WOW .. its sooo exciting news, I actually own 5D Mk III
Where is Nikon and Sony, no where ?
Undoubtedly the 5D Makr III is used by a big number of users.
That Means
1. Canon 5D Mark III is one of the best product from Canon
2. A perfect balance between price and specification
3. Canon after sale support service is excellent and worldwide
I am really surprised to see the big failure of my favourite brand, It is very clear that Nikon failed to make space among photographers worldwide as Canon.
I own a 5D3, is has some definite shortfalls but not difficult to workaround. Best camera I have ever owned.
No. This means photographers using Canon 5d iii/ii; 6D are taking and uploading more photos .. not necessarily more cameras being used per say. Vast majority of consumer grade cameras Canon Rebels, XXDs, Nikon DXXXX etc. are used by individuals who are still perfecting their photography skills and most probably have not started posting on these sites.
It means more expert photographers are using Canon full frame DSLRs vs. any other brand.
PS: I aspire to get into the 5D club.
Canonfan is right, there are cams that are sold more often, but Canon 5D MkIII is used more often; especially for uploading photos.
I am sure smartphones are used even more, but photos may be uploaded to sites which Can did not look at. But to be honest, serious photographers will upload to FLICKR, 500px or the like.
Check out the photos of groups of pro photographers shooting sporting or political events. Seems as if they ALL have Canons.
