Canon is #1 in global market share for digital cameras in 2020, and their share grew
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
The M50 still sells well because it’s old and relatively inexpensive. Same is true for the 250D.

the M series sells well in countries like Japan. it's success is due to the Canon brand. don't think it'll do well if its from another brand.
Canon knows that. That's why they don't spend too much effort. The only reason they ventured into FF MILC is market.. there is a growing demand for it and users started shifting. They knew another new 7D, 5D model won't change the trend. the 1D is niche and there are still demand for it. the 7D, 5D users have broad needs and tend to flow with the trend.
the M series especially M50 is what gives them the 'hey we own the large market'. the brand and this combo still has momentum i.e. it's like a large oil tanker ship... it takes some distance to stop for a fully loaded tanker to stop but eventually it stops. Canon is thinking about this and this is why they're 'throwing' suggestion about R-APSC to CR and see the feedback. I don't think it's economical to run several mounts, they'll like to consolidate in the long run. M series would be in the chopping board. Otherwise, we would have seen tons of M series lens from Canon. the R-APSC would be like the Z DX from Nikon. With a lot of good Z FX lens and low quality Z DX lens, people are wondering why should they buy a Z DX since they can crop and achieve the same in FF.
Another approach for Canon is to stick with FF MILC and come up with very low priced cameras. the problem with low priced FF cameras are cost... the profit margin in these cameras must be low plus it'll effect their mid to high FF MILC sales. So, they'll cripple the lower end models to the max but competitors are offering well priced better featured low end models. Canon is in a little fix now for solutions for lower end MILC market.

A 40% reduction in global sales is a pretty big hit, for most people a modern smartphone is good enough these days except for telephoto, I think many who have had DSLR's and especially point and shoots that are a couple of generations old are just sticking with the smartphone now.

I don’t see the update for it being that bad tbh. I went from the M5 to the M50 Mark II and it was so much better in many ways, mainly AF.
I see the M bodies as being like the Rebel line, they aren’t really meant to be upgraded from model to model but that might just be me.

I tried to upgrade from the Rebel line to EOS 7D, 6D and 5D, found the latter cameras too heavy and went back to the Rebel line.
I am hoping there will be an upgrade to M50 Mark II (sensor-wise) or M6 Mark II (AF-wise)... otherwise, the M50 Mark II will be my next camera. I played with a copy of M50 Mark II in a store and was mighty impressed with its AF.

I predict further decline in Nikon's market share, with Canon and Sony taking over.

Is any one else having a problem with their r6 shutter not closing when changing lenses? I have to turn the camera off and the change lenses. This problem started after I installed the new update.

50% market share in 2021, Canon is dooomed. It will be hard to improve on 50% market share.
Sad to see Nikon so far behind. They still make very good cameras but have lost alot of their customers.
Competition has been good for us. in terms of driving improvements.
Lack of competition would not be.
The next few years will be interesting. I'm surprised Sony haven't made more progress.
It would be interesting to see the Full Frame Mirrorless split between the brands.

Mmm the numbers are highly misleading as most of Canon sales comes from entry level dslr kits. On the full frame mirrorless front (where the good profit margins are) canon is still a distant No2 to Sony.
