It might have something to do with the fact they are big enough to equip every known professional in the world as walking EOS billboards and buy a bunch of celebrities for the same reason, and then advertise the crap out of it. It might also have something to do with their ability to put a new model on the shelves a couple of times a year, thereby feeding the equipment angst of the needy photographers. It might even have to do with their ability to make a pretty decent camera, and then sell it at an almost dumping price point.
