Just few days ago we have published a report that Canon “Canon Profit Down – Lowered its annual sales forecast ” and similarly according to a article published at nikonrumor.com Nikon cuts yearly forecasts after getting reports of lower sales percentage and income in the first quarter of the year.
The big problem – Better & affordable alternatives available , Canikon already lost the compact camera market share after the introduction of high quality camera smartphones, now they are losing the DSLR market share too…
After the announcement of bunch of A7 series and other mirrorless camera photographers got a lot of option against DSLR, yes they lack of high quality lenses like Canon or Nikon…
Affordable & High Quality Alternatives of Cannikon
You can look at the image above, the Sony A7s features low-light sensitivity upto 409600 and 4K video recording option also available (with Full pixel readout)… and for all these features you have to pay 2 time less money than 1DX or D4s.
Canon 5D Mark III, Nikon D810 and Sony A7R are mid range Fullframe DSLRs.. But the Sony A7R provides a excellent option under affordable price point…. BTW Nikon D810 uses same sensor as of Sony A7R
Canon 6D and Nikon D610 are excellent entry level Fullframe camera, but Sony A7 gives you 179 AF point based Hybrid AF system that quickly acquire AF during any type of lighting condition .
APS-C DSLR vs Mirrorless
High-End APS-C DSLRs Buyers got many options now – Sony A6000 features world fastest AF, Olympus OMD E-M5 is a excellent compact M4/3 camera with 5-axis image stabilization system and extensive manual controls, +1 you also got many high quality M4/3 lenses to choose from, Fujifilm X-T1 AF system and image quality both are better than 70D and Nikon D7100.. Panasonic GH4 will give 4K recording option…

No Space for secondary DSLR – High End compacts grabbing the DSLRs sales – the Sony RX1/R fullrame compact, APS-C sensor based Fujifilm X100S, DP2 Quattro and Ricoh GR…. also attracted many professional shooters and grabbed the place of secondary DSLR or as a backup camera in their bag.

Canon and Nikon not changing with the change in market demand, people now need more light-weight, compact and affordable solution now.
Is this some sort of Sony add or what? Judging by Sony’s appalling financial results over the last few years, they have lost much more business overall then canon and Nikon combined! Welcome to the real world 🙂
Sony products are tempting toys, but lasting quality sucks. My lifetime experience with even the most expensive products was always disappointing. When guarantee period passes, always something breaks down. At the beginning is joy of using it followed by big disappointment. Never buy Sony again. Whatever it is. Short time lived joy-toys.
