>>4354605Nikon fucking died because sony killed them. Sony killed them by releasing gear that was small and capable. Sony knew that what professionals LIKE doesn't matter, because they're getting the job done first and having fun last, but what normal people who arent spamming snapshits at big events LIKE does matter because they are having fun first and being required by their employer to shoot a 24-70/70-200 combo NEVER.
Nikon will likely never regain their #2 spot. All things considered they are heading towards #4, fast. If fuji fixes autofocus, and reaching parity with nikons is not a challenge (they are no sony. there are real time comparisons showing the Z8/Z9 AF system getting mogged by the canon R8!), it's most likely over for nikon after seeing the ZF and Z6III turn out to be disasters.
Same way fujifilm murdered micro four thirds as soon as they started adding IBIS.
