SUMMARY

This trend suggests photographers are moving away from heavier full-frame cameras. The OM System OM-5 Mark II, a compact Micro Four Thirds camera, entered the top ten, highlighting the appeal of smaller designs. While general retail data favors these more accessible models, some specialty stores may show different trends.
