Canon USA is claiming the #1 spot in mirrorleess cameras, full-frame mirrorless cameras, interchangeable lens cameras and lenses. There will be the Grinch's that will suggest its all the EOS R100 sales.
Who cares?
Once you get the customer into your system, that's a customer you're more likely to sell your wares to down the road.
We look forward to the Sony announcement of “We're #1!” shortly.
This comes on the same day that Canon released their finacials for fiscal year 2024, and it was a pretty good year for most of their business.

Its tired
It's a new year, please get something new
Where have they gone to?
*Except for the R100, and if you look in the relevant comment sections, you’ll find plenty of mentions about the evil hammer.
Yeah, I think Canon is at least 3rd best rn.
1. Sony
…
2. Nikon
3. Canon
Not bad I guess, but still room for improvement.
But I think their camera lineup is much better than their lens lineup.
Did you even read what I wrote? Show me an affordable Nikon wide-angle zoom for example? The Nikon/Tamron 17-28 is twice the price of the Canon 15-30 and less wide, while the 14-30 F4 is 3 times as expensive.
[crickets chirping]
And I agree those lenses are some nice budget options, that’s why I think Canon has the 3rd best lens lineup.
The Nikon/Tamron is f/2.8 though…
Still missing 2mm on the wide end, but those zooms are faster and only two lenses, so less lens switching 😉
I would prefer having two (faster) lenses covering these focal lengths instead of three. Too much lens switching… but probably I wouldn’t buy any of these lenses 😆
What's the use of a wider aperture if its use is extremely limited ?
