it is amusing to read replies
not biased though.
if you can not judge on points (because you disfavor the conclusion? ), speak loud: big picture! men, you should look at biggerrrrr picture!!!! %$#%$#%$%
if you can not judge on an over view (because you disfavor the conclusion again?) speak loud: smaller bikini! men, you can see nothing with bigger bikini! #%$#%$#%$
and if you can not read the charts clearly, read additional descriptions.
if still can not, my fault
I repeat 2 points here again:
1, it reports on sales of year 2006-2009 globally.
2, all lens interchangeable bodies included, such as EP and GF, but not P&S, such as G/S/ixus/A. the digi will make some people here go even more #$@$#!!! if P&S included.
I guess many of us do not run company, not buy stocks as well. even though, I would say you may be able to come to something like this with whatever view you have: pentax did not do a good job to catch up the bloom of "DLSR" popularization in past few years, no increase in market share, no increase in sales.
