For lenses, Sony's full lineup of 65 different E-mount models highlighted by their flagship G Master™ series continues to drive industry growth.Īdditionally, newer innovations such as the new Alpha 7 IV have started to set early sales records.

These have been complemented by the popularity of the Alpha 7 III, which continued to be the No. The success of the lineup of full-frame cameras, including the Alpha 7S, Alpha 7R and Alpha 9 series, has been paramount to Sony's strong sales numbers. 1 Mirrorless Lens Brand for 2021 in North America With this in mind, 2019 could prove to be a decisive year, especially for a company like Canon, who have arguably not done enough in 2018 to avert people’s gaze from Nikon and Sony, at least when it comes to full-frame mirrorless.Sony Electronics' is the No. Sony plays its cards closer to its chest than most, and is sure to have been watching both Canon and Nikon closely, so its next moves are difficult to predict, but they will be determined not to let either of these two older manufacturers regain too many mirrorless miles. What lies ahead?Īs with Nikon, Canon has launched a line-up of lenses to work natively with the new lens mount of the EOS R, the ZF series, but its roadmap is less clear than that of its rival, but it seems that, at some point in 2019, three f/2.8 lenses will be announced, in the form of a wide-angle zoom, a telephoto zoom, and a prime optic. Of course, in the real world, the sensor found in the Canon is much more than most people will ever require or even desire in terms of resolution, but in terms of leading the pack, it seemed that clear that this mantle belonged to Nikon.

However, Canon’s equivalent, the full-frame Canon EOS R, arrived a week or so later to comparatively little fanfare, and crucially, less decisively positive acclaim (but still a device that found its way into our best Canon camera guide) and a 30.3-megapixel sensor that fell a little short of the Nikon Z7’s 45.7-megapixel sensor. Speculation remained rife that a full-frame mirrorless model was on its way, though, especially when, during the middle of the year, Nikon launched a teaser campaign for what transpired to be not one but two full-frame mirrorless cameras, in the form of the Z7 and Z6. Neither of these cameras was exactly a headline grabber, and instead it was the innovations presented by the Speedlite 470EX-AI, featuring genuinely intriguing and effective auto functionality to take the guesswork out of bounce flash, that drew most attention at a press preview in London in February.Īlso launched at this time was another M-series camera, the 4K-enabled EOS M50, that demonstrated that Canon still had a definite eye on mirrorless, but as a 24.1-megapixel APS-C model, it was never going to provide any competition to Sony.

These APS-C sensor cameras, 24.1-megapixels and 18-megapixels respectively, Full HD 1080p video and sub-£400 prices appeared to be their chief selling-points.


Like Nikon, most expected Canon to move into the latter market in 2018, but the year began with the release of two traditional entry-level DSLRS, in the form of the EOS 2000D and the EOS 4000D. Its exploits into the world of mirrorless began in 2012 with the first EOS M, but this series of cameras could match neither Fujifilm’s Leica-esque aesthetics or Sony’s full-frame sensor size, as ushered in by the full-frame a7 in 2013.
