Canon to accelerate development of new mirrorless products (2018 financial results are out)

Canon expects its annual operating profit to drop for the first time in three years
Canon forecasts an operating profit of 325 billion yen ($2.97 billion) for 2019, down 5.2 percent from 342.95 billion yen a year earlier - the first decline since 2016
Tough competition in mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and a stronger yen are also expected to hurt Canon’s earnings.
