Though the total number of digital SLRs made dropped 21.4%, compared to the same period the previous year, DSLR production was only down 3% on the same month in 2008.

And DSLR shipments to Europe were 2.3% higher in May 2009 than in May 2008, state the figures released by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA).
