nothing has changed except that not everyone has announced their segment by
segment breakdowns in the last couple of quarterly reports. Canon still
makes more than Nikon in both absolute and profit margin in their camera
divisions. the ones willing to break out compact vs DSLR have not made as
much. Nikon doubled their expected sales of the D2X and that helped them
make more money than they thought they would, but that was still less than
Canon.

Subject: Re: When Pentax DSLR with better crop level?
as of last year, Canon made the most. Nikon the second most, both in
terms of absolute dollars and in profit margin. Canon is the only one
making money if you consider the digital P&S camera divisions alone of
all the players.
Ok, yeah, that was last year. I'm talking about more recent data, like
this past quarter and whatnot. Next time I get updated info on this
subject, I'll make sure to save it and post something about it here.
