BCN rankings have been published. Canon ranks first for DLSR and compact cameras. What could likely surprise some hardcore Canon smashers is that the company ranks third for mirrorless camera sales. The [shoplink 29518]EOS M3[/shoplink] appears to be a well selling camera.

Some points for DSLRs against mirrorless cameras
At Nikon’s D5 presentation and press conference, the company gave some good points why a (d)SLR is better than mirrorless camera. I think there are some valid arguments in the video. The pro-dSLR talk starts around minute 8.
The Nikon D5 is the company’s new flagship, and does 4K worse than the 4 years old Canon EOS-1D C.
