After nearly half a century of accumulation, Japanese manufacturers have reduced R&D and manufacturing costs to very low levels. Even if Chinese companies have the power to make cameras, they have many parts that are patented. If you don’t use them plan, so you can only develop and patent it yourself, and the cost increases, and if you don't use them to develop your own solution, the cost may be higher. Even if you cut the cost to the extreme, you can end up with a 20,000-yuan, very, very, top-notch camera in every aspect. SLRs are basically Japanese. Korean products have just come out and almost no one buys them. American products do not exist. German products are very good, but the price is astonishingly high. The price is almost the same as a car. Currently, there are no SLR companies in China. The production technology of electronic sensors is almost entirely controlled by Japanese manufacturers and no other country can do this.
Although Germany is the best in lens processing technology, the Japanese are the best in industrialization, which means it is cheaper than the best, and even better than the cheapest. Financial pressure, talent pressure, and the most important thing is that consumers do not know new brands (we usually buy products from professional companies, especially well-known brands), not because they do not produce, but because they do not have the production capacity, CCD for digital SLR cameras And CMOS cannot be produced in China. Relatively few people use DSLR cameras. Canon and Nikon have mature technology in digital SLR cameras and have produced dozens of digital SLR cameras. In addition, Sony and Pentax have also joined the ranks of SLR digital camera production, and the market competition has become quite fierce.
No Chinese company has the technical capabilities to compete with Canon, Nikon, Sony and Pentax. Sony's SLR digital camera sells for only 2,000 yuan in the Chinese market. Even if a Chinese company can produce a digital SLR camera, it may not be able to sell it. A digital SLR is a precision instrument that integrates light, mechanics, and electricity. Its difficulty is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. The obvious fact is that there are fewer countries that can manufacture digital SLR cameras than artificial satellites! It has high requirements for electronics, machinery, materials, optics, processing and other technologies, and it is developing rapidly. There are many technologies that only Japan has mastered so far. A SLR is similar to an engine, it is something that can be reused with precision! This is China's weakness, just like we can make disposable rockets, missiles and spaceships, but we have never figured out how to make engines.
