Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality

Canon UK Press Release
Canon Inc. today announces that the company’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and mirrorless cameras) have maintained the No. 1 share of the global market for 16 consecutive years from 2003 to 2018.
Canon develops the key imaging system components featured in its EOS series of interchangeable-lens cameras – CMOS image sensors, image processors and interchangeable lenses – under the core concept of ‘Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality’. Incorporating a wide-ranging product lineup – from high-performance flagship models that are highly trusted by professionals to entry-level models that allow users to enjoy high image quality shooting with easy operation – Canon continues to support the diverse needs of customers.
In 2003, the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS 300D. This groundbreaking camera, which was competitively priced and featured a compact, lightweight design, captured the top share of the global market and set the stage for growth in the digital SLR market. Since that time, Canon has continued to launch a range of groundbreaking products, including the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording.
In March 2018, Canon launched products such as the EOS M50 mirrorless camera and EOS 2000D DSLR, which allow entry-level users to effortlessly enjoy capturing professional-looking images. In striving to further expand its line-up, Canon has once again secured the leading share of the global market in 2018.
In September 2018, in pursuit of further expanding the boundaries of image capture and new possibilities in visual expression, Canon launched the EOS R mirrorless camera, equipped with a full-frame sensor, as part of the EOS R System, a new imaging system with lenses at its core. What’s more, in February 2019 Canon launched the EOS RP – a small, light and practical full-frame mirrorless camera with impressive image quality – and announced six new RF lenses, currently under development, as part of its plan to expand the EOS R System.
Canon will continue to refine its diverse imaging technologies based on its core optical technology to expand and create an even stronger EOS System that offers new avenues of image capture to meet the needs of increasingly diverse users and to promote the ever-growing photo and video culture.
https://global.canon/en/news/2019/20190327.htmlAlessandro Stanzani, Executive Vice President of Canon Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Europe, Middle East & Africa, commented, “In addition to maintaining the number one share of the global market, Canon has continued to maintain its leadership position in unit and value share of the digital camera market in EMEA. We are continuing to push the boundaries of optical innovation and these results demonstrate the appetite for new technologies and camera systems.”
Cool.

Because your post just screams for rebuttal;
16 years of proving P. T. Barnum correct.
Very respectful cheers and huzzahs for Canon. Wonder how soon before they buy out their other competitor (a.k.a. the “N” word).
Grats Canon, hope you still plan on EF lenses and bodies ;)

OK. But I do NIKON!
You guys rule this board. That means something :)
So, do they at least pay you for the advertising?
When you’re heavily invested in glass it's too expensive to switch brands, so of course the cameras that wear out the quickest are going to get the most sales.
That being said I will stick with my Nikon collection. When I first went from Pentax I checked and re-checked both Nikon and Canon and Canon did not measure up then and I really feel that it does not now. But that was a good commercial for Canon.

It proves that they have great marketing. I can think of far better cameras - that are also far from being #1 - I am not saying that Canon makes anything but great cameras, but they don't the #1 spot just because of their quality, which is surpassed by some others. They are there because of marketing, customer service, and other intangibles. On the other hand, non-Canon shooters understand that the word Canon is an acronym for Can't Afford Nikon Oh No.

Being #1 is sales does not equal being #1 in image quality. Which, at last check, was more up to the photographer than his/her equipment. And that fact will not change for the foreseeable future.
To each their own but I'll never understand.
