Canon may halt film camera development
TOKYO, May 25 (Reuters) - Japan's Canon Inc. said on Thursday that it would consider halting development of new film cameras as it focuses resources on digital models, the latest sign of the rapidly fading role of film in photography.
A spokesman at Canon, the world's largest digital camera maker, said it would consider whether it needs to continue developing both compact and single lens reflex (SLR) film models because the markets for both are shrinking.
Canon said it would continue to produce and sell existing models and make a final judgment on the business in the future while monitoring market demand.
Canon's statement follows an announcement earlier this year by rival Nikon Corp. that it would stop producing most of its film cameras, except for a few professional products.
Konica Minolta Holdings Inc., meanwhile, has said it would exit the camera and photo film markets, where it has been losing money amid stiff competition and weak demand.
The photographic film and film camera markets have been shrinking rapidly in the past few years due to the rising popularity of digital cameras, which can take and store photos without the need for film.

佳能有可能停止底片相机的开发
东京5月25日电 据路透社报道，日本佳能公司周四表示,它将考虑停止开发新的底片相机,而将资源集中在数码机型上，这是底片在摄影上的作用迅速减弱的最新迹象.
作为世界上最大的数码相机制造商的佳能公司的一位发言人说,该公司将考虑是否需要继续开发袖珍底片相机和单镜头反光（SLR）底片相机,因为两者的市场均在萎缩。
佳能表示将继续生产和销售现有机型,将来在监控市场需求的同时对此再作出最终决定.
佳能的陈述是在其竞争对手尼康公司之后作出的。尼康公司今年早些时候宣布:它将停止生产其除了一些专业产品之外的大部分底片相机.
柯尼卡美能达控股公司同时也表示将退出相机和照片底片市场,公司在该市场因为竞争激烈和需求疲软一直处于亏损.
由于无需底片就可以拍摄、储存照片，数码相机日益普及，导致摄影底片和底片相机市场最近几年一直在急剧萎缩.
