Top Selling Cameras. Clearly shows Canon has no clue!

Stolen from 1001 Noisy Cameras
This sales chart is from North America. What I find surprising is where the D90 is placed on the chart. I expected it to be higher.

I spoke with 2 retailers in the last week and both said dSLR sales have been soft in general. There have been a few exceptions, both said the XSi was selling like gangbusters and they’d both sold their expected allotment of 5D2′s. Both stores have D90′s in stock as well as D700′s, neither has ever run out of stock on the cameras. Economics?  or is the prosumer market showing signs of saturation?

The death of Canon doesn’t appear to be imminent.
