The teleconverters that I am aware of were meant to be used with lenses from the same company making the teleconverters.
I assume those will come after third-party lenses.

Canon’s 2023 Financials

- Start date
I assume those will come after third-party lenses.
Canon's forecast for 2024 (compared to 2023) is that unit sales will be -3% and camera-only revenue will be +3.7%.

Impossible. It was made very clear right here in this forum that Canon totally ignores the entry-level market.Breaking News,for the second half of 2024:
"On top of this, we plan to increase the percentage of sales coming from entry-level products through the contribution of new products."

looks like Canon has reduced R3/R5 prices now (not cashback/rebates)
AUD4700 (USD2800 ex tax) based on recent email from Digital Camera Warehouse

This is a very telling report about how ultra fans are just a minuscule piece of the market share pie. We all crap on the R100 but it’s apparently driving sales enough to call out in the results. Does that irk me? Yes. I wish they would focus on things that I want as a late-stage consumer who is ready to upgrade my 35 1.4 third-party lens to a native 1.2, and who is waiting with baited breath for the 70-135 f/2. But at the same time, I am glad that canon is strategically smart enough to focus on what will drive sales so that the company is around long enough to eventually give me what I want. Good photography takes patience and so does good gear. But also hurry the F up and make those lenses, please.

I agree, their management proves to be quite smart. Interestingly, Canon's history was always one of seemingly conservative periods and then quite radical innovation leaps. It reminds me of the truly Japanese philosophy of taking a long time to focus on doing one thing as perfect as possible - and then do it rapidly in a sort of explosive flow. It's like Kyūdō, the Japanese art of archery.

Besides its camera business, Canon seems to really push forward, too. What really amazed me is their new nanoimprint tech for silicon chip production. They really challenge ASML's leading EUV (extreme ultra-violett) lithography if they can etablish it on this special market. W/o ASML, chip manufacturers such as TSMC couldn't make 3 nanometer structures. This is of course not the camera market, but it shows how innovative Canon as whole company is. I am impressed.

There are various posters here that are effectively asserting Canon's shit is gold because Canon has a 50% marketshare so therefore nothing Canon does stinks because people wouldn't buy Canon otherwise. Or in other words, the typical justification of Canon being holier than thou is "Canon has 50% of the market, therefore Canon is right and everything Canon has done is right because they've maintained that."

Sorry, everyone. I think I stepped in something rank on another thread and tracked it in here. Does anyone have some air freshener? Better yet, some troll spray?

I believe I know who you are talking about and I can assure you if he wrote that, then he was joking. He has posted more than once about at least a couple things Canon has done that rubbed him the wrong way. My since is he is attempting to be reasonable by looking at available data while other people tend to use their emotions. He's one of the most knowledgeable posters here and you would do well to at least think about what he posts.
If those weren't his exact words, you should be ashamed of yourself for using a dishonest tactic moving whatever the topic was into territory adults should avoid. However I've become accustomed to people on the internet doing such things, including someone who appeared to intentionally ignore the word, "almost" and respond as if I was an idiot - apparently for no point other than to argue. When I pointed out a number of things s/he did not think about or ignore, making his or her argument incorrect, he or she called me a jerk ending the reply with, something like, "if I'm wrong, I apologize," which I believe I already proved on the previous reply. I'm quite sick of this kind of this annoying and childish BS.

Maybe some are but for the most part, the market share is brought up when people claim that Canon is bad at the camera business.
People even go so far ar claiming that Canon is about to go out of business.

I don´t know if it has been posted here already, but Nikonrumors has posted the CIPA numbers for 2023. According to CIPA the total sales for 2023 were 6.001 million bodies (+1.25%), 9.639 million lenses (-0.92%). The 5,85mio estimate was pretty spot on.

Who is buying Canon DSLRs? Or any DSLRs? Which internet forums have people talkig about their new Canon DSLRs? Tiktok? Instagram?
Which stores, online or not, are showing top digital camera sales as including DSLRs?
Canon is selling 1500-2000 DSLRs a day, worldwide. These people are not buying MILC, they're buying DSLRs - a known obsolete technology.
Where are those people?
Are the details lost to noise because the individual store numbers are so low?
Does Canon provide any guidance on DSLR sales for various different geographic regions?
If it is limited to the top 40 countries by wealth, is 50/day/country unreasonable?

Nice comment but it isn't an answer to my question(s) about who is buying DSLRs. What's the target market? What forums are the buyers on? Where are they getting their advice?
Who can't resist a car analogy? There are still pros/cons with both ICE & EV. Why would you recommend someone buy a DSLR? Could you do that without justifying it based on cost? What technological advantage does a DSLR have over modern MILC?

Mostly people who want an inexpensive camera, didn’t think that needed to be spelled out but evidently I was wrong.
Forums? Advice? LOL. These are people walking into a Walmart and buying a “real camera“.
I don’t need to. They sell. That’s all the justification needed. The Yugo sold, too.

Probably two obvious kinds of customers. Those at entry level who never frequent forums (or maybe even the Internet) and those for whom a week or two of battery life at moderate usage is important. I can think of a number of professions in that second group who wouldn't even want you know that they owned a camera. It is reasonable to believe that sales to militaries almost anywhere on Earth are confidential and not publicly reported. It has been wisely said here a number of times that Canon knows more about the camera market than those of us tapping on keyboards (or the complete maniacs getting thumb cramps)
