A very unintuitive chart. Do we read the percentages up the side for
each camera, or is relative camera position important? The chart seems
to suggest that Canon has something less than 20% of the market, which I
believe is wrong. I think the area of the chart occupied by each brand,
independent of position, is the right interpretation, which means that
Canon has the highest usage except for the 'others' area at top. Kodak
seems to be preferred for women, with Nikon the least of all, while
Canon is preferred for men, with Nikon well back also.

Just what do you read into this 'survey'?

That they should've all grabbed up a Konica Minolta?
