So you think Nikon and Sony are out-innovating Canon ??? Maybe not.
I see a contentious argument looming over this by the usual crowd. How fun.

Not sure about that. Nikon developed the automatic AF fine tuning feature found in the D5, D500, and D850. I have a D500. It works great - no test targets needed. AF fine tuning can be done in the field at any camera to subject distance. I don't think Canon has that yet.
All camera manufacturers have the same issue, which is how to best demonstrate why they are still better than a cell phone camera.

I like Nikon and I am a Nikon user for more than 40 years but I think Nikon has very few innovations. Nikon tends to mostly use tried and true technologies.
Over the years, about the only Nikon innovations I know of is there matrix metering.
Well,the important thing is that Canon's vast superiority in garnering patents makes photographers who use that brand of camera even better at the craft! I mean, that's the point of all this pointless braying, right? You take better pictures because the company that manufactures the tool has more certificates on their wall?

I guess the question is "patents on what?" Hu?, why does my Sony focus faster and more accurately than anything Canon currently has to offer?😂
My pin hole camera take excellent pictures. Cost: a pin and a box.
