MIRRORLESS look
The new, increasing interest on the mirrorless shows a market tendency. The most successful proposals are: Olympus with PEN E-PL2 and PEN E-PL1, Panasonic with LUMIX GF2, Sony NEX-5. They have gained a a very interesting percentage of sales.

Fuji would become world No. 3 in cameras, surpassing Samsung and Nikon; Canon would keep ahead; Sony is an increasingly strong competitor and Panasonic too.
When in 2012 all will be present with their new proposals, the market could have new sales rankings and a new winners list.
I am curious about it!
