Compact cameras have been rising up the sales rankings, but the latest data from a key retailer is highlighting some unusual trends. Map Camera, Japan's biggest camera store, typically publishes a list of the top ten most sold cameras that’s dominated by interchangeable lens cameras.
Half of the retailer's February rankings, however, are made up of compact cameras, which Map says is “quite an unusual occurrence.” The list also includes the rare appearance of a more affordable point-and-shoot camera on a list typically dominated by high-end models: the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ99.
