As a veteran driver with 30 years of experience playing with machines, I recently discovered something that made me a little sad: I found that most of the models of Sony and Nikon are now out of stock for a long time. Many people may say: out of stock is a good thing, it means that people are selling well, selling out of stock!
Is this really the case? I took a look at some of sony and Nikon's current mainstream high-end models, and the result was almost all out of stock, but looking at the sales, it can be described as miserable. Since the sales are not good, why are they out of stock? In fact, the reason is very simple: the more poor sales of the model, the more manufacturers dare not mass production, because the production will be a large backlog, so the manufacturer will greatly reduce the production capacity, so it will often be out of stock.
If you look at the best-selling models at present, which one is often out of stock? For example, Canon R5 and R6 are almost never out of stock, and if you look at the sales of Canon R5 and R6 models, they are almost the top of the network.
But overall, now SLR and micro-single sales are getting worse and worse, mainly by the more and more powerful functions of camera phones, now a better smart phone can basically meet the requirements of most people's daily home photography, coupled with the current price of micro-single is getting higher and higher, so that more people began to give up the high price of micro-orders.
However, it is worth noting that although the sales of micro-singles and SLR are now decreasing, a new shooting equipment - 360-degree panoramic cameras and super-stable and ultra-portable sports cameras are on the rise, and now there are more and more small partners to start. So, what is the special charm of 360-degree panoramic cameras and action cameras?
First of all, the 360-degree panoramic camera shooting mode and the traditional camera than the traditional camera, there has been a drastic change, the 360-degree panoramic camera does not need to focus when taking pictures, nor does it need to compose, and even you do not need to shoot at the subject, you can take a 360-degree panoramic photo with a random shot, the southeast, northwest, and the sky and the ground Everything is included in the photo, you want to see that angle can go to that angle, when you take it out and watch, you can choose any perspective, See all the footage that surrounds you 360 degrees, even from an overhead view.
When taking a picture, shooting a video is the same, when the 360-degree panoramic camera shoots video, it can also take everything around it, and it is all moving, you don't need to compose a picture, you don't need to use the lens to face the subject, any angle can be taken, the video can be taken from any perspective, and can look in any direction, is it very magical?
At present, the world's most powerful 360-degree panoramic camera is the Insta360 ONE X2, which is a panoramic camera with two 200-degree ultra-wide angle fisheye lenses, which can shoot everything in the 360-degree range, and can be edited from any angle in the later stage, if you look at it with RV glasses, it is a 360-degree picture around your space.
So, what about action cameras? First of all, the action camera is very small and portable, more convenient to carry than the mobile phone, and the picture quality of the action camera to take pictures and videos is more than that of high-end mobile phones, and the most powerful thing is that the action camera has incredible super stabilization performance and portability, no matter how you bump and shake, the picture taken is very smooth and clear. Many of the wonderful and shocking videos we usually see on TV about surfing, skiing, extreme sports, rock climbing, racing, etc. are taken with a personal action camera.
At present, the best action camera is GoPro HERO10 Black, GoPro is the originator of the global action camera, the current GoPro HERO10 Black image stabilization performance is the best, GoPro HERO10 Black video shooting format is also the highest.
