The Sony A7 V has topped best-seller lists since its launch on the finish of the 2025 – and one retailer in Japan says the full-frame mirrorless isn’t simply attracting creators utilizing older A7 cameras however photographers switching from different manufacturers.
The perception comes from Map Camera, a significant digicam retailer in Japan. While gross sales tendencies in Japan – and simply from one retailer – don’t all the time translate to different markets, with many main digicam producers primarily based in Japan, the area’s gross sales lists have a tendency to hold some clout. (And the Sony A7 V has equally been a best-seller within the US.)

While Sony’s most recent mirrorless camera is topping the best-seller list in Japan, the A7 V isn’t the only camera from the brand on the list of top ten. The next Sony on the list is from the fall of 2023, the Sony A7C II, a more compact model in the brand’s line-up, while the crop sensor Sony A6700 also came in on the list at ninth place. The model before the A7, the A7 IV, was also the retailer’s best-selling used camera for March.
Looking at the rest of the March bestsellers, a clear trend continues to emerge: size matters, as many of the top sellers are smaller mirrorless bodies, along with three compact cameras.
The March 2026 best-sellers at Map Camera include:
- Sony A7 V
- Fujifilm X-T30 III
- Fujifilm X-E5
- Sony A7C II
- Canon PowerShot SX740 HS
- Ricoh GR IIIx
- Fujifilm X-M5
- Ricoh GR IV
- Sony A6700
- Nikon Z5 II
Matching Sony with three cameras on the list, Fujifilm’s best-seller hits are all mirrorless cameras with a design that focuses on smaller bodies. The Fujifilm X-T30 III is arguably best described as a happy medium camera – it’s rather compact, but it still has a viewfinder; it doesn’t have the most advanced specs, but it’s one of the brand’s more affordable mirrorless cameras.
The X-T30 III is followed by the Fujifilm X-E5, which is the mirrorless that’s arguably closest to the bestselling X100VI compact camera, which is still hard to find in stock. Coming in at 7th place is the X-M5, which is both Fujifilm’s most compact and most affordable current mirrorless body.
The only Canon on the March list is the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS. It’s unsurprising to find a PowerShot on the best-seller lists, considering the return of the compact camera – even if it is one from 2018. But, photographers may be more surprised that the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, which launched around the same time as the A7 V, hasn’t made the list despite being a top seller in the US.
Nikon slides into the list in the tenth place spot – but it’s not surprising to see the Z5 II on the list, with its balance between price and features, including a highly-rated low-light autofocus.
Choosing a new camera should be about the features, not the trends, but the bestseller lists can hint towards key trends in the camera industry.
