Japan’s Nikon Corp will beat its digital single-lens reflex camera and interchangeable lens shipment targets for the business year ending this month, the head of its camera unit said on March 28.
Makoto Kimura also told Reuters in an interview that the company expected double-digit digital SLR shipment growth in the next year starting in April. Nikon’s main competitor in the high-end camera market is Canon Inc.
Nikon has said it expects to ship 8.55 million digital cameras in the year ending March, up from 8.45 million units it sold a year earlier.
That includes the expected shipment of 2.05 million digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) models geared for advanced amateurs and professional photographers. Its DSLR shipments a year earlier were 1.34 million units.
Kimura said Nikon was on track to beat its digital SLR target for 2006/07. – Reuters
