  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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",
