Nikkei Asian Review published this interesting chart showing which companies dominated the interchangeable-lens camera sales in 2014. Canon had 43.3%, Nikon had 32.1%, Sony had 13%, and other companies accounted for a combined 11.6%. From a year earlier, Nikon lost 2.5% share to Sony and other smaller companies, while Canon basically held steady.
