You lost me. What's the point to this post? More people use Sony??

Who cares (other than the camera equipment companies and others affiliated with the industry)? The herd mentality found on this site is generally more misleading than helpful and should be taken with a grain (or is it noise) of salt. Conventional wisdom usually isn't.

It's a way for som to justify their choice

I didn't say all...

Sony owns 42% of the sensor market. Canon has 1%.

Sony has avenues of revenue across the market...like an octopus.

In just over a decade too.


Jeez, you really screwed up those quotes.

I used Canon gear for 40 years. In 2918 I wanted to go mirrorless and did extensive hands on research. To me, ergonomics was as important as image quality. I chose a brand that I never would have considered in the past. I chose a Fujifilm X-T3 and I still have no regrets.
What's important is that you choose a camera that you feel is right for you and not be swayed by sterile lab reviews or by people who obviously will reccomend what they use.


In 2918 the entire concept will be moot. We’ll be bio mechanical beings with micro-telephoto eyesight capable of zooming from seeing details of bacteria to identifying faces on mars and we’ll be capable of projecting those holographic images out our anuses.

I don’t plan on quitting. I’ll just be using the advanced transportation available by then to enter a chrono-synclastic infundibulum and travel to Titan and spend time with the Sirens.

[quote=gwilliams6]Oh with Associated Press exclusively using Sony gear for all its staff photographers and videographers worldwide, you can be sure there will be many Sony A9III, A1, A9II shooting at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, along with Sony shooters from Gannett Media and foreign media.

As Canon fanboys dont want you to know, the Top News Services in the world, including Associated Press; Canadian Press; UK's Top News Service, all Gannett Media including USA Today have ALL moved exclusively to Sony mirrorless gear for all their staff photographers and staff videographers, worldwide, just a fact.

AFP (Agence France Presse) helped develop and test the Nikon Z9 and they use Nikon Z9/Z8 for their staffers.

None of these top professional News Services chose Canon mirrorless for their staffers, none, just a fact.. Stringers/freelancers use whatever brand gear they personally own.


You do realize businesses go out to bid. I work for a major TV network and the last round was Sony. Before that was Panasonic. It's not that brand A is so much better than Brand B. The fact is a bean counter somewhere figured out how to hold on to more beans. As a professional photographer I really don't care, I can make TV with whatever they want to give me. Professional still photogs are the same. They may not be happy with what they're given but they'll make great photographs with whatever.

I'd rather get all my toenails plucked one by one, slowly, with needle nose pliers, than get any Sony camera equipment. Who cares what they are using on the sidelines at events? It's interesting but that only means to me they are all lemmings. Ok let the bar fight begin!

Two nights ago I did a gig at a Chamber of Commerce event at a very high end community center. I was hired by the chamber, as was a social media guy, and a video guy. There was also an independent person taking photos. What we all had in common (and this has never happened before!) was we were all using Sony equipment. Now I know this will ruffle the gentle feathers of so many on this blog, but the reality is that market share is everything, and I as a Sony shooter am even amazed at how much is changing in the professional sphere. Years ago it was rare to find a pro shooting Sony, and now it seems that we are the majority. For there to be four image makers at an event and all of them using Sony had me pretty shocked. People vote with their feet and their money, and the other brands have to be on notice to up their game.

AP now uses Sony exclusively
