For what it's worth

There are many phtographers who like to segregate themselves into so called camps. Some are in the Canon camp and some are in the Nikon camp and some are...you get my meaning. I think that it's all silly but if it makes them happy who am I to judge. This will make the canonites very happy.

Canon is the Most Popular Camera Brand Says Survey

The folks over at Canon have reason to celebrate today as the online buying assistant Sortable have revealed that an even third of customers set out to buy Canon cameras. That's a cool 7% over Nikon, which is favored by 26% of users.

What's particularly interesting about the data that Sortable compiled is that customers are evenly split when it comes to point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras. 36% searched specifically for DSLRs, 36% searched specifically for point-and-shoots and 22% looked for mirrorless cameras. That leaves 6% of buyers who didn't have a preference.

Sortable says that while Canon clearly holds the lead, the increased focus on mirrorless cameras could result in other companies making a legitimate run at the top spot.
