from Japan's Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA), the 'shipped value' of compact cameras made in Japan jumped by 40% in the first six months of this year. Fixed-lens cameras, which include compacts and bridge/superzooms, accounted for nearly a quarter of shipments during this period (24.4%). The data reveals that 1.05 million compact cameras were shipped in the period, the biggest number since 2021.

America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition
Let's be clear: America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition is not a book, it's a broadside. A glorified trophy disguised as a publication. Yours for £12,500 - that's a year's rent, a used van, or about 3,000 issues of AP. Full disclosure - I didn't receive a press review copy.
