Fresh sales data from Japan suggest that one of photography's most unexpected trends is showing no signs of slowing down. While smartphone cameras continue to become more advanced – consumers are increasingly turning to compact cameras that come cheap.
According to the latest sales figures from Japanese retailer BCN, many of Japan's best-selling compact cameras are the most affordable ones on the market. The Kodak Pixpro FZ55, which once again tops the chart, costs $139.99 / £114. The Kodak Pixpro C1, which is in both second and third place, is even cheaper, available for $99.99 / £79.
