Consumer survey reveals camera sales on the rise
Article Abstract:

The figure represents an increase over the 16.2% of households tthat acquired cameras anc camcorders in 1996. The increasing popularity of digital still cameras accounts partly for the declining share of 35mm point-and-shoots among all cameras sold.
