The development of cameras?

In the new century, the popularity of digital cameras is getting higher and higher. Handheld digital cameras have become one of the fashion and family necessities for young people. With the continuous development of digital camera technology, digital cameras have begun to set foot in the field of professional photography. Predictably. The timetable for digital cameras to completely replace ordinary optical cameras is coming. In the production field, in addition to the original camera manufacturers began to transform to produce digital cameras, many other manufacturers also began to set foot in the production of digital camera products, and digital camera products and their upstream and downstream parts began to become hot investment products. At this moment, let's review the development of domestic optical camera products, which should be very meaningful for enterprises that have set foot in or intend to set foot in digital camera products.

The development of China's camera industry has experienced a process from scratch, from "glory" and "pride" to gradual withdrawal and continuous shrinking. China's camera industry began in the mid-1950s, and by the end of 1950s, camera production had begun to take shape, with an annual output of 654.38+10,000. In the early 1960s, Shanghai Camera Factory successfully copied the Japanese "Minolta" SR-2 35mm focal plane shutter single-lens reflex camera (later seagull DF camera), and the national camera output continued to rise. After that, China's camera production experienced a decade of wandering. In the first half of 1970s, the camera industry began to recover. 1973- 1975, camera factories have mushroomed all over the country, including Dandong camera factory, Hangzhou camera factory (reconstruction), Harbin camera factory (reconstruction), Changzhou camera factory, Wuhan camera factory, Qingdao camera factory, Fuzhou camera factory (reconstruction) and Suzhou camera factory. The output of cameras has steadily increased, and the mainstream products are 120 dual-lens reflective cameras; At the end of 1970s, camera products in China entered the upgrading stage, and electronics and automation technology gradually entered the field of camera products in China. In the early 1980s, the output of cameras in China soared, and the output rose rapidly. The mid-1980s was the golden age in China's camera history. Since then, under the impact of imported cameras, in the process of transforming traditional optical cameras into electronic cameras and digital cameras that emerged in the mid-1990s, the production system of domestic camera industry began to disintegrate under the cooperation and joint venture with foreign camera manufacturers, and some enterprises even withdrew from the industry. So far, from the brand point of view, there are only two brands "Phoenix" and "Seagull" in the market, while from the perspective of enterprise operation and production mode, there is only "Phoenix" at present.

The purpose of this paper is not to summarize and comment, but to list the products that have been developed and manufactured in China when optical cameras are about to become historical products, so that the industry can remember our development achievements in optical camera products, review the development process, carry forward the optical industry foundation established in the past, and shorten the gap with the international level in developing digital camera products as soon as possible.
