I only disagree in one regard; camera makers seem to be playing "me-too" offering what the others are, and not much more. 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.

decrease and increase of what?

if you mean users, both are round off errors to smartphone cameras.

better yet, ignore it.

Just read the first post starting this thread, dumbass.

Refuge of someone who's lost an argument.

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.

fit it however you want. it's still a roundoff error compared to
smartphones.

be sure to display the image at its full resolution, not scaled to the

slrs and mirrorless *combined* are *under* 1% of cameras sold.

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.

Come back in a few years, and there won't be
a mirror to be seen anywhere.
