No matter what Sony releases, one rarely sees an A1 or A9 in any sporting venue. A crazy nonsensical menu system put them in the rear view mirror. Seriously, one can count them on one hand. If you see one at all.
Given that Sony provides cameras to the AP, it seems likely there would be plenty of them at major sporting events. Maybe you’re talking about minor/local sports, or maybe your counting skills need a little work.
After nearly 2 decades Sony hasn't made a dent in market share and actually lost ground. Now that Canon is releasing it's own stacked sensor devices, Sony mirrorless has basically been lapped.
Making asinine statements like that does wonders for your credibility. Even if numbers are hard for you (that counting problem I mentioned earlier), the simple fact that Sony took the #2 spot away from Nikon should make it obvious to anyone that Sony gained market share. In fact, Sony had 26% of the camera market in 2022, up from barely over 10% a decade ago and more than double Nikon’s 12% share.
Canon has made gains in mirrorless and is now the #1 MILC brand by units sold, but they’re ahead of Sony only by a very slim margin.
Try to get your facts straight, that really helps if you want to have an intelligent discussion. But then, maybe you don’t.
