So finally, we have the annual ranking from CAPA CAMERA WEB, and this highly anticipated annual ranking reveals the top 20 best-selling interchangeable-lens digital cameras for 2025. I am really surprised to see the list. First of all, this list is based on the sales data from January 1 to December 31, 2025, which means it covers a full year of sales, and the list comes straight from Yodobashi Camera in Japan, so it clearly shows what Japanese people preferred for their photography gear at this major retailer. It can be for any purpose, maybe for content creation, photography, or anything else, but yes, let’s jump into the top-selling cameras of 2025 at Yodobashi.
And here is the king: the Sony α7C II. The Sony α7C II dominates the entire chart and secures both the first and second positions with the kit lens and body-only variants. That clearly indicates how much Japanese people preferred the Sony α7C II in 2025. One more important thing—the success of the α7C II is not limited to 2025. It was also one of the most popular cameras of 2024, consistently holding the top spots.

Here’s the complete ranking, showcasing a mix of full-frame, APS-C, and even medium-format options from leading brands like Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Hasselblad. The data highlights a strong preference for APS-C sensors in the top tiers, reflecting demand for affordable yet capable gear.

This ranking is derived from actual sales at Yodobashi Camera, one of Japan’s largest electronics retailers, and cross-verified against monthly trends reported by CAPA CAMERA WEB throughout 2025. Monthly reports consistently showed the Sony α7C II in the top positions, with models like the Fujifilm X-M5 and Nikon Z50 II also performing strongly in various periods.
Key Insights: Sony’s Dominance and APS-C Surge
Yes, the Sony α7C II has faced some issues in the past, but apart from Sony, Fujifilm and Nikon are also popular options. The big surprise is that the Sony α7C II body and kit remained in the top 10 every month, never dropping out, and often in the top five—with the kit securing 1st place 7 times and the body 4 times. Take a look at the other camera rankings. Apart from Sony, we have other models that consistently appear in the top 10 or 20.
Breaking it down by manufacturer in the top 10:
- Canon: Four models (EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R50, EOS R10, EOS R6 Mark III), emphasizing their strong APS-C lineup.
- Sony: Three models (α7C II kit, body, and ZV-E10 II), showcasing hybrid appeal for photographers and vloggers.
- Nikon: Two models (Z50II and Z5II), highlighting entry-level full-frame and APS-C options.
- Fujifilm: One model (X-M5), proving the draw of retro styling and film simulations. Before the α7C II’s rise, top performers varied, but the α7C II has now held strong for two years.

Why the Sony α7C II Continues to Lead
The Sony success may not surprise us due to the core specifications the camera offers at its price range. It features a 33MP full-frame sensor with advanced AI autofocus and 4K video recording capabilities, impressing both photographers and content creators. The camera remained a top choice from 2024 into 2025, leading the rankings consecutively. Still confused between the Sony α7 IV and Sony α7C II? Well, we have done a comparison here: Sony α7C II vs. α7 IV.
Trends to Watch in 2026
Well, it will be very interesting to see which camera remains on top in 2026. Since the α7C II is getting a bit older and we are getting a lot of new options in the mid-range full-frame segment, starting from Nikon Z6 III, Nikon ZR, Canon EOS R6 Mark III, as well as the recently launched Sony α7 V, with all these options, obviously, people’s choices will differ. It will be really interesting to see what comes out as one of the favorite creators’ and photographers’ tools in 2026.
