all useful, but i was quoting worldwide figures published by the
manufacturers themselves.

Subject: Re: Pentax Profits Fall 42%
In general, Canon RebelXT and Nikon D70 (and D70s) occupy the lion's
share.
The best selling is RebelXT black body lens kit (16.8% share) followed by
D70 lens kit (12.0% share) and the list goes down with various variation
of
Rebel and 70D (double zoom kit and such). At 8th, EOS 20D 17-85 IS lens
kit
shows up.
Oly E-300 shows up briefly at 3.5% share but that's the only Oly entry,
but
this was a bit of blip. Of non N/C DSLR, Pentax is now the 3rd (D and Ds
combined) with KM Alpha7 closing in.
However, this was the June data. The database now says that Nikon D50 has
a
strong momentum (they just entered) and Pentax DL is now about to enter.
Particularly the D50's sales speed is phenomenal and it is considered a
matter of time before the share of two giants, namely the RebelXT and D70,
will be rapidly eroded and brought down.
