LOL. First, Canon has nearly 50% of the ILC market...a market they have dominated for 15 years, they’re certainly not ‘desparete’ to keep users from switching brands (although it could be argued that all manufacturers are desparate to keep users from stopping ILC purchases, which is the prevailing trend in the market as a whole). Second, the RP is cheaper than any other current FF ILC...it’s going to be very competitive (oh I know, not in your mind but that’s because you define competitive as ‘something I like’). Third, Sony has no meaningful majority segment share to keep...last year, Canon led the global ILC market, the Japanese FF ILC market and MILC market (we don’t have data on the global FF and MILC segments), Sony led only the FF MILC market in Japan (a sub- sub-segment, it’s just not that big a market), and that was because they were the only seller of FF MILCs for 3 quarters of the year. That’s over now.
Remember when Sony was the top APS-C MILC seller? That was when no one else made APS-C MILCs (the others were m4/3, and those outsold Sony). Then Canon launched the EOS M, and Sony moved their focus to FF MILC. Now Canon (and Nikon) have FF MILCs. Where will Sony run now?
But hey, you go right on living the dream. Reality will get along just fine even if you continue to ignore it.
