Compact cameras have become so trendy that the most popular models come with “out of stock” warnings and long waiting lists. But when it comes to the most popular compact camera that’s actually possible to buy, one retailer in Japan thinks it has the answer: The Sony ZV-1 II.
The insight comes from Japanese retailer Yodobashi’s top ten best-selling compact camera list for the first half of March 2026. The Sony ZV-1 II isn’t the first camera in that list, but removing four compact cameras that are perpetually out-of-stock that had a large shipment to waiting list customers propels the ZV-1 II to the top.
