      It actually looks like their market share of units shipped increased 0.4% (versus a decrease of -0.9% for Sony).

        I mean over the last decade. Nikon used to be a close second place after Canon, but in recent years Sony has caught up significantly.

          Ah, yes! Although I wonder what the revenue breakdowns look like and how many of those units are lower-end APS-C bodies. Canon and Sony have a lot more mirrorless APS-C offerings and have been offering them for much longer.
