Re: Cherry picking sales

Amazon is only a part of camera sales. So without knowing how big is this part, you can't make any conclusions.

That's called cherry picking to make a point.

Using Amazon sales rankings is only slightly better than saying "the salesman at my local camera shop tells me they sell a lot of this model." But on a grand scale.

Amazon is pretty big, but I would be shocked if they sold more than 20% of all cameras sold in the world.  In many nations, they don't sell any cameras at all.

So their sales rankings become "anecdotal evidence" that must be taken in context.
