Yes, I notice the "may" which is why I gave the long explication.
Sony needed 5 years to go from crappy af to very good af. Canon needed one year to make the af of EOS R quite on par to Sony. Nikon seems a little behind even after their latest firmware update.
Yes, Sony claimed also the second place in terms of overal sales in SUA surpassing Nikon. Nikon released afordable glass for their mirrorless and postponed the pro lenses. Canon did the opposite in terms of lenses. If EOS R is that good as their first full frame mirrorless, when the pro body will come Sony will start to feel the pressure even more... If you look at Youtube videos and also on some internet discussion, there are more and more people who kept Canon lenses when they switched to Sony that now go back to Canon. The reason is the latest firmware update on the EOS R that made tracking on par with A7 III.
Not to mention that Nikon is all in when comes to businees side of things and they are forced to innovate to keep the second place in terms of worldwide sales.
