“Still one of the best bets,” this 2023 compact mirrorless camera is so popular that it’s dominating both new and used sales charts in Japan
The top-trending used cameras at one retailer in Japan hint at trends for compact, capable cameras
The Sony A7C II continues to dominate both new and used camera sales charts in Japan, proving to be one of the best bets for creators seeking professional features in a compact body. Released in 2023, this mirrorless camera features a full-frame Sony sensor, making it a more affordable alternative to full-frame cameras like the Sony A7 V and A7R VI.
While the A7C II is not the cheapest option, its $2,499 / £2,099 / AU$2,999 / CA$2,999 price point makes it a more portable and cost-effective choice. Joining the A7C II in the top spots for used camera sales are the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Fujifilm X-E5. Interestingly, the Fujifilm X-T5 ranks second on the used list but doesn't appear on the new list, suggesting potential supply issues in Japan.
The Nikon Z50 II and Nikon Z8 also make appearances on the used list, further emphasizing the impact of new releases on the popularity of older models.
