| This report evaluates the digital imaging habits of professional photographers. This document and the data within it are the result of InfoTrends’ 2009 Professional Photographer survey. This study examines the digital photography behaviors of professional photographers, including the equipment they own; what they plan to buy in the future; how many digital images they take, save, store, and print; and the types of software they use. Where appropriate, this document also considers how the results from this year’s survey compare to the results from previous years. |
