Sorry current Industry "Market Share" Mike In the US, world or Japan? The OP is talking about the Japanese market, primarily. From the linked story: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...y-cameras.html "Mirrorless cameras accounted for 40.5 percent of SLR sales in [Japan] in July, surging from 5 percent in early 2009, according to BCN. Globally, sales of mirrorless cameras surged fivefold to 2.1 million units in 2010, and their share of the overall SLR market may climb to 23 percent in 2011 from 16 percent, according to Macquarie Group Ltd. estimates last month. .... Mirrorless cameras have yet to catch on outside of Japan, allowing Canon to hang on to an estimated 45 percent share of the global market for SLRs. Nikon accounts for about 30 percent, according to researcher IDC." Heh: Mirrorless cameras accounted for 40.5 percent of SLR sales" -mirrorless aren't SLRS! ;-) |

That sounds too close to "hopey-changey stuff." |

Best version I've heard is "EVIL": Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens. Somehow I doubt it'll catch on; but it's my favorite and I'm going to keep pushing it whenever I can. Miracles are possible! After all, "SCSI" is pronounced "scuzzy" :-). |

Somehow I doubt it'll catch on; It won't, for obvious reasons, except among people who don't like them. but it's my favorite and I'm going to keep pushing it whenever I can. Miracles are possible! After all, "SCSI" is pronounced "scuzzy" :-). Yes, but "scuzzy" is not such a commonly understood word as "evil." A problem with "EVIL" is that everyone who uses it in connection with ILCs seems to be doing so with a smirk. Good luck with your dedication to the project, but it will never catch on. :-) |

Best version I've heard is "EVIL": Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens. Somehow I doubt it'll catch on Here in the UK, the camera importers and photography magazine editors seem to have agreed on "Compact System Cameras" or CSCs. Whether the buying public will adopt it is another matter. ;-) I don't think it works. "System camera" implies a camera with some number of dedicated accessories such as lenses, flash units, remote controls, etc. In those terms, my Coolpix 8700 and 8800 are system cameras, and I think it is reasonable to call them such. Lens interchangeability is what sets the ILCs apart. When the Nikon ILC appears it will probably not be as much of a "compact system camera" as my old 8700, really. |
