BCNRanking has just released the latest sales data in Japan for 2011 (Jan to end Oct):

Surprisingly, in the mirrorless camera segment, Olympus takes the biggest market share with 37.1%, much larger than Panasonic (29.5%) and Sony (29.3%). It's hard to say how much the latest bad rep for Olympus will affect their sales numbers and what kind of impact the Thai flooding is going to have. If things turn ugly in the last two months for these companies, Panasonic may very well surge ahead.
In the compact camera segment, the results are: Canon 16.6%, Sony 15.2% and Casio 14.6%. For DSLRs (excluding mirrorless cameras), the winners are Canon (43.7%), Nikon (41.4%) and Pentax (7.3%). I wonder how the results will look if both segments of interchangeable lens cameras are combined.
