Swiss store openly shared the sales data of the past years: “Canon, the former king of cameras, ceded its crown to Sony”
The Swiss store Digitech.ch share
Above you can see how Sony took over the lead in 2019. Not they hold a market share of 28.1 per cent. The real suprise here is that Kodak and Agfa are selling more cameras than Panasonic, Fuji or Nikon! The reason might be the recent increase in interest for disposable film cameras.
When it comes to lenses Canon leads the pack. Obviously Canon has a closed mount system and Sigma/Tamron cannot make lenses for them. So it’s kind of obvious that Sony doens’t take the lead because of the many E-mount lenses that Sigma and Tamron are selling right now.

APS-C cameras are the most sold at Digitech.

What’s your opinion: Should Sony kill the A7s line and focus on the FX3II only?
So folks, If you are waiting for me to share RELIABLE info about the Sony A7sIV I have to disappoint you. I really got nothing from trusted sources yet about this camera. All I know is that a couple of BIG cameras will be announced during the second half of the year with only the ZV-E10II coming before that in May/June.
So just for the sake of discussion: What’s your opinion on the possibility of merging the FX3 and A7s into one camera? They are both extremely similar when it comes to tech they use and the customer basis they serve. Yes, the A7s has an integrated viewfinder and yes the FX3 has an activa cooling system that makes it more bulky. But I wonder if a new FX3II with attachable electronic viewfinder would be a more ideal solution.
Loading ...Curiosity: Techinsight Sony A9III tear down shows it uses a new “IMX810AQL” sensor
Techninsights checked the inside of the Sony A9III and found out the sensor name is “IMX810AQL”. The important take away here is that this sensor is NOT listed at Sony Semicron. Which means it’s yet not available for sale to third party companies. So for now it seems Nikon and others will not have access to it.

How the Sony A1 feels after the firmware update containing some bugs :)
This is how your Sony A1 feels after the firmware update containing some bugs :) Joke’s aside, I am sure Sony is working hard to fix the issues regarding wifi connections, autofocus inconsistency, battery drain. Hopefully a fix is coming within this month!
One more thing: The A9III firmware update which was originally scheduled for an April 8 launch has been postponed to end of April. But now let’s see if Sony can keep that promise or if they will delay the launch to make sure there are no bugs.
