Luckily I was holding a Canon camera, as mainly everyone else who feels “always delighted”. Canon remains the number one camera manufacturer worldwide if you list Powershots line-up (19 percent), followed by Sony (17.9 percent from previous 16.9) and Nikon (12.6 percent). Check out the chart IDC chart after the cut.

Now moving on, below is the chart for DSLR, where you’ll see Canon is holding almost half of the market. No wonder, why I see most of beginners, entry-mid and pro shooters hanging an EOS strap on their neck (yes, I was one of them).
