SUMMARY
Data from Japan's Minna Camera Marketplace for the first half of 2026 shows that 70% of the top 10 most-traded mirrorless cameras were APS-C models. Despite this trend, Canon's full-frame EOS R6 Mark II claimed the number one position, favored for its DSLR-like handling and deeper grip. The Sony A7 IV also ranked highly as a full-frame option, while other APS-C models like the Nikon Z50 II and Canon EOS R7 appeared further down the list. The significant price difference between APS-C and full-frame cameras is noted as a key factor driving demand for more affordable APS-C bodies in the used market.
