Canon ok , Nikon ok , Pentax lol nothing up with their gear but as a company they have been sold from pillar to post and scrape by with a small share of the market

@Frank
I am no fan of Canon or Nikon but considering how relatively poor their offerings in mirror less are ( at least the Nikon has genuine fast focus I have used a Bud,s.) they have actually made a decent chunk of the market share considering they are little more than place holders . In fact Nikon see s to be the only camera maker in profit . DSLRs make up so much of their turn over that mirror less is just a side issue at the moment. I expect they will have proper system iILC,s out soon and then it will be game on

No, most ppl is most parts of the world us ps cameras, ps mega zoom cameras, pas video cameras, and dslrs. Sony can be number 1 in mirrorless cameras sold, but what good is it if the market share is a teeny tiny one? Hey, you can be the most handsome one in a room of 5 people but that doesnt mean a whole lot.
