Full-chain Presentation from Imaging Capture to Post-production, with Brands Gathering to Meet Diverse Commercial Shooting Scenarios

It also collaborates with the “China Wedding Expo 2025” and the “2025 SHANGHAI BRIDAL FASHION SHOWROOM” to achieve multi-exhibition linkage and resource integration.

Sustained Expansion of Photography Industry Market Scale, Demonstrating Vigorous Development Momentum
According to relevant data statistics, in 2024, the global digital camera shipment volume reached 8.49 million units, an increase of 10%, among which the shipment volume of mirrorless cameras (also known as micro single cameras), which have dominated the market, was 5.61 million units, an increase of 16.1%. The camera shipment volume in the Chinese market reached 1.9481 million units, with sales reaching 229.923 billion yen (11.384 billion RMB), among which the sales volume of mirrorless cameras reached 1.6364 million units, a year-on-year increase of 36.4%, making China the world’s largest mirrorless camera market.
On social media, the wave of mirrorless and retro cameras has surged. Camera manufacturers such as Fujifilm, Canon, and Nikon have launched “flashback ” campaigns, introducing new products that perfectly integrate analog film dials, lightweight bodies, and classic appearance designs, allowing users to start stylish street photography at any time with the camera in their pockets.
The rigid demand for professional imaging in short video and Vlog content creation has contributed to the camera purchase boom. Therefore, imaging devices that combine movie-level professional high image quality with flexibility, compactness, and diverse video creative expression features have ushered in development opportunities. Whether for film short dramas, live streaming, Vlogs, or 3D VR videos, professional equipment can help create high-quality social network imaging content, enabling video creators to achieve creative freedom.
In addition, the “silver economy” is also an important driver of camera consumption. Outdoor travel photography and learning photography not only enrich the retirement life of the elderly but also help them maintain active thinking. Overall, cameras have gradually become the “social currency” for young people and the “hobby” for middle-aged and elderly people to enrich their lives, with more and more people picking up cameras to express themselves and enrich their lives.
Comprehensive Integration of AI into Commercial Imaging: Focusing on the Present and Embracing Changes
AI has been fully integrated into the imaging chain. New products from Fujifilm, Canon, and Nikon respectively feature intelligent composition, enhanced scene and subject recognition, in-camera AI retouching, and even AI video functions. Computational photography’s “AI super-resolution” and “deblurring” have become practical functions to improve image quality.
Driven by the demand for personalized “filter ecology”, imaging consumers have an increasingly strong demand for color styles. A series of rich cloud LUT libraries and AI-optimized calibrations meet the creative needs of different scenes and emotions, from ins style to the cyberpunk style, generating atmospheric masterpieces with one click.
In recent years, innovative applications of AI enterprises such as Pixel Cake, MeituYunxiu, Baidu Netdisk, and Tuling in the commercial photography field have significantly improved retouching quality and efficiency, thereby saving labor costs and shortening the time cycle from shooting to delivery.
