Sony Alpha DSLR Sales Cut Into Canon, Nikon

StudioLighting reports that the Sony Alpha 100 DSLR launch was better than anticipated, slicing 21.6% out of the total DSLR sales in Japan for the month of July.

Canon still holds on to the top spot but only barely beating Nikon into second place. Should be real interesting to see these giants jostle for position once all three consumer-level cameras are out in the marketplace.

Vendor	July	June
Canon	33.3%	51.6%
Nikon	27.4%	32.6%
Sony	21.6%	2.3%
Pentax	14.0%	7.6%
Olympus	2.8%	4.8%
Matsushita	0.8%	0.1%
