Its 90-95 percent Canon or Canon mount equipment. Is the migration to RF beginning or is it mostly people totally jumping ship. Its defiantly a buyers market for Canon shooters. I was browsing it and was like WOW!
It’s your imagination!
But good try in politicizing your perceived feelings!!! LoL
When I went digital in 08(yes, I’m a digital newcomer), I went with Canon, mainly for 3 reasons. 1, the AF worked. 2, Canon had IS/VR on ALL the big lenses, and 3, they had the FASTEST lenses, should have a need for speed.
BUT, though not a technical reason, it was a VERY welcome side effect that since an overwhelming MAJORITY of photographers used Canon, sites like eBay and Craig’s List are always loaded with good deals on used Canon gear, both lenses and bodies.
I check the BS here every day and mostly see lots of Mkl types of lenses and bodies for sale. Most of it is a generation back. Not a whole lot of current stuff.
Keep in mind that the average photography website is populated with retirees, they more than anyone else are trying to lighten their loads.
My last professional assignment was the Tour of California bike race last month. I saw almost NO mirrorless there, just the same old army of big white lenses, an occasional black one and one awkward off white Sony offering!!!
So no, I have not seen the ML revolution yet, not in the pro ranks anyway!
