Originally posted by rangercarp See the second slide in the original post. in 2014 Sony was on top in MILC. Interestingly they were also on top in Digital Video Camera and Digital photo frame. In '15 they dropped to second in MILC and Digital video camera, and dropped out of the top three in photo frame.
Ah yes. You're quite right.
As far as I know this is showing the number of units sold. So in a way, it may not be all that significant. I'm sure the average selling price for Olympus MILCs is less than Sony, so it seems unlikely that Olympus makes more money on what they're selling. Also, in compacts, quite a lot of what Sony sells is going to be the RX100 series, which is sells for more than double the price of an average compact.
I think Ricoh is also limited in DSLRs in that they only compete in one half of the market. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2016, when they are also active in the full frame area.
