This IDC study discusses the results of IDC's 2008 U.S. Consumer Digital Camera Imaging Survey, a top-level study of U.S. digital camera owners. The survey focuses on key consumer imaging applications, including quantifying how many images and video clips users capture, delete, print, and archive. Analysis of image sharing is brought to light, and trends are identified across survey responses. The data is presented by household income, gender, and age.

"IDC believes there are distinct clusters of users who can be identified by their printing behavior," says Chris Chute, research manager, IDC's Worldwide Digital Imaging Solutions and Services.
