The use of digital cameras has not just been limited to personal and professional photography, but has been extended across entertainment, media, and sports industries.

This promising outlook of the film and entertainment industry is expected to drive the demand for digital cameras to achieve perfect shots and videos. Rapid technological changes, consumer behavior, and business models have changed the way consumers want to experience and pay for entertainment and the media. The leaders in this industry are concentrating on building fan-focused businesses and brands to produce outstanding content. As a result, they invest a significant amount on technologies and equipment such as computer-generated image (CGI) and visual effects (VFX), as well as advanced cameras.

Also, there is indispensable use of digital cameras in sports media. The installation of high speed and digital cameras at stadium offers spectators to see slow motion replays at critical game situations and helps obtain accuracy while watching. Similarly, the use of high-resolution digital cameras in wildlife, landscape, architecture, and studio photography helps obtain sharp and crisp images and videos. The rising focus toward action photography has subsequently promoted the demand for compact digital cameras, such as GoPro. Further, social media platforms, such as Instagram, have substantially expanded the scope for photography, which, in turn is expected to proliferate the growth of the digital camera market
