Curiosity: Map camera has announced the annual sales ranking of cameras and interchangeable lenses in 2022

The large Japanese store Map Camera shared the 2022 bestellers (Total January to December 15, 2022):

Best selling cameras:

  1. SONY α7IV
  2. OM SYSTEM OM-1
  3. Canon EOS R7
  4. Nikon Z9
  5. FUJIFILM X-T5
  6. Canon EOS RP
  7. Canon EOS R6
  8. Canon EOS R5
  9. Nikon Z6II
  10. Canon EOS R3

The A7IV leads the pack but Canon really nailed it with 5 cameras within the top 10! Sony really needs to push new camera releases!

Best selling lenses:

  1. Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S
  2. Canon EF50mm F1.8 STM
  3. Canon RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM
  4. Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II SEL2470GM2
  5. Canon RF50mm F1.8 STM
  6. Canon RF16mm F2.8 STM
  7. Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III VXD G2 / Model A063S (E-mount)
  8. Canon RF24-105mm F4L IS USM
  9. Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD / Model B061X (X mount)
  10. Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 DiIII RXD/Model A071SF (E mount / for full size)

Canon is clearly doing well also because they have to catch up with the Sony lens lineup. In 2022 they announced two more lenses than Sony did. Tamron E-mount lens are selling very well. For 2023 Sony will definitely release the new 16-35mm GMII, 20-70mm G and maybe the 85mm f/1.2 GM II. Those lenses could definitely become hotsellers too!
