dilbert said:Well it is hard to see Canon maintaining its sales numbers without continued fire sales of (for example) the 5D3 at a discount of over $500 of the MSRP. Or one might say that such fire sales are evidence that vendors are struggling to sell 5D3 stock at MSRP and that Canon sales numbers will suffer if they don't happen.
Fire sale...hyperbolize much? As for sales numbers 'suffering' I just had a look at Amazon's dSLR sales rankings this busy holiday shopping season, and the top three best sellers are from....Canon (top four on the list, but the Canon T4i is #1 and #4, with different lenses). And while we all know the D800 is a much better camera (so telleth us the almighty DxOMark), and it's cheaper, too, the 5DIII is in the Top 20 (#14), and the D800 is not (#21). Canon does seem to be suffering badly, oh my. :
