Olympus sold off their digital camera business to a private equity firm. It's now a shadow of it's former self with no expectation of growth.

Late day SLR makers, full-frame that is, was basically a duopoly between Nikon and Canon. As was early DSLRs, so you had some more brands then. If anything with mirrorless there seem to be more camera makers around than before, and being on par with each other. As opposed to SLRs or the early DSLR market were it was basically just Canon and Nikon.

Sony had a pretty solid hold on a chunk of that DSLR prosumer/enthusiast market as well. Fuji and some others started making headway right before mirrorless started taking off.
