Canon Continues Marketshare Dominance in Japan

[scyrene]

I used to spend 8k to $10k per year on Canon dslr. Last 2yrs, I decided to switch to mirror less 100%, couldn't be happier with my a7rii,a7sii and GM lenses. Recently acquired x-t2 and some fast primes. I have to say, Fuji really know how to build cameras and lenses.

I spent zero dollar on Canon last 3yrs and more likely not anytime soon, especially new Fuji MF mirrorless system just got released. The prices are within reach for many of us.

To reiterate from Thom Hogan:

"This, of course, disturbs the fan boys, who expect that their maker's flagship—XT-2, EM-1II, GH5, A7rII, etc.—should be mopping up. That's not the way it works. Most of the camera buying action is at a much lower level. It's really the entry-consumer up to the mid-consumer levels that tend to speak to market share."

You clearly belong to the minority.

More than happy to be in minority. It's fun to see canon owners got excited on m5 technology.

With just m1 technology, canon still top 3 in mirrorless. That draws a very clear picture the group canon represents.

Again, while waiting for Canon ff mirrorless MF mirrorless is already here. Have fun in majority

Oh, I thought you'd been hacked or something. Sad.

The argument has always been, Canon is not doomed. Not that they're necessarily the best at anything (except selling cameras!), but that they are not doomed. Figures like these simply show that. You are welcome to buy whatever you want, and I hope you are happy with your choices. But those who come here and preach the doom of the biggest camera seller because it doesn't sell what they personally want are wrong, it's as simple as that.

who got that excited about it? it's nice that they improve but most of us are still waiting with bated breath for the 6D Mark II et all moreso than mirrorless.

A7RII? lol. good luck with that, then why are you here?
