You realize that you are quoting numbers for press people at a single event. Total sample size, 75 people. This is an infinitesimal small sample that has no relevance to the current market, and even less for the broader market going forward.
This from the website that published your data:
"That said, it's important to note that Photolari's 2017 graphs are based on only 36 out of 45 awarded photos. So while it's nice to compare 2017 to 2018 and draw grand conclusions about the camera market, this is probably more an exercise in bragging rights than an accurate representation of camera company health."
If you want real, important statistics go look at the recent quarterly results from the major brands. Important stuff there. That is where the World's view is most accurately represented.
Then look at the Current sales numbers for FF ICL cameras. Sony is well in front, and #1 in the World. That is just fact. How do you figure that Nikon is adding at a faster rate. Not only are more new FF users not choosing the traditional brands, existing FF camera users are switching.
Yes, there are more users of the traditional brands. They have been selling cameras for decades. Sony became #1 in only 5 years.
I am not trying to promote Sony here, or even say that Sony cameras are better. I am just trying to discuss a major disruption happening in the FF ICL camera industry. Sony just happens to be the protagonist (or antagonist, you pick) in this disruption.
My view is that we will look back at this period in the same way we look back at the film/digital disruption. It will be nest for all of us if Nikon, Canon, and others camera companies remain financially healthy and produce great cameras going forward.
