Sony Is #1 In Japan
Dec 4, 2019 08:37:21 #
"Sony has overtaken Canon and Nikon to claim the top slot for full-frame camera market share in Japan, according to BCN Ranking. Sony showed growth in the overall full-frame, APS-C and fixed-lens digital camera categories from November 2018 to October 2019, as well.
Ultimately, Sony saw its total full-frame camera market share in Japan increase from 31.6% to 38%, while Canon was bumped down to second place at 36% market share compared to last year's 37.8%. Nikon came in at 24% of the full-frame market, a decrease from last year's 29.1%."
Copied from DPR, their link is easy to find if you want to read the entire article.
What does this mean for existing camera owners...probably very little...just trivia.

Well, it apparently means they will have another pointless topic to debate and discuss endlessly rather than actually going out and taking photos...
So that said, excuse me for going out to take photos.

to me at 81, I can read about the new stuff, keep my money in my pocket, and consentrate on using what I now have.

Not so fast;
From the Nikon Rumors web site; What many websites forgot to mention is that this data is only from the Japanese market (not worldwide) and is collected only from a fraction of the retailers in Japan that sell photo equipment. The report is also for only full-frame cameras and As usual, Thom Hogan has a much better and deeper explanation/analysis of the report in his article "Internet Declares Sony the Winner"

Well they didn't imply anything other than what was stated. No one said "Internet Declares Sony the Winner" that other than Hogan and you know he is a Nikon Fanboy.

Yes it means nothing to you many of us that are settled in to their current equipment but it would be an over statement to say it means nothing. Its just information based on some metric in Japan.

Sony has overtaken Canon and Nikon to claim the top slot for full-frame camera market share in Japan That is tantamount to declaring a winner.
If you have read Hogan over the past several years and his criticisms of Nikon you should find it hard to call him a fanboy. In any case a tiny sample of the entire Japanese market can hardly be called a factual representation.
Personally I have found DPR over the past year to have begun looking like a Sony "fanboy" with less positive coverage of both Canon and Nikon than before.
Could it be Sony gives their dealers a better profit margin?
