Canon R3

I guess I touched a nerve there, Fast Glass, sorry.

Your context is clear. You want more MP, so should everyone. To get more MP, LOTS and LOTS of people are switching to Sony, Sony revolutionized the camera industry and anyone who doesn’t do what Sony is doing will be left behind. It’s a sentiment more commonly seen on DPReview, and as in this case, never backed up with any actual data. In fact, the data show the opposite is true. Canon remains the dominant market leader, with sales nearly equal to all others combined, and Canon continues to gain. Sony is gaining overall, but less than Canon. Nikon is the big loser over the past few years (and they’re hit harder by that at the corporate level, since cameras are ~1/3 of their business).

It’s hard when facts contradict our opinions, but that’s life. We can choose to change our opinions to match the facts, or we can continue to believe we’re right in the face of evidence to the contrary. It would be better if the latter attitude was restricted only to discussions of camera sales, but sadly that’s not the case and the country and the world are all the worse for it.

That said, I see no point in further discussion on this issue.
