Here you go:
August 2008:

The sum for the top ten models is 77% the rest 23% are all the other models.
1) Canon has 3 models in top 10 with a measurable market share of 34% + whatever they have from the rest of models I'd say 8-10% more;
2) Nikon has 2 models in top 10 with 22.5% market share + whatever they have from the rest of models - again only my impression without any solid numbers would be 7-8 percent more;
3) Olympus has the E-P1 in top 10 with 8.8% market share + the rest of dslrs they sold - probably another 2-3%;
4) Panasonic with 2 models in top 10 with 5.2% market share (that was before GF-1) - virtually nothing more since they had nothing beside G(H)1;
5) Hoya with K-m in top 10 with 4.1% market share + sales of K-7 and earlier models - I hope at least 1.5-2.5% more;
6) Sony with one model in top 10 with 2.4% market share +whatever they have from the rest of models - probably at least 3% more considering the huge number of cameras they sell;
I'll get back with September numbers.
