All camera manufacturers have made errors across the years.
- they all ignored the smartphone market - why didn't they release their own smartphones? In such a religious market, fans would have jumped immediately on a Canon/Nikon smartphone. And they surely have the expertise for making a difference in many aspects (albeit I'm wondering why Sony smartphone cameras are so crappy really)
- the completely missed the action cam market. Sure, there were a few half-hearty attempts but it's a joke that they are unable to compete in their home ground
- CaNikon almost missed the mirrorless wagon and Pentax' attempt was doomed to fail from day 1
- computational photography? Where?
- social media integration via a simple 4G/5G card - where?
The story of the decline of the traditional manufacturers is a story of arrogance and the inability to reinvent themselves.
