Japanese DSLR/IDLC Top 10 Sellers for July 2010

Last time I talked about the results of June for the Japanese home market and made some quick analyses. Similarly, the results of July has been out from the BCN, here it is:-

(in Japanese, Google translation to English here)

A quick review on the brand share are as follows:

Nikon

29%
Sony

16.4%
Olympus

Remaining:

21.2%

The top-selling models are the same as June. Well, the K-x is still there, but now appears as the last one in the list. In fact, the model is aging, as it will soon to be one-year old and is due for replacement, indeed. Moreover, I bet that the 12MP Sony sensor used in the K-x (and D90 and D5000 as well) will get replaced very soon and this sensor will become history by the end of this year.
