CIPA has published global camera shipment data from Japanese manufacturers and there has been a spike in shipments. And as you can see from the graphs below while system camera sales are on par with last years performance the fixed lens camera market is really booming.

I am sure cameras like the Ricoh GRIV are selling hot right now! I wonder if this will convince Panasonic to revive the Lumix LX100 series!
