The pocketable Ricoh GR IV is the number one camera in the US right now, but a new retro shooter and a three-year-old mirrorless aren’t far behind
The top trending cameras at B&H for October are led by the Ricoh GR IV, OM System PEN, and Nikon Z8
The Ricoh GR IV, a compact camera with an APS-C sensor, has taken the top spot on the trending camera list at B&H Photo in October. The compact camera's small and unobtrusive design, combined with its high-quality APS-C sensor, has made it a popular choice among photographers. The camera is frequently out of stock, indicating its high demand.
The Ricoh GR IV's popularity has pushed it to the top of several trend lists, making it the number one camera in the US right now. The OM System PEN, a retro-styled mirrorless camera, made the top ten list twice, once with the black version and once with the silver version. The PEN's retro design and weather-sealed kit lens have contributed to its popularity, making it an affordable alternative to more expensive mirrorless cameras.
The Nikon Z8, a full-frame mirrorless camera, has also made it to the top three. Despite being launched three years ago, the Z8's recent price drop has brought it back into the spotlight. The Nikon Z8's 45.7MP full-frame sensor, capable of shooting 20 fps RAW bursts, makes it a favorite among professional photographers. Canon is also a prominent name on the trending list, with the Canon EOS R6 Mark III and Canon EOS R5 Mark II taking the fifth and sixth spots, respectively.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is a full-frame camera with a 32.5MP sensor, 7K open gate, and 40 fps burst rate. The Canon EOS R5 Mark II, on the other hand, is an 8K shooter with a 45MP sensor, maintaining a snappy 30 fps burst rate despite its superior resolution capabilities. The Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A, a compact point-and-shoot camera, is also on the list, making it the only camera from Canon to make an appearance.
The camera's 20.2MP resolution and 12x optical zoom make it a great option for those looking for an affordable point-and-shoot camera. Lastly, the Fuji Instax Pal 2, a tiny instant camera with retro dials and an optical viewfinder, rounds out the top ten list. Unlike the original Instax, the Pal 2 doesn't print on instant film but supports wireless connections to portable photo printers, making it a more pocket-friendly option.
