Compact cameras are nearly as popular as mirrorless cameras in Japan, as the latest Top 10 ranking shows
In the Top 10 cameras of September at major Japanese retailer Map Camera, point-and-shoot models and mirrorless are head-to-head, while one position goes to a twin-lens pocket gimbal camera
The latest Top 10 camera chart from Japan reveals that compact cameras are nearly as popular as mirrorless models. The ranking includes five mirrorless cameras, four compact point-and-shoots, and one gimbal camera. The Sony A7 V, a full-frame mirrorless camera, tops the list for the ninth time since its December 2025 release, followed closely by the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS/Lite and the Ricoh GR IV.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, a gimbal camera, holds the ninth position. Older compact models such as the Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III (released in 2019) and the SX740 HS/Lite (re-launched in late 2024) also feature in the top 10. The Sony A7 V has consistently dominated the charts due to its advanced features, including superior autofocus, burst speed, video capabilities, and superior workflow flexibility compared to its predecessor.
