Top 10 DSLRs in March (Japan Ranking)

Japanese magazine BCN [Google translate] has posted their March 2010 ranking for the top 10 DSLR cameras sold in Japan.

What is interesting with those numbers is the strong showing of the micro FourThirds Digital Interchangeable Lens (DIL) cameras, aka mirrorless DSLRs.

The Panasonic GF1 [Specs], at 7.8%, beats the Nikon D3000 [Specs] (7.1%).

The Olympus E-PL1 [Specs], at a respectable 6.9%, beats the Pentax Kx [Specs] (6.5%), Canon EOS 7D [Specs] (4.4%) and Canon EOS Kiss X2, aka Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D [Specs] (3.4%).

Together, these two DIL cameras account for approx. 15% of the DSLR sales for March. [Amateur Photographer reports that 10% of DSLRs sold in February in the UK were mirrorless.] [ via @Photoframd, 4/3 Rumors, 1001NoisyCameras ]
