One of these nights I'll come up with a clever reply to that. But not tonight sadly.Hotel California strikes again! Not a peaceful easy feeling, I'll have to take it easy.

Re the relative sizes of Sony, Canon and Nikon. All the figures below are in billions of Yen. (Currently, 1 billion Yen = £7 million.)
Total sales in the most recent full year published: Sony 7603, Canon 3401, Nikon 749.
Sony breakdown: mobile phones 759, gaming 1650, imaging 580, home entertainment 1039, semiconductors 773, components 195, movies 903, music 648, financial services 1087.
Canon breakdown: office 1808, imaging 1095, industrial and others 498
Nikon breakdown: precision equipment 248, imaging 383, instruments 73, medical 20, other 24
Sony's semiconductors division makes imaging sensors and processors for cameras, but also sensors and stuff for mobile phones, tablets etc. and other things. I can't readily find a breakdown. I think it's likely that Canon's sales of imaging products are larger than Sony's sales of imaging products plus related semiconductors, but probably not by much, maybe 20% or so. Both clearly dwarf Nikon.
In very round numbers, imaging products account for 1/2 of Nikon's sales, 1/3 of Canon's sales, and 1/5 of Sony's "technology" sales (i.e. excluding movies, music and financial services).

And I think with the price of them you will be boosting a lot.Interesting stats.... I will have to buy more Sony GM lenses to boost the numbers lol

You have now turned the 6dii (not) owners thread into a Sony picture sharing thread.
I reckon they will lock and possibly delete it now!

It's been released for a week or more now and the comments from last few weeks have rammed up!

So only owners can post here?Yes, and 99.99% of the people commenting haven't seen one never mind actually shot with one.
it would be as quiet as the a9 thread if it was only owners posting. but there are better places for sony pics reallySo only owners can post here?
I could post some 5d4 pics! But I think lots of camera body specific thread die.it would be as quiet as the a9 thread if it was only owners posting. but there are better places for sony pics really
Or even the FE 100-400mm GM (not) owners thread.
A new thread when people actually have camera would be appreciated, however no need to delete the current one, quite entertaining in places.
As a complete aside, was it you that posted a great guide to recovering skies in pp/Lr, is so do you have a link?

I think we should do what we done on the sony threads and do a canon full frame body thread and a canon crop body thread
I think A9 deserved its own thread initially. I swear there was even a a7r2 dedicated thread.Is there a Sony crop thread? I thought it was just you and Riz who broke ranks to start your own A9 thread?
but this is on 20 pages without any owners so hardly dieing is itI could post some 5d4 pics! But I think lots of camera body specific thread die.

I like thisbut this is on 20 pages without any owners so hardly dieing is it
i think all this banter should be kept out of owners threads as its really hard to find good info in all the crap spoken. i would rather have short but usefull owners threads and seperate general crop/fullframe banter threads. if you actully like this camera there is so much rubbish spoken its hard to find the info in here. in the nikon 750 thread its the same pages of waffle to wade before finding the nuggats of good info.
I like this
Even if they do critic your work for lack of Dr. Who cares? So long as you ar know happy with your images
Less posting. More picture taking lads!
Half right. Took that shot using a mates 6d2. Tried to recover the shadows but couldn't. Rubbish camera. Picture quality is no better than my phoneIt's a good call but is that not a picture of a 5Div taken with a camera phone in a 6Dii thread? [emoji6]
