On: Camera sales are falling sharply

I thought that YouTubers buying cameras would bump these numbers up a bit. Most cameras have the option to shoot video now.

YouTubers is a niche market thought. They represent a extremely small fraction of the whole market. And a lot of them don't need a DLSR camera and are just contempt with a good webcam (typically the gaming youtubers/twitch and all).

A cheap webcam will surely suffice for most of them.

"Everyone" shoots in 4K now and bad video quality is a good way to basically push viewers away.

My iPhone 6S does 4K in great quality with a really cheap camera. (As a part)

Their phones do too so then calculation is the same.
