(1/7) > >>

Canon Rumors:
Share Oh Joy The IDC reported yesterday on the marketshare of the camera makers for 2010. Canon remains the #1 camera maker in the world if you included PowerShots. Sony is in 2nd place. However, in DSLR marketshare for 2010. Canon kicked the butt of pretty much everyone out there. DSLR Global Marketshare 2010
* Canon 44.5%
* Nikon 29.8%
* Sony 11.9 % I always attach a grain of salt to marketshare research, everyone seems to come up with a different number. However, IDC is pretty well respected. Source [1001noisycameras] via [Bloomberg] cr

Good job Canon, would anyone know why Canon does so much better.

Honestly does may sound a wee bit ridiculous but I believe it is because Canon entry level (and well all DSLR's) are manufactured in Japan, whereas Nikon crop sensor cameras a manufactured in Thailand (I know many people that got Canon over Nikon for this very reason).

Agree, Made in Japan is a terrific selling tool. But it is a very important parameter for determining the value of an object on the second hand market too so people are right to be attracted to this label.

dilbert:
mmm, Canon sold more DSLRs in 2010 than Sony and Nikon combined.

Tells you something, doesn't it?

Stuart:
If Nikon have good quality control then Thailand makes no difference. In fact it shoud get you more camera for your money as manufacturing is presumably cheaper.
I chose Canon over Nikon for its range of lenses, more professional looking website & Industry buzz. I continue to choose Canon for the fact that there seems to be only small amounts of difference between different bodies and my investment in Lenses and accessories stays with me. With infinite spare cash i'd have one from everybody but in the real world canon just seems to market its products better so i prefer them.
Thats not to say that Dynamic range and a few other niggles don't bug me - they can still improve the product.
I do though think that camera's are over priced and manufacture and design in other countries will help all photographers - Samsung i'm watching you!
