Grouped by manufacturer we have:

• 8 Sony cameras
• 7 Nikon cameras
• 5 Canon cameras
• 3 Fujifilm cameras
• 2 Olympus cameras

What’s interesting from those chart is:

• OM Digital still doing ok in Japan
• No Panasonic camera in the chart (despite having quite some affordable and very good models)
• I suspect Fujifilm would have a lot better result if the X100VI would be in Stock
• Sony still selling a lot of that ZV-E10 vlogger camera
