2019 global camera market share numbers are out, Canon leads the way
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I know it was a humorous reply but...
No they can't there are printer identifiers on every piece of paper out of a high end printer so investigators know where it came from, and most printing software won't allow you to print copies of paper money anyway.

Legacy. Public (90%+ camera income) will go with the brand they trust most. Especially in unpredictable times. Especially with electronics. *The bru ha-ha over the R5/R6 release will not make a difference with ordinary folks. Nobody keeps up with NICHE news unless they're into it.
People go into a camera stores with a budget, and stick to it. While hanging around camera store, I've never heard people (90%) asking about Ibis, rolling shutter, DR, etc....
Canon got the camera esthetic SPOT ON. Their design is curved, flushed, robust. I think they've got most of the women customers.

A camera store? Where are there any camera stores anymore? None in Pittsburgh, not really; we have to drive to Ohio. Internet has taken its toll.

I hope they can hit a couple of home runs and drive the industry. 3 big players is better for us as consumers.

There definitely are camera stores at my city, although being the second largest city of Germany may make it a poor comparison to most other cities.
On one of my visits to one of the oldest such stores I witnessed a lady coming in, wanting to purchase a new Camera. She said the sales person that she would like to go with Canon, as she already had an old rebel and a kit lens in the past. I was pretty surprised when I heard them answer that she might want to consider other brands, as Canon had struggled to compete with newer offerings and her kit lens didn't tie her into the ecosystem. I didn't listen to the rest of the exchange.
The point here is, the endless 'Canon is doomed' talk may not really get through to people who don't visit forums to such a degree as us folks here. But it can still reach them in other ways.
On the other hand, I know two people who wanted to go for a better camera than their smartphone and ended up with Rebels (800D and 200D). They weren't influenced by me, so Canon's definitely still appealing to a lot of people. Obviously, the market share numbers are far better proof of this than anecdotes
Guess I don't really have a point here. Just wanted to share an experience regarding the existance of camera stores and people purchasing Canon.
In the twisted reality that is the internet, none of this matters anyway. Canon is doomed

I wonder about Fuji. Does their 4.7% cut give their shareholders a sufficient return on their investment to keep them in the game long term?
I don't pretend to know -- maybe the numbers are great. But in comparison, Nikon looks fantastic (based on this single metric.)

There are patterns of little yellow circles on most countries' paper money (it even has a nickname, EUrion), and any current-model printer or scanner will shut down when they see those patterns.
