Oh my, I can't stand that guy's voice/accent.

Anyway, surprised? The number of cameras sold is much higher, it's just that they are now placed in smartphones.

Yes, because the booming microstock industry was the main reason for millions of DSLRs and compact cameras sold throughout the years.

Very unlikely. Just imagine crowded place near the Eiffel tower or some air show. Just several people from thousands ones with cameras would contribute to microstock. The most would quietly bury those terabytes on their computers.

To me the surprising thing is Mirrorless cameras are failing to make more impact on SLRs.

I find them to be cheaper compared to your canon mark IV. And the quality is still great ;)
