20 best selling DSLR in Japan!

The latest survey acquired from AkihabaraNews.com revealed that Canon lost market shares to Nikon in DSLR market in Japan.

The Japanese Website BCN Ranking has the 20 bestselling DSLRs in Japan for the Year 2008. I'm surprised to see how popular Nikon is, nearing leading rank…

Here's the full list:

1 Canon EOS Kiss X2 with 19.1% Of Market Share
2 Nikon D60 10.9%
3 Nikon D80 10.6%
4 Nikon D40 9.1%
5 Canon EOS Kiss Digital X 8.4%
6 Canon EOS 40D 6.7%
7 Sony α350 4.2%
8 Nikon D300 3.3%
9 Sony α200 2.6%
10 Nikon D90 2.2%
11 Canon EOS 50D 2%
12 Nikon D40x 1.9%
13 Canon EOS Kiss F 1.8%
14 Sony α300 1.7%
15 Pentax K200D 1.6%
16 Panasonic Lumix G1 1.4%
17 Olympus E-510 1.4%
18 Olympus E-520 1.2%
19 Olympus E-420 1.2%
20 Nikon D700 1%

A few things though... Some of these models are pretty new, like the G1 Lumix, while others are kind of old. It's interesting to note that Nikon has seven cameras on the list while Canon only has five.

Looks like Nikon leading the DSLR market...
