Thanks Ken, What is the time interval considered for market shares in the table published there?
Since the K100D is there, it shouldn't be a long time. However, it is also possible that the K100D was only distributed during the latest part of that time span. In other words, the current market share of the K100D could be diluted by a longer time when it was not available.
