SUMMARY
Recent sales data from Japan indicates a strong trend towards smaller, crop-sensor mirrorless cameras, with nine out of the top ten models featuring APS-C or Micro Four Thirds sensors. This shift suggests photographers are moving away from heavier full-frame bodies. The list includes popular models like the Canon EOS R50 and Sony ZV-E10 II, with only one full-frame camera, the Sony A7 V, making the top ten. While this data comes from general retailers, it highlights a growing preference for more compact and budget-friendly camera options.
