Why is China manufacturing still completely blank in the field of SLR cameras?

In fact, those common electronic goods on the market are not difficult for China science and technology, or even a piece of cake, but the free market cannot stand on whether it can manufacture goods alone. Judging from the experience of giant companies in various fields, it is not so easy to survive in the competition and reach the upstream. Decision-making, marketing, technology, culture, luck and so on are indispensable. When a monopoly giant already exists in one field, other companies basically survive and get more cakes.

In the field of cameras, the film period is still a hundred schools of thought contend, including many domestic brands, but the core of cameras: film is in the hands of a few manufacturers such as Kodak. After the arrival of the digital age, the imaging core of the camera has changed from film to its own sensor, and the camera field has been shuffled rapidly. Kodak empire was defeated because it insisted on film for a hundred years, and the monopolist in the camera field changed.

There is a more dramatic episode. In fact, the first commercial digital camera was released by Kodak, but Kodak did not continue to develop digital cameras because of the impact on its mainstream film market, until it was finally surpassed by Sony, Canon and other manufacturers.

Although there are many manufacturers of digital cameras, in the field of civil SLR, only Canon and Nikon occupy a dominant position in the market. These two companies represent the top level of professional SLR cameras in the film era. Canon even achieved eye control focusing in the film SLR, and the performance of the fuselage is comparable to that of the current digital SLR. Relying on powerful technology and product strategy, Sony has taken the lead in SLR models and squeezed a place, but it still exists like a spare tire. A photographer must be accompanied by Canon or Nikon when he grows up. He has spare money to play brands such as Sony. Although Sony has strong technology, Nikon sensors are Sony's. ...

It can be seen that the photographer group has a custom passed down from generation to generation.

And manufacturers such as Hash, Leica and Pentax have subdivided the market in a certain field, such as medium format cameras that ordinary people can't afford.

To sum up, in the SLR market, even if the technology, market position, marketing means and user reputation are as strong as Sony, it can only be a spare tire. It is almost impossible for China to achieve anything by relying solely on technology.
