  "account": "A recent analysis from Japanese camera marketplace Minna Camera reveals that the Canon EOS 7D Mark II has ascended to the top spot in the used camera market, climbing 31 positions in just four weeks. Launched in November 2014, the DSLR is nearly 12 years old yet remains a favorite among sports and action photographers due to its robust performance in challenging conditions and its swift autofocus system. Despite its age, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II continues to be in demand, with an approximate used price of ¥50,872 (around $326 / £242).\n\nOther notable cameras in the top 10 include the Sony ZV-E10 mirrorless camera, which has jumped from position 65 to number 9. Released in 2021, the Sony ZV-E10 is an APS-C camera that has proven its longevity, as only 30% of the models on the list are no longer in production. The Canon EOS R5 and Nikon Z6, both released in recent years, also made appearances in the top 10, but are currently discontinued. Prices for these discontinued cameras range from ¥135,490 for the Sony A7 III to ¥230,479 for the Canon EOS R6 Mark II.",
