I think what the graph shows is that as more and more serious photographers consider mirrorless to be a viable option, lens catalog strength (Canon's forte in the DLSR world) is winning the day. Oly and Panny have 38% of the market, and Sony's share of the APS-c mirrorless market is shrinking fast (cannibalized by the A7, et al.)

IMO .. perhaps not.

Olympus has been selling all year at 60-65% of for E-PL6 kits and around 55-60% off OM D-E10/II kits.

Usually the top 10 in amazon has no less than 8 units for 50% or more off at any one particular time. Some of this I think is also exporters - where they can purchase cheap bundles, break it down and sell for a profit.

However - Japan seems to be price centric - which is why year prior Sony had the large bumps in sales - they were selling off old NEX units. the A6000, while a very nice camera, simply hasn't made that kind of inroad into japan sales. A7 series? non-existent.

Personally I think it's more a sign that Japan consumers are being very price and brand conscious lately versus a serious photographer trend.

NA and Europe of course are entirely different beasts.

one thing I will mention is that m43's is certainly increasing it's mount marketshare in the MILC segment more than sony, canon,et all - as multiple vendors are contributing to the mount marketshare.

btw, you chose "does canon even make a mirrorless" didn't you?

OMG.....

how did you know!
