Are DSLRs no longer cameras now?
From the data posted above, it looks like Canon is already within 4 points of Sony's share in mirrorless, whereas Sony sells essentially no DSLRs. (The reason Canon is still number in ILCs overall.)
It doesn't take much insight to imagine that more of those Canon DSLR owners will convert to Canon mirrorless in the future than to Sony mirrorless.
I hate to sound like a brand cheerleader, but you can't assume that Sony's "#1 in mirrorless" will ever translate to "#1 overall".
Not to mention Canon's production capacity's split between EF & RF mount during this ~8 year transition.
To me the number of Sony mirrorless body & lens SKUs is the target that both RF & Z mounts are are aiming for.
Many here are complaining about missing lenses in Canon & Nikon's mirrorless lens lineup. Be patient, these will be come out as the EF & F mount lenses had them.
They aren't a priority for both or either reasons
- they sell slow
- margins are thinner
Timeline for those who may not know
Sony
- 2010: 1st APS-C E mount body
- 2013: 1st Full frame E mount body
Canon
- 2018: 1st Full frame RF mount body
- 2022: 1st APS-C RF mount body
Nikon
- 2018: 1st Full frame RF mount body
- 2019: 1st APS-C RF mount body

What does anyone expect when they started their transition 8 years after Sony's?
