CIPA (http://www.cipa.co.jp/english) just released Japanese February production figures for film and digital cameras. film SLR production for February YTD is down more than 40% over last year's February YTD. DSLR production is up more than 500%. absolute production for February YTD is almost 3 DSLRs for every 2 film SLRs. based on my rough extrapolation from these numbers, there will be roughly 2.1 million DSLRs produced this year by Japanese manufacturers of which Canon and Nikon will account for almost 2 million. there will be about 1.1 million film SLRs produced by Japanese manufacturers.
