Lol. Sure, quoting yourself out of context really makes your case.
Fine...2017. In 2017, MILC shipments managed to struggle back to 2012 levels, helped by the recovery boost after the 2016 earthquake.
But you're right, MILC market share appears to be increasing. For 2016 it was 27%, and 2017 it was 35%. However, after the first 7 months of 2018 it's 37%. Oops, there goes your trend (remember that earthquake boost I mentioned?). At the YTD rate, MILC share should equal DSLR share in 2021 or so. That's equal market share, not the end of the DSLR.
As your namesake says, Winter is Coming. Just not very soon. As was said to your namesake, "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
where did i say that mirrorless market share has risen constantly over the past 5 years?
the only one quoting out of context is you.
you are maybe so old that the past is the only thing you think of. but the past is obviously not the future.
i speak about the future with nikon and canon as players in the FF mirrorless market.
with new mounts and some innovations coming to mirrorless only.
both mirrorless cameras are not even available on the market today.
you speak about a past where canon and nikon did everything to protect their DSLR sales.
Mehr als die Vergangenheit interessiert mich die Zukunft, denn in ihr gedenke ich zu leben.
MILC share should equal DSLR share in 2021 or so. That's equal market share, not the end of the DSLR.
who exactly said the DSLR will be dead in 3 years? it wasn´t me... i am sure.
by the way one country where mirrorless grew constantly is thailand.
thailand’s mirrorless camera market has seen consecutive year on year double digit growth for the past five years.
According to insights from a GfK consumer study on mirrorless cameras, 10% of the online population in Thailand had purchased a mirrorless camera in the past year, and the intention to purchase one in the next 12 months is even higher, at 14%—an indication that the robust market condition is likely to continue.
“Mirrorless cameras are rising in popularity among photography enthusiasts who are interested to take high quality images as they are light, compact and easy to operate; as well as more affordable than the higher-end DSLR,” highlighted Gerard Tan, Senior Director, Technology Retail Tracking, GfK Asia. “It is also interesting to highlight that in Thailand, mirrorless cameras are increasingly desirable as they are akin to luxury goods, which consumers tend to acquire to achieve a certain social status.”
The consumer study revealed that two-thirds of mirrorless camera users are within the age range of 18 to 35 years of age, and three-fifth of those who have the intention to purchase also fall within this age bracket.
