Canon breaks into the top 3 – but this manufacturer still takes 5 of 10 spots in the latest best-selling camera chart in Japan

Only 3 brands make Japan's latest top 10 camera ranking – and the #1 camera launched in 2023, beating newer mirrorless camera releases

Canon breaks into the top 3 – but this manufacturer still takes 5 of 10 spots in the latest best-selling camera chart in Japan

Yodobashi Camera's latest chart for the first half of October in Japan reveals that Canon has broken into the top three positions, despite its long-standing dominance. Sony's A7C II, released in 2023, claims the top spot with a compact full-frame camera and zoom lens kit. The camera, which has proven to outperform newer releases, is followed by the Sony A7 V at third place.

Interestingly, both cameras reappear in later positions: the A7 V is in seventh place with a zoom lens kit configuration, while the A7C II sits in eighth place with its body-only version. The top ten list includes a mix of Canon and Sony cameras, with the Canon EOS R50 Double Zoom Kit and the Fujifilm X-M5 + XC15-45mm Lens Kit also making the list.
