Top 50 best-selling cameras revealed: is yours on the list?

Japanese consumer electronics trade body BCN Retail has released its point-of-sale data for the camera market for September in its BCN Ranking report. The monthly report is a paid service for corporations that allows interested parties to see the actual sales volume of a wide variety of digital home appliance products.

Based on that data, the organization has published its top 50 best-selling cameras. the list includes both standalone camera bodies and those that come in kit form bundled with lenses or other accessories. Different color variations also get individual entries on the list – with non-black variants noted in brackets.

The main takeaway from the report is that Sony has fared best for the month, with a total of 16 camera bundles making the top 50. In second place is Canon with 14 cameras and kits, and Nikon makes third place, with nine products on the list. FujiFilm and Olympus tied for fourth place with four apiece, while the remaining three cameras in the top 50 were from Panasonic. No other manufacturers made the top 50.

It's a tale of the times that the vast majority of cameras were mirrorless, with only one DSLR making the list – the Nikon D7500 in 37th place. The D7500 was actually discontinued several months ago, although there is clearly still stock in the supply chain.
