Das ging ja schneller als gedacht. Offenbar ist Sony im weltweiten Geschäft mit Systemkameras (DSLR + DSLM) an Nikon vorbeigezogen (auf Basis des Umsatz).
"In terms of being a true leader in the market, we were shown market data indicating that Sony now is in fact solidly in the #2 spot for interchangeable-lens camera sales both globally and in several major markets, including the US -- and not just for a single month, here or there. We were only allowed to share some very limited quotes from the market-research firm producing the numbers (because the other companies Sony is competing against are the research firm's customers as well), but the trends and monthly sales volume numbers were very clear. I'm comfortable saying that Sony is now the #2 company in the interchangeable-lens camera business, based on the overall dollar (or Yen?) value of their sales."

Wer hätte das gedacht als Sony das DSLR-Geschäft von Minolta übernommen hat?
Edit:
Imaging-Resource hat die Aussage irizwischen revidiert. Jetzt heißt es plötzlich Sony plant die Nr. 2 zu werden. Etwas sonderbar.
"Correction, 5:36PM: The note above originally claimed Sony was #2 in overall ILC sales, when in fact they are only planning to claim they are #2 in full-frame cameras YTD. Sony clarified the statement on their position in the market and the article has been updated as such."
