Panasonic financial report for the year 2023 discloses “favorable sales of digital cameras”

Share

Panasonic released the full year financial report. As usual they never really disclose numbers about their digital camera market. So it’s impossible to have a clear view. All they write about that is the following:

favorable sales of digital cameras

And in their forecast they write:

growth of high value-added products (e.g. digital cameras, professional video equipment)

So this is definitely good news. Hope we can soon report even better news once they release a new GH7 :)
