Canon stops working on film cameras [ 26-05-2006 14:28 ]

Author: Serge Novikov Source: http://www.itar-tass.com Translation by:

The Japanese company Canon stops working on film cameras, which are inevitably replaced by digital cameras. The president of Canon, the world leading maker of DS cameras, said today at the conference in Tokyo.

He called the contraction of the film camera market a call of time, as the digital cameras are much comfortable. It became commercially unprofitable to develop new film cameras, as they are in demand mainly by enthusiasts and those who don’t want to switch to digital cameras. However Canon will keep on releasing current film camera models till the demand remains.

Earlier this week Motorola and Verizon Wireless have announced the soon release (from May 31) of a long-awaited slim communicator Motorola Q. The phone is positioned as the rival to the BlackBerry and Treo.

The company expects Motorola Q to have the popularity of Motorola RAZR. Motorola estimated that the sales over the first 90 days would reach 750 thousand devices, over the next 90 days – 1.5 million and over another 3 months – 3 million.

These are the figures close to the RAZR achievements, which helped the company increase its market share and get closer to the leader – Nokia.
