As you Can see Canon is still able to grab a big market share, despite being a new Mirrorless Player in the market. For the fiscal (not calendar) year, Nikon puts their forecast ILC unit market share at (850/5,300) 16%. For the 2020 calendar year, Canon puts that ILC unit market share at (2.76/around 6) 46%. Sony doesn’t report unit sales of cameras.
Canon cash cow for the year 2020 was the Canon R5 & R6 Mirrorless models. We hope and expect Sony will bring out Sony A7 IV camera soon, to gain more consumer base in the market (A7S III isn’t in the reach of everyone). Nikon is trying hard (see the latest news here) and they will soon gain more market share in the near future for sure.
From Canon Inc.1Q 2021 Analyst Meeting Q&A Session Summary, it’s very clear that Canon is facing Semiconductor Shortage Due to the Current Situation. this may affect the supply of new Mirrorless cameras and upcoming ones too. They also hope the issue will get resolved by the year-end
“Q4. As risk factors, you cited increased costs for raw materials and semiconductors as
well as tight logistics. Are there any product segments where this will have a
disproportionately large impact?
A4. This affects all of our businesses as semiconductors are used in most of our products.
Semiconductor manufacturers are doing their utmost to try and resolve the shortage.
We are also taking steps to deal with the situation, such as adjusting product designs
and placing orders with different suppliers. Our latest forecast suggests that supply
shortages will continue through the third quarter. We hope to eliminate this by the end of the year.”

According to the latest news coming out from rumor mills, Nikon Z9 will not use a Sony-made sensor. The upcoming Nikon Z9 camera sensor is being made by TowerJazz. Nikon wants to lessen up their dependency on Sony.
From dpreviewfroum
“Because of these recent, contemporaneous developments, it seems reasonable to conclude that the Z9 will not be an “also-ran” mirrorless camera, but a “better than,” new-level offering. It appears Nikon is making a paradigm shift for its future, developing its own sensors completely, utilizing its own innovations, rather than “personalizing” existing Sony sensor design offerings.
While all of this is speculation at this point, admittedly, the evidence does seem to be funneling in this direction. Therefore, the Z9 will quite possibly be another benchmark for Nikon, in a whole new way. If the facts ultimately pan out as speculated, then the advent of the Z9 should be exciting for those utilizing other brands as well.”
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the rumor mills, Sony A6700 / A7000 (High-End APS-C Mirrorless Camera) announcement may happen in May 2021. Sources of the rumor mill suggest the camera will feature a 30mp APS-C EXMOR CMOS Sensor.
As usual before the official announcement of any camera, we generally get leaked images and specifications of the camera. So, if the rumor is true then for sure images and specs of the camera should be available to us in the first or 2nd week of May 2021.
Sony recently registered a new camera with the model code “WW734234”. We are expecting its Sony A7 IV camera. The Registered “WW734234” camera uses 5.1 Ghz WiFi Module which is begin used by Sony Fullframe Professional camera.
Sony’s “WW734234” has been registered with an overseas certification body. Equipped with Wi-Fi (5GHz / 2.4GHz) and Bluetooth. The ILCE-7RM4A announced the other day is “WW447485” and “WW778752”, and the ILCE-7RM3A is “WW186333”, so the unannounced “WW356015” (Wi-Fi [2.4GHz] / Bluetooth) and 2 models have been registered this time.
We will post an update soon as we get any leaked images and specifications of the upcoming camera.
