-------------------------------------------------

Canon won’t move from the 1st position. Sony and Nikon keep fighting their way to the top, but Sony still could not reach for the highest step. The others did not really move except for Kodak slowly slipping down.

This gives the image of a very mature market where companies with long-acquired positions are difficult to oust even by very aggressive relatively new competitors like Samsung stuck at around 11% market share.
