Sony is great at two things, marketing and sensor development. Their marketing is so great that everyone assumes they have 90% market share, where the reality is that Canon has approximately doubly Sony's market share.

Sony makes top notch sensors and fairly mediocre cameras, and sensor development is something that has been leapfrogged multiple times in history.

Nikon is the one that has a decent chance of dethroning Canon, unless canon ups their RF lens game.



I have certainly heard knocks against Sony cameras' reliability.

I don't assume anything about their market share; just the specs they currently offer. I wish Canon were more competitive for video shooters.

We'll see what happens with Nikon & Red.
