I will just post this here since some readers have been questioning my previous reports… yes, it is from only one store from only one market but it’s just confirms what I have been reporting here on the blog for months – the major Japanese store Map Camera just published their top selling cameras for January 2018:
- Nikon D850
- Sony α7R III
- Panasonic LUMIX G9 PRO
- Fujifilm X100F
- Canon EOS 6D Mark II
- Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
- Olympus Tough TG-5
- Olympus PEN E-PL 8
- Fujifilm X-T2
- Fujifilm X-T20
If I understand the translation correctly, the Nikon D850 was also their top selling camera for 2017 followed by the Sony a7r3:
Nikon D850 called “popularity immovable from last year’s release” became the top. Sony, which introduced the high spec machines continuously with α9 in 2017, ranked second in α7 R III.
Update #1: The price comparison site kakaku.com, which includes a large number of camera retailers, including Map Camera, also has the D850 at the top of their rankings in the camera category:
Update #2: Here’s an overlay of Amazon sales ranking from camelcamelcamel, which I believe tracks rankings daily based on the “Camera & Photo” category on Amazon (blue=D850, red=A7Riii):
The Nikon D850 is Map Camera’s top-selling camera for February 2018 (again)
Nikon claims the #1 spot in the full frame camera market during the 2017 holiday shopping season
