We now finally know what the Ricoh GR teaser I reported last year is about: today Ricoh announced the RICOH GR III HDF and RICOH GR IIIx HDF cameras featuring a newly-developed Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF) that diffuses highlights for softer light, creating more expressive images. The HDF, which can be turned on and off. This special-effect filter diffuses highlight areas and creates a blurred effect along the image’s edges, making it possible to produce images resembling those captured in film photography or vintage movies.

CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association in Japan) published their latest camera production data (orange: 2024, black: 2023, blue: 2022):


February 2024 CIPA numbers by ZoetMB

Everything is up compared to YTD 2023, but there are a few interesting anomalies:  DSLR units are up 2% YTD, but shipped value is up 10%, indicating that the models remaining are higher priced.   It’s similar with compacts:  units are exactly the same as last YTD, but shipped value is 28% higher.    However, the ratio of lenses to bodies shipped is again down slightly and mirrorless share (of mirrorless + DSLR) has been dropping slightly.

CIPA has predicted 5.89m ILCs, 1.52m compacts and 9.57m lenses for calendar 2024, but based on the trends of the first two months and the ship patterns of 2023, ILC shipments might be substantially higher.

That compares to:*

2023: 6.001 million bodies (+1.25%), 9.639 million lenses (-0.92%).
2022: 5.927 million bodies (+10.8%), 9.7 million lenses (+1.6%).

2018: 10.76 million bodies (-7.9%), 18 million lenses (-6.4%)
2017: 11.68 million bodies (+0.6%) 19.22 million lenses (+0.156%)
2016: 11.61 million bodies (-11.1%), 19.19 million lenses (-11.6%)
2015: 13.06 million bodies (-5.6%), 21.7 million lenses (-5.2%)
2014: 13.84 million bodies (-19.2%), 22.9 million lenses (-14.2%)
2013: 17.13 million bodies (-15%), 26.7 million lenses (-12.2%)

2012: 20.16 million bodies (+28.5%), 30.4 million lenses (+16.9%)

2011: 15.69 million bodies (+21.7%), 26.0 million lenses (+19.9%)
2010: 12.89 million bodies (+30%), 21.69 million lenses (+34.7%)
2009: 9.91 million bodies (+2.2%), 16.1 million lenses (+2.5%)
2008: 9.7 million bodies (+17.4%), 15.7 million lenses (+25.6%)
