There is no sense any of them are trying to dominate the other, which is what competition should result in. The Nikon and Canon offerings are very similar, with only a couple major differences. Unfortunately, the brick megapixel wall that is keeping these cameras below 50mp is one of the major stumbling blocks. There should be at this point 100mp FF cameras, 50mp APS and 40mp m4/3rds. Megapixels are a convenient metric but is their endless pursuit really helpful? I was impressed when Canon dropped the MPix between (iirc) the G11 and G12 |

Linear approximations are fine, but exponentials are more realistic.
Does anyone have the specific numbers for the two graphics ? Be happy to work the numbers and give the annual growths and declines. |

For any who might be curious, I ran an exponential analysis, and for :
DSLR, it's an annual decrease of 11.87 % and will be 4,330,000 in 2023 Mirrorless, it's an annual increase of 3.027 % and will be 4,351,300 in 2023 Looks to be about equal by 2023. Use any of this at your own risk. |

Looks to be about equal by 2023. Use any of this at your own risk. better yet, ignore it. |

decrease and increase of what? Just read the first post starting this thread, dumbass. better yet, ignore it. Refuge of someone who's lost an argument. |

quote it in your post for context. OK, with all due respect, here it is since it's apparently needed. The initial post related to the DSLR / Mirrorless issue, and referenced the following site : https://www.sansmirror.com/newsviews...irrorless.html Here there was an article, which presented among other things, an informative graphic related to DSLR and Mirrorless usage, in some scale from 4 to 16 million, over a 5 year period. In addition to yearly data points, linear expressions were presented. I expressed, that an exponential fit to the points was prefferable to a linear fit, and presented the exponential fits, which I computed from the graphic. |

I presented EXACTLY what I did.
It's hardly my fault if someone doesn't understand exponentials. These are forms that represents many things, where something follows change according to some rate, either negiaive ( i.e. - radioactive decay, leaking vessel, etc. ) or posative ( i.e. - interest earning account, etc. ). The DSLR / Mirrorless issue has both, and follows exponentials quite closely. I simply presented the relatinships as annual percentage rates. Round off isn't an issue here. In a nutshell, photography is more popular than it has ever been take a look at the rise of Instagram or Snapchat, for example, Skafisk tells PetaPixel. But literally 98.4% of the consumer cameras sold in 2016 were built into smartphones * only 0.8% were compacts, 0.5% DSLRs, and 0.2% mirrorless. Come back in a few years, and there won't be a mirror to be seen anywhere. |
