The table you are referring to (market share by each model) is for July. The article is giving following explanation on the spike of Sony Alpha. 1. It made a real splash considering that it was launched only on 7/21. However, the figure includes the prebooked quantity. 2. It also shows the usual spike right after the launch (common to most new model) 3. More females (new entry to DSLR) are buying Sony Alpha than males I am sure if the same tally was measured for the K100D including the prebooked quantity, it would have shown the similar spike. BTW, I believe I recently (last couple of weeks) saw information on the ranking of the sales quantity of all digicam, P&S and DSLR, and all top 10 were P&S except K100D was listed somewhere in the middle as the only DSLR. So, it should be doing quite well, and no wonder their factory has been very busy. Cheers, Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
