Sony also has a short product upgrade cycle. So it's not out of the question that Sony will have released an additional body or two in 12 months time.

If Sony has pealed (sic) off more Canon users than any other brand how would you explain the fact that Sony's market share hasn't changed but Canon's has increased?

An of course Canon many release a couple new products too. But it's hard to imagine any scenario where the R is selling at a premium to the A73.

Just my $0.02.

The statement that more people have left Canon for Sony than for Nikon or Pentax or Fujifilm or Panasonic or Olympus or Leica is not inconsistent with Canon's market share having increased.  People change cameras as their needs change and new people are always coming into the market.

I would certainly be prepared to pay a lot more for a 30 megapixel camera that took all my lenses as if natively and had a decent touchscreen than for a 24 megapixel camera that didn't.  If I were starting from scratch I would compare the cost of a decent outfit rather than just the basic camera.
