Is it possible for Xiaomi's latest mobile phone camera to replace SLR?

When digital camera manufacturers are transforming one after another, in fact, we see that digital camera manufacturers, whether Nikon, Canon, Sony or even Leica, which once flourished, are now losing money or losing money. Although the appearance of micro-single camera was once considered as a substitute for the competition between digital SLR cameras and smart mobile terminals, it finally proved that the life of digital camera manufacturers is getting more and more sad, and it is obviously difficult to expect digital cameras themselves to reverse the pace of historical development, just like the decline of Kodak and Fuji. If the emergence of digital cameras has buried a traditional image giant like Kodak, then with the popularity of smart phones, especially after the shooting ability has become more and more powerful,

Of course, the image giants still have room for transformation and even cooperation. Sony and Leica are both cutting into the smartphone camera market, and Canon is determined to turn to the medical imaging market. Relatively speaking, Nikon's pace is not brisk enough, and how to choose and develop in the future also needs an important transition period. In fact, for Sony, the development of the image itself is more inclined to sensors, cameras and so on. Simple digital products, lenses, SLR, micro-single, it is difficult to carry more expectations. As for the cooperation between Leica and Huawei, we need to continue to observe whether there will be more cooperation between manufacturers in the future. Of course, Leica is positioned at the high end, and the product itself is relatively small. There is still room for exploration in a personalized market, but it will not be too big.

Someone has been discussing "Can mobile phones replace SLR"? Actually, this is not a problem at all. For photographers, mobile phones can't replace SLR, but for more mass users, mobile phones can completely replace digital cameras. In fact, when we visit scenic spots, we will know what equipment people around us use. Many people just hold mobile phones, selfie sticks and so on. But few people carry huge and bulky digital SLR. This is the choice of the public. For digital camera manufacturers, it is obviously impossible to support their photographers by a small number of people. Then the final result is that digital cameras gradually talk about the historical stage and are replaced by emerging mobile terminals that are lighter and can be shared.

At present, several former digital camera manufacturers in Japan have begun to turn to new fields, and Olympus, Nikon and Canon have all begun to shift their business focus from cameras to the medical device market. Konica Minolta completely withdrew from the camera market and focused on printing and optical equipment. In fact, for camera manufacturers, in addition to entering the emerging image field, they should also increase cooperation with smart terminal manufacturers, make cameras smaller, make them inside mobile phones, and increase investment in mobile phone cameras. Although the profit will be reduced, it will be a big market if it can form a scale. Of course, for those manufacturers with no characteristics, the future may really change course, otherwise survival will be a problem.
