>>3830033The problem isn't millennials suddenly not being into cameras, the problem is boomers dumping all their camera gear because their iPhone whatever can do the job they want it to do now - photographing their dogs and grandchildren.
I think there's definitely hope for photography, but the factor that's gonna make stuff better if it the camera companies can work out the best way to make and market "fun" to use cameras.
Right now, there's probably about 2 main markets: vloggers and professionals.
Professionals want a workhorse that does the job. Go to location, shoot, leave, post-processs.
Vloggers just want something that'll be good for video that will probably last most of the day for whatever.
Japan... however has managed to find a way to appeal to casual users. Just look at Fuji and their Instax system. It might be kinda crap, and it might be limiting for creativity, but they sell them in various colours and push the instant appeal of it.
Heck, some competitors have come to conclude the same thing, like Pentax who sell multicoloured K mount DSLRs....
