Canon EOS R10 tops the BCN Ranking once again, with an APS-C landslide gobbling up an 60% share!

Canon EOS R10.

BCN+R has released its list of the top 50 best-selling interchangeable-lens cameras in Japan from April 1 to April 30. With the figures only including DSLR and mirrorless cameras, that meant there are no compact cameras to muddy the water.

The big news is that the Canon EOS R10 has dethroned the Sony ZV-E10 II to take its place at the top of the charts once again. This isn’t a huge surprise given that the mid-range APS-C camera topped the BCN Ranking in January and February.

Six manufacturers were included on the list, with Sony taking the top spot. As far as its frequency, the tech giant had 15 cameras/camera packages featured. Canon was a close second with 13, Nikon in third with 11, Fujifilm and OM System in joint fourth with four places apiece, and Panasonic bringing up the rear with three.

Of all the formats listed, APS-C cameras were far and away the most popular, taking up a whopping 30 places on the list (that's 60 percent). Full-frame cameras took up only 13 spots in comparison, with Micro Four Thirds mopping up the remaining seven places.

If you ignore the Nikon Z5 II scything its way through the competition at the first time of asking, the most impressive climber was the Sony A6400 at 27, which wasn’t even included on last month’s ranking. The biggest drop for a camera that remained on the list was the OM System / Olympus PEN E-P7 twin lens kit, which plummeted 22 places from seven to 29.

When it comes to the top 10, the Sony ZV-E10 II twin lens kit, which took the top spot last month, has dropped to third, with the Canon EOS R50 twin lens kit slotting into second place. The Canon EOS R50 twin lens kit maintained its spot in fourth, while the Nikon Z50 II twin lens kit went from ninth to fifth and the new Nikon Z5 II shot straight in at six in its BCN Ranking debut. Both the Fujifilm X-M5 with kit lens and Nikon Z fc with kit lens climbed slightly in seventh and eighth, respectively, while a brace of Sony cameras, the Sony A6400 twin lens kit and Sony ZV-E10 with kit lens finished off the top 10.

BCN+R gathers data from 4,000 Japanese retailers, providing a good indication of what cameras consumers are favoring within the Japanese domestic market.
