This figure represents almost 90% of the total DSLR production by major manufacturers, significantly outpacing Nikon and Pentax. While Canon has ceased developing new DSLR models, it continues mass production of existing lines like the EOS-1D X Mark III and EOS Rebel T7, indicating sustained market demand.
