Also, WTFDDIM if you have 1%, 10%, or 80% of the market as long as you are selling all the product you can make, as it seems Pentax is doing? The only problem comes when you have lots of stock sitting in warehouses and poor sales. Then you are in trouble even if you have 100% of the market.
There are companies out their who only have .01% of their market, but are making out like bandits. There are companies who have a near monopoly and are sinking fast. ROI is the important thing, not market share. -graywolf P. J. Alling wrote: > Funny, the market share of DSLRs is supposed to be much higher. I > expect mis-information being used used as an attack.
