The E-PL1 + E-PL2 have a market share of over 10% !
Not bad at all.

I really thought the GH2 would be on the list.
With Olympus coming out with 3 more bodies tomorrow...it will definitely be interesting to see the Aug & Sep rank order....

On the GH2, as a relatively higher priced model the numbers are much less likely to add up to much.

The D7000 is an over-priced DSLR that costs more than the better performing GH2 and it still made the top 10....

canon and nikon will ALWAYS outsell every other camera maker, regardless of their price or performance

I'll see if I can dig them up...but there have been a couple of articles talking about Sony's ground gaining on Nikon...

The D7000 is competitively priced in its market position, and the GH2 is not much cheaper. I don't know how you measure performance but if I could only own one camera of those two, it certainly wouldn't be the GH2. m4/3 in general is overpriced compared to DSLRs, but more so in lenses than bodies.

And on the Sony market share thing, note the measures are for interchangeable lens cameras in general. Like for like in DSLRs Sony are getting nowhere fast, and it remains to see how much traction the NEX gets longer term.

Better watch you say around here - those could be fightin' words!
