That makes the best selling mirrorless in Japan the EOS M50 (on place 2 and 4) and 2nd best the Sony A6300 on the 8th place.
I know it is a bit confusing when they rank different kits as separate items.

I am, however, a bit surprised by this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Digital-Cameras/zgbs/electronics/281052

So cheap crap does still sell?

[toni-a]

yep that's where real money is for manufacturers

I think that rankliist from BC and Klaus represents the real word. I simply realize that we are small community and our perception fur good and bad does not match the world.

Amazon might not be the primary place for photogs to shop. I bought two Sigma cameras there just because they were suddenly very cheap at Amazon, but basically that was a big exception - so, I'd take it with a grain of salt, these results. Or rankings. Can someone answer the question why the rankings should be of much interest to us? I mean, we're not manufacturers or market researchers, just users. If a camera is the right tool, I really don't mind if it's rank 1 or 20.

BCN Ranking is only calculate 'Off-line, digital discount store in Japan'. so its not entire market share of Japan. don't be upset or nervous.

Strange statistics, strange Japanese people. There is a guy whom I asked to write me a paper on the history of the photograph, optical nerd, says that it is ridiculous. He proved using facts that Nikon D3400 2 lens kit way much better than Canon EOS 200D
