Well, in Japan, Fuji is dominating the mirrorless market share as well as their Fuji X100VI compact dominating the June and July sales report. Now in the USA, it’s almost mid-July and if you are going to explore the sales ranking, Canon R50 holds the crown, and surprisingly, the next camera in the list is Canon R6 Mark II and you are not going to believe the third camera is Canon R100. So in the USA, Canon is more popular and in the top 3 we have all Canon cameras, and in 4th we have Sony’s A6400 camera, and in the fifth ranking we have the A6700. You can explore all the rankings below.
Top 5 Best-Selling Mirrorless Cameras on Amazon for July 2025
1. Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera (RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit)
2. Canon R6 Mark II (Body Only)
3. Canon EOS R100 (RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit)
4. Sony Alpha a6400 (16-50mm Lens)
5. Sony Alpha 6700 (Body Only)
6. Canon EOS RP (RF24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM Lens Kit)
7. Sony a7 III (28-70mm Lens)
8. Panasonic Lumix G7 (14-42mm and 45-150mm Lenses)
9. Canon EOS R8 (Body Only)
10. Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II (16-50mm Lens)
Why this camera stands out in July 2025
Canon camera dominance can be clearly seen in the top three spots, so it is very clear that these cameras appeal to both beginner photographers and professional shooters. Sony A6400 is still in the list, that’s a really big surprise. Apart from this, Panasonic G7 remains the best budget mirrorless M4/3 camera. I will request Panasonic to at least introduce autofocus in the same price range — it would be great, and they will continue to keep the dominance for the next 5 to 7 years. Other than that, we also have A6700 and ZV-E10, but surprisingly, Nikon seems to be a bit less popular in the USA as of now, specifically in July.

Take a look at the latest camera sales ranking published by the Map Times for June and mid-July 2025. In this particular list, we have the Fuji X-Half camera as the top-selling camera of this month. Surprisingly, the next two cameras in the list are again the Fuji X100 VI and Fuji XM-5. It looks like Fuji is running some cashback programs specifically in Japan, maybe? Only Japanese users can answer this question.
Another factor is that Fuji’s production line often faces stock shortage issues across its entire camera lineup. Currently, there’s a huge possibility that the stock levels can meet user demands, which is why they’re ranking at the top.
Top 5 Best-Selling Cameras at Map Camera for June 2025
1. Fujifilm X-Half (X-HF1)
2. Fujifilm X100VI
3. Fujifilm X-M5
4. Nikon Z5 II
5. Ricoh GR IIIx
6. Nikon Z50 II
7. Sony α7C II
8. Fujifilm X-T5
9. Canon R6 Mark II
10. Ricoh GR III
Fuji is dominating the sales ranking of July – July 2025. And Nikon, Canon, and Sony are far behind Fuji in the June-July sales volume of cameras in Japan.

According to the latest rumours coming from the webio / rumour mills, the Sony FX8 camera is said to feature 12K resolution, which we have also reported before, and it is expected to arrive in September 2025, possibly at the IBC conference. Now let’s break down the details — the list of rumoured specifications expected to arrive inside the Sony FX8 camera:
Sony FX8 Camera Specification
- The new full-frame product, named FX8, will feature a resolution of 12K, which is four times that of the FX9.
- It uses a 16:9 cropped 12K full-frame (3:2 aspect ratio, 96MP total pixels) CMOS image sensor.
- It doesn’t have internal RAW or X-OCN recording capabilities. Like the FX6, it outputs full-frame crop 3.8K 16-bit RAW to a third-party recorder via SDI at a maximum of 120fps.
- The only recording format available is XAVC, which offers 8K30p or 4K60p recording in full-frame and S35 modes.
- Full-frame crop 3.8K mode provides 4K120p recording.
- The readout specifications are not as good as the URSA Cine 12K, as the processor limits it, but it is still a reliable and easy-to-use camcorder that offers high-speed 4K (for FX6 users) and full-frame/Super35 dual-format 8K30p/4K60p (for FX9 users) for creative freedom.
About Sony FX8: Sony FX8 is said to be a professional filmmaker’s cinema camera set to join the Sony FX line, alongside the Sony FX6 and FX9. The camera will undergo a significant upgrade in its core specifications, offering very tough competition to the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K camera.

Nikon Z6 Mark 3 and Panasonic S1 Mark II camera – Which is best for your videographic needs?
Nikon Z6 III captures more details in a video clip compared to the Panasonic S1 II
Based on videographic requirements, which camera is the best one for you? The Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera delivers excellent 4K video quality, and the details are very sharp. You can also see the samples that have been attached to this page. The 4K details captured by the Nikon Z6 III are remarkably sharp. Panasonic Lumix S1 Mark II camera 4k samples, doesn’t carry that many details that which we can notice in the Nikon Z6 III camera.
What users are saying, those who have both the camera
The Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera can capture 4K videos up to 120 frames per second, so that’s the best option we have if you wish to capture high-quality dance moves or action sequences in slow motion. The Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera also offers the latest Nikon RED LUTs to put a cinematic feel inside your camera. The camera also offers waveform functionality and timecode support.
Why should you buy the Nikon Z6 Mark 3? If you are a content creator, travel blogger, street filmmaker, or even wedding cinematographer, and your requirement is limited to 4K video recording, then of course, the Nikon Z6 Mark 3 is more recommended for you.
At first, we were also confused when we saw the samples, since the Z6 III details are less compared to the Nikon Z6 III at 6K mode., but keep in mind since Nikon has unlocked the RAW mode of the camera, and the samples are clipped from RAW files not the in-camera processed mp4 that’s why the details visually less compared to the Panasonoc processed 6k MP4 file.
In 5k mode, when both are set at H.265, 10 bit, then as you can see, the Nikon Z6 III renders more details compared to the Panasonic S1 II camera.
Panasonic S1 Mark II Lacks RAW 6K Recording
The big problem with the Panasonic S1 Mark II camera is no RAW video recording mode is available at 6K and that creates a big confusion while comparing the clips of the camera that the S1 Mark II is generating a higher amount of detail, but the fact is the Z6 Mark III camera is giving us complete RAW footage, that’s why the details are soft in the initial inspection that can create confusion to any of us.
5K Comparison Shows Nikon Z6 III Advantage
But again, in 5K video recording mode, when you compare both the files or the clips of the camera, where none of them are recording in RAW format, then you can clearly see that Z6 Mark III camera details are much clearer.
Nikon Z6 III Offers 6K 60fps and 4K 120fps – But Misses Key Features
And since only the Nikon Z6 III camera is able to give us exclusively 6K 60 fps mode as well as 4K 120 fps mode, what we are missing inside the Z6 III is the anamorphic de-squeeze function as well as 32-bit float audio.
Which One Should You Buy – Final Recommendation
So to be very clear, for photography purposes, Nikon Z6 Mark III camera is the best option. Other than that, in videography purposes, if you’re going to shoot in anamorphic lenses and you have to use the in-camera de-squeeze functionality as well as you’re connected to post-production and your requirement is actually 32-bit float audio, in this specific scenario I am going to recommend you Panasonic S1 Mark II camera. Otherwise, Nikon Z6 Mark III is the best camera available at a lesser price and you should go with that camera.
Best camera for high-quality slow-motion video
Nikon Z6 Mark 3 is the straightforward answer. With this camera, you can record high-quality Full HD videos up to 240 frames per second. You can use it later in 10x slow-motion mode, delivering ultra-smooth, super slow-motion footage for a cinematic look. Other than that, the camera also offers 4K video recording up to 120 frames per second. So again, you are getting an option to record high-quality slow-motion footage—although you have to face a crop while recording at 120 FPS, but at least you get the option.
There is no such option present in the Panasonic S1 Mark II. It has advantages in its 6K mode, but yes—even in the 6K mode—it’s missing the 60fps frame rate which the Z6 Mark 3 is able to deliver.
Best camera for higher resolution Video
Please note, the Panasonic S1 Mark II does not offer RAW recording in 6K, whereas the Nikon Z6 Mark III offers full 6K RAW video, which gives more flexibility in post-production even if initial clips may look softer.
The Nikon Z6 Mark III offers 6K 60fps and 4K 120fps with internal RAW, but lacks 32-bit float audio and anamorphic de-squeeze support, making the S1 Mark II still a better choice if audio and anamorphic workflows are a priority.
Verdict – Best Camera for You
Choose Nikon Z6 III for:
- For Photography, Nikon Z6 III is more recommended
- For 6k 60FPS / NRAW video Nikon Z6 III
- For 4K vlogging, travel, and run-and-gun videography, the Nikon Z6 Mark III is highly recommended
- Excellent for recording slow-mo video, starting from Full HD 240 FPS and 4K up to 120 FPS
- Projects prioritizing sharp 4K footage and high frame rates.
Choose Panasonic Lumix S1 II for:
- 6K cinematic video with Open Gate and ARRI LogC3 + 32-bit Audio
- for thermal management, built-in FAN, and advanced 32 BIT audio.
- Anamorphic in-camera De Squeez Frame.io integration.

Canon listened to their customers, and they are the first camera makers to add password protection to their cameras. Recently, Canon has announced a significant firmware update introducing a password protection feature. This particular improvement enhances the security for photographers and videographers. Having a password-protected camera ensures that your camera is safe.
This feature is highly useful for wedding and travel photographers since most of them suffer from gear theft issues. But how will the thieves know the camera gear is password protected? For now, since this is a very new update, we have to paste stickers on our camera bags saying the cameras inside these bags are password protected.
Canon’s commitment to security
Since the feature has been introduced by the Canon R&D team after intensive research, to enhance overall security, it completely prevents unauthorized access to the settings of the camera or any data.
Why Password Protection Matters
-
Data Security: Prevents unauthorized access to images, videos, and camera settings.
-
Theft Deterrence: Adds a Firewall of protection, making stolen cameras completely unusable
Canon Camera Models Eligible for Password Protection Update
The firmware update applies to the following 10 Canon camera models. The best part is they have also covered the most used DSLRs of all time, as well as compact cameras too
- Canon EOS R5
- Canon EOS R6
- Canon EOS R3
- Canon EOS R7
- Canon EOS R10
- Canon EOS 1D X Mark III
- Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
- Canon EOS 6D Mark II
- Canon EOS 90D
- Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
These models span Canon’s mirrorless and DSLR lines, ensuring broad compatibility for users across different genres, including portrait photography, wildlife photography, and vlogging.
How does the password protection feature work in Canon cameras?
The new firmware introduces a lock screen mechanism that we generally see on our smartphones. It requires a user-defined password that you can easily remember all the time. So it should be a kind of number that you usually remember, like your date of birth or phone number — something very similar to that. But don’t keep it too easy so others can unlock it. Take a look at the key specs of the feature.
Take a look at the process invloved
- Enter a 6-digit number to set a password , and then press the < MENU > button.
- Next step: Select [OK]
- Enter your password again
- Select [OK] to set the password.
- When you turn on the camera or when it recovers from auto power off, the [Password] screen will be displayed. Enter the password you set.
- If you check “Don’t ask again,” this screen will not be displayed next time.
Features of Canon Paseord protect mode
- Customizable Passwords: Users can set a unique password multiple times.
- Quick Access: Setting up a password and unlocking it is a very easy process
How to activate the password protection 🛡️ in Canon cameras?
To activate the password protection feature, a user must download and install the free firmware update available on the Canon website. You have to first check whether your model is eligible for the update. The list of eligible models has already been mentioned in the post. The entire update process is so smooth, you won’t find any issues in updating your firmware.
What are the benefits or advantages for photographers and videographers?
This update is really a game-changer, and Canon is the first camera maker to introduce such a feature. Let’s find out why it’s a game-changer for your camera.
How to Update Your Canon Camera
To take advantage of this new feature, follow these steps:
- Visit Canon’s Official Website: Navigate to the support section and locate the firmware update for your camera model.
- Download the Firmware: Ensure you select the correct version compatible with your camera.
- Install the Update: Follow Canon’s step-by-step guide to install the firmware via a memory card or USB connection.
- Set Up Password Protection: Once updated, access the camera’s menu to configure your password.
For detailed instructions, check Canon’s support page or consult your camera’s user manual.
This particular update demonstrates Canon’s commitment towards addressing user-specific needs in this digital age by enhancing security without additional cost or any hardware requirement. Canon has shown its most generous sign of supporting users from the core of their hearts without putting any burden on their pockets. This update enhances the overall security of Canon system cameras, making them a top choice for professional photographers looking for reliability and peace of mind.

According to the latest rumours coming out from the rumour mill, Canon is about to announce a lens that never existed before. That’s really kind of very tricky information. But yes, it is very interesting since they are talking about a lens which covers a focal length of approx 16 to 135mm, and it’s not an L-series or a white lens that comes with a hefty price tag. to good to be true, I love to have such a range in budget.
So if the information is true, then we will have a budget, ultra-coverage lens for full-frame cameras — highly useful for travel shooters and wedding photographers.
We do know that Canon is fully prepared to announce two of their cameras in late August, and recently, they have done one more registration in the wireless certification agency that confirms a third camera for late November or December, or maybe the very beginning months of 2026. So, let’s hope for the best — if any update arrives, going to update you very soon.
