Canon shipped 19.7 million digital cameras in 2006 to retain its position as global leader, according to an IDC report. Sony, Kodak and Olympus were next, with a surprise jump from 9th to 5th for Samsung, who more than doubled their market share from a year earlier. Nikon dropped to 6th, but retained 2nd place in the DSLR market, which was again headed by Canon.
