It's weird to see OM-systems ahead of Fuji and Nikon in the MILC category.

I think price has a lot to do with it. Olympus has a lot of cheap cameras they sell off into the Japan market.

Nikon just sadly seems lost these days. I say that as a long time Canon fanboy. Always liked having a strong competitor in Nikon. As long as they finished second

Sony is the new Nikon.
At least the Z 8 seems to be doing well.

Seeing the comments about APS-C sales, it seems that @neuroanatomist knew more about the market for EOS-M than Canon execs despite his arguing that they know more than us!

1. Sony (34% share)
2. Canon (28.3% share)
3. OM Digital (12.5% share)

Will be interesting how this part of the market will change in 2024 with R10, R50 and R100 released...
But of course these numbers and Sony at #1 show that Canon is d... no, I won't say it

Canon *cough* must release an M300 to avert the doooooooooooooooooom!

I suspect a digic X powered M300 with a 15-45 kit lens would still sell very well in 2024. I’m very curious what Canon has in store for that type of form factor in the RF mount. The R8+28mm is very pocketable, but it is enormous compared to the M+22mm.

Meh. Routine attention to a small market research document. Small relative importance on a global scale. Take the numbers with a grain of salt.

IMO Nikon has some better lenses. Especially in the telephoto category. And in the midrange category.

But canon has a much better portfolio of camera bodies. The AF with canon bodies has been exemplary, from what I’ve used.

That’s a gross oversimplification. But it’s been my experience from trying a smattering of stuff across both sides of the aisle.
