I'm trying to work out whether HP is winning or losing the digital camera race HP was never a dominant player. Kodak, Canon and Sony rule the digital point & shoot market. HP, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic etc, are all playing catch up. In 2005, HP ranked 5th in the USA and 7th in Europe and Latin America. In Asia they actually pulled out of the market. HP has never been a player in digital cameras. They're popular with novices and computer brand loyalists.
The players in digital cameras are Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Kodak (also for novices). Other viable entries are Pentax and Olympus, also as the other poster noted, Fuji and Panasonic.
There is no race to win. It's just a product, there will always be many competitors. |
