Compact Cameras Reviving in the Digital Age
In 2025, major manufacturers are expected to re-enter the compact camera market. Notably, Sony and Canon are likely to announce high-end fixed-lens models.
This trend is driven by the growing interest in film camera revival and retro designs among younger generations and creators. Cameras that combine ease of use and design aesthetics will offer a shooting experience that smartphones cannot provide.

As the allure of analog photography is re-evaluated, these products will appeal not only to film photography enthusiasts but also to a new generation of photographers.
Advancements in High Resolution and Expansion of the Medium Format Market
In the high-resolution camera sector, Sony's α7R VI is anticipated to feature an 80-megapixel sensor, potentially setting a new standard for image quality.
Additionally, Fujifilm's GFX series of medium format cameras is expected to introduce a lower resolution model with a faster scanning sensor, enhancing performance in both photography and videography. The further entry into the medium format cinema camera market is likely to attract the attention of professional users.
