Of the 20 best-selling cameras in Japan, 13 slots belong to Sony – but there's also a Canon DSLR!
Sony is conquering Japan right now, with the ZV-E10 doing monster sales, while a Canon DSLR is keeping the dream alive
The latest sales data in Japan has been published with the top 50 best-selling cameras on the market for the month of July – and Sony is reigning supreme.
The Sony ZV-E10 took the top three spots in varying configurations, with Powerzoom kit lens coming in number one, the white model coming in second and the double kit lens taking third place.
BCN Retail reports on domestic Japanese sales and aggregates roughly 50% of the nation's retailers to come up with its statistics, including the major camera retailers and electronics specialists.
The ZV-E10 took 5 spots in the top 20 with different kit models, with a total of 15 Sony cameras in the whole top 50.
Canon took the last couple of spots in the top 5, with the EOS R10 and 18-150mm lens followed by the EOS R50 double lens kit.
Despite the ZV-E10 taking the top spots, Sony Alpha Rumors was quick to highlight the fact that the Sony A7C II is clearly the best-selling full-frame camera, claiming four spots with different kit models.
Here's what the top 20 looks like:

While Sony took 15 slots in the top 50, followed by 14 for Canon and 13 for Nikon, it's interesting how under-represented the other brands were.
Fujifilm only nabbed three spots (all for different bundles of the X-T50), which was matched by OM System (for the PEN E-P7 and the OM-5 both with and without a lens), followed by Panasonic coming last (with the Lumix G100D in single and dual kit lens bundles).
