Huge holiday sale on Canon Cinema Cameras at B&H

LOL...we could only all wish it was that much then.

It was announced at $15,000 (US dollars) in 2012, look it up if you'd like.

Then over the next 7-8 years it dropped a few thousand every few years. I bought a brand new one from B&H for $6K like in 2016/17.

As an owner of a FX6 and an A1, I'd disagree with that statement. I much prefer the way AF works on the FX6. Have you had experience with both Sony mirrorless and cinema?

To get back to the topic: It looks like Sony has been much more successful in integrating their photo and video divisions than Canon. Sony has excellent autofocus and sensors - and that can be said for most of their photo, video and hybrid cameras.
 
I think Sony's leading the big three pack (Sony, Canon, Panasonic) but everything is much tighter now with mirrorless systems than it used to be (and those are really the main focus because if you take away the FX6 or the R5C/C70, what's left in that mid-tier cinema department...almost nothing and not many are buying a camera over $10K without house money).

All of the mirrorless cameras from every angle are so loaded that's it's difficult to choose a wrong one, especially with systems like Canon's R8 and Panasonic's S5 II closing the gap even more.

Canon has the highest share of camera sales by a long shot, but Sony reports that it has the highest sales of full frame mirrorless in North America. It would be interesting to see sales figures on individual cameras by market segment, but I couldn't find the data. Panasonic is below 5% of the market.
 
I meant as far as features and value, but regardless Canon was always #1 with everything - but I think the context is more relative than ever because something like having the highest sales with full fame mirrorless' right now in today's world in North America is huge.

The R5 - a7SIII - a7SII are probably in the top 5 of all time.

For cinema cameras, I'd say the C300, C300 Mark II and C200 are in the top 5 of all time (even with the higher prices of the first two because it was a different time and they were around for so long). Would love to know how the C70 and R5C did but I wouldn't think as well as the others.

I'd put my bet on the FS7 probably outselling everything of all time (video), 5D Mark II for DSLRs (general).

Panasonic's GH2 and GH4, easily in the top 5 for them. I guess starting late with full-frame mirrorless systems and having two Joe and Jane affordable cinema camera cameras over 15 years puts you in the below 5%.

[Obviously all personal speculation; no data behind anything.]
