I am just curious who grabbed that ~ 4% of market shares: Nikon or Sony? ;D
Nikon's latest financial results are also out:

Putting together CIPA, Nikon and Canon numbers together for Jan-Jun 2017, this is what we have:
Total ILC shipment = 5,734,678 units
Nikon = 1,350,000 = 23.5% market share
Canon = 2,510,000 = 43.8% market share
Canikon total = 67.3% market share
This is the first time in many, many years when Canikon's total market share dips below 70%. Sony is stealing market shares from Nikon.
Furthermore, based on Nikon's forecast, they only expect to achieve market share of ~ 25% for 2017. Canon should remain ~ 44%.
In Nikon's own words:
"In the Imaging Products Business, sales of mid-class cameras such as the D7500, a digital SLR camera released in June this year were firm, with unit sales increasing significantly in the U.S. Accordingly, the performance in revenue and operating profit exceeded the planned targets, but compared to the same period of the previous year, decreases in sales and profits were recorded due to a product mix change caused by the
stagnant demand for the D5 and the D500."
