[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]As I have said before, you have to drill down into how the information
was collected. Some report shipments, some report retail sales, some
report sales from specialty dealers, some report overall sales. Kodak's
numbers are from shipments, not actual hard cash transactions: Kodak
shipped a whole lot of product late in the Christmas season. We will
not find out until the numbers for the first quarter how much of that
was returned and at what profit.
Sony is laughing all the way to the bank as they make a whole lot of the
sensors for everybody else.

Karen's figures were for Japan. The numbers in the US
are quite different.
On 2 February of this year, the AP reported that the
running order for digtal camera sales in the US is:
Kodak, 21.9%
Sony, 19.4%
Canon, 16.1%
Olympus, 10.4%
HP, 8.1%
Fuji, 8%
Nikon, 6.2%

Can't find much on DSLR market share, except to
confirm that Canon and Nikon are #1 and #2, with
everyone else far behind, in the US and Europe.
