Kodak has officially taken the top spot in Japan's compact camera market for 2025. According to newly released annual sales data from BCN+R, the Kodak Pixpro FZ55 finished the year as the country's best-selling compact camera – marking the first time Kodak has claimed the annual number-one position with this series.
The result caps off a year in which Kodak consistently dominated monthly sales charts at major retailers such as Yodobashi Camera and Map Camera. These rankings repeatedly showed Kodak compacts outperforming far more expensive models – and the annual data now confirms that this wasn't a short-term trend.
