It's basically a completely superfluous
much like sony's complete lineup if you are so focused on NA.
sony states that they have a little over 50% of the NA marketshare on mirrorless which means they only shipped around 160,000 cameras to NA so far this year.
that's versus what .. 750,000 to 900,000 canon cameras?
and unnecessary camera, much like the Sony A5100 is right now. Speaking of which, the NEX-5T was a predecessor to that model, and I think it speaks volumes that the enthusiast-orientedcamera is now the best seller
actually it's because sony removed the mass discount they had on the NEX-5T and it's back to list
so no, it speaks volumes more about sony's pricing.
, in terms of how the market is maturing.
Not really - see above.
A best seller in a niche market with only 16% overall marketshare.. if that's your idea of success than have at it. good luck with that. of which sony only has somewhere around > 50% of. so a 8% to 10% overall markshare. lol. fun fact, they actually had at one time around a 15% overall marketshare. they haven't even gotten back up to that. but yes, carry on with mirrorless!
the thing is, unlike most other camera companies (outside of nikon and fuji - because for fuji it's a hobby), canon can afford to position a camera in a segment it feels like and profits be damned, whereas the others do not have the luxury.
of course, you like sony economics were they are actually losing mount marketshare, but increasing "virtual" profits.
I would love to know how you think that's a winning proposition.
