Looks like you might get screwed if you order an OtterBox case from them.

As you know, aggregate unit sales data are only published periodically by BCN (usually every 6 months). Nevertheless, one can get an idea of which companies are doing well by how many of their...

CIPA data for Jan-Mar show 605,179 mirrorless produced out of 3,136,053 ILCs produced= 18.8% Shipment data for Jan-Mar show  605,179 out of 3,136,053 =...

CIPA data indicate less than 1% difference in price per MFT camera in first quarter of 2013 versus first quarter of 2012. This suggests that the success of the E-M5 was countered by sales at...

Unlike Jim Pilcher, you apparently can't be bothered to take the time to back up your claims. Imo, your credibility f your claims suffers when you can't take the trouble to back up your claims.

No increase in market share over the past year.  BCN data suggest that the EOS-M has increased in popularity recently.  With EOS-M comprising 3 of the top 4 mirrorless cameras in Japan in April,...

As usual, you can't be bothered to provide sources to support you claims.

Validity here means truth, so I was agreeing with OP. What made you think I included myself among those who think Asians prefer small? I was pointing out that they are misinformed.

While you at it, you might want to comment on the BCN data for April's ILC unit sales in Japan (the country where mirrorless has achieved the most popularity). Canon: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th...

I don't think you read my comment closely. I concur with the your opinion and that of the OP.  My point was the I have seen numerous posts here by other people who have bought into the false...

I agree. After all, this is the company that puts making money from lens hoods over customer relations. It also probably depends on when Olympus plans on releasing a successor to the E-M5. The more...

I have my doubts about m43 users. I'm on my third mFT camera and don't think it makes much sense to own both the E-M5 and the E-P5. I prefer to shoot with an EVF and, after using the excellent VF-2...

I guess you also think 60 consecutive months of data would also be meaningless because n=5 for each month Sample sizes of 30 have low statistical power and are likely to result in Type II errors...

Hi Jim, I think your assessment is spot on. Results for the the most recent quarter (and fiscal year) should be out in the next week or two. CIPA data suggest that the news won't be good, but we...

Thanks for catching this. Perhaps Thom should write a companion article about the drop in DSLR sales on bythom.com Price per unit was essentially unchanged (up less than 1%): 33,056 yen in the...

Possibly. Is this what you think is happening? Of course, I know that your answer is that it is too soon to tell and that so far we have "meaningless" data.    While I share your opinion about...

If you begin with the observation that mirrorless sales have flattened, I would be interested in knowing how you would write an article that ends up with exactly the opposite conclusion. Btw, I...

No he doesn't. In fact, Thom has stopped using a DX camera because he feels that the E-M5 is sufficiently close enough in IQ that its lighter weight makes it a much better option for situations...

i think you will find that most people here aren't open to accepting the validity of what you observed.  Many of the Westerners who post here are under the impression that Asians prefer smaller...

GM just announced a record 9.6% sales increase in China, led by sales of Buicks. Large cars have become a status symbol in China because they allow those with wealth to differentiate...
