BCN: Canon EOS R50 Takes The Top Sales Spot Back

According to BCN, one of Japan’s largest sales trackers, the Canon EOS R50 knocked the Sony ZV-E10II out of its top sales spot. Canon currently is in second place with 26.3% of camera sales.

In January 2025, Sony led the market in unit sales share by manufacturer, maintaining the top position for the third consecutive month with a 29.7% share. Canon ranked second with a 26.3% share. Together, these two companies accounted for more than half of the market.

The top-selling model ranking for January 2025 saw Canon’s EOS R50 take first place, reclaiming the top spot for the first time in two months by overtaking Sony’s VLOGCAM ZV-E10 II.

Canon FY2024 Financial Results

Cameras

As for interchangeable-lens cameras, demand is stable thanks to needs of professionals and people who enjoy shooting still images as well as the needs of SNS users to shoot video. Additionally, demand was stimulated by the investment of each company to expand sales. As a result, the size of the market in 2024 was 6.3 million units, which exceeds last year. And in 2025, we expect it to be around the same level.

In addition to launching two new models in the second half of the year, the EOS R5 Mark II for professionals and enthusiasts and the EOS R1, our flagship model, we also conducted sales promotions for entry-class models. As a result, net sales of cameras in the selling season fourth quarter increase 14.6%, resulting in a 6.5% increase for the full year.

In 2025 as well, our plan is to expand sales of full-frame models, mainly the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1, which will raise our average selling price and lead to an increase in RF lens sales.

Additionally, due to the spread of SNS, the popularity of compact cameras that can easily capture images that differ from those of smartphones is growing among young people. As a result, we are seeing a buildup of orders, mainly for higher priced models like the PowerShot G7 X Mark III. We aim to

Canon 28-105mm F4 and 24-35mm F2 Patents Found


Canon filed patents for a Canon 28-105mm F4 and 24-35mm F2 lens that you can read below:

overview

  • [Publication number] P2025019790
  • [Release date] 2025-02-07
  • [Name of invention] Zoom lens and imaging device
  • [Application date] 2023-07-28
  • [Applicant]
    [Identification number] 000001007
    [Name or company name] Canon Inc.
  • [Background Art]
    [0002]
    In order to realize a small-sized, large-aperture zoom lens with well-corrected aberrations, it is preferable to arrange an aspherical lens with strong refractive power in a lens group near an aperture stop through which a large diameter of light passes. In addition, in order to reduce the weight of the zoom lens, it is preferable to use a resin material as the lens material.
  • [0003]
    However, the shape and refractive index of resin lenses change significantly with temperature changes, which can easily cause fluctuations in the focal position and aberration. Patent Document 1 discloses a zoom lens in which a resin lens with positive refractive power and a resin lens with negative refractive power are arranged in the same lens group, so that fluctuations in the focal position and aberration caused by temperature changes are cancelled out between the resin lenses.
  • [0004]
    In addition, generally, high-dispersion resin materials have a high water absorption rate, and the shape and refractive index change significantly with changes in humidity. Therefore, when a high-dispersion material is used for a resin lens, such as the zoom lens of Patent Document 1, the fluctuations in the focus position and aberration due to moisture absorption are large, and it is necessary to suppress this. However, since it takes a long time for the characteristics of a moisture-absorbed resin lens to stabilize and the degree of moisture absorption varies from resin lens to resin lens, it is difficult to predict the fluctuations in the focus position and aberration due to changes in humidity, and it is difficult to cancel out the fluctuations between resin lenses. Patent Document 2 discloses a method of weakening the refractive power of a resin lens using a high-dispersion material as a method of suppressing the fluctuations in the focus position and aberration due to changes in humidity.
  • The
    present invention provides a small, lightweight zoom lens that uses a resin lens and is capable of suppressing degradation of optical performance due to changes in temperature and humidity.


Example 1

  • Focal length: 24.70-48.80
  • F-number: 2.90
  • Half angle of view: 37.93-23.91
  • Image height: 19.25-21.64
  • Total length: 127.00-146.40
  • Back focus: 19.97-29.15

  • Image height: 19.04-21.64
  • Total length: 141.13-173.50
  • Back focus: 13.00-31.83


Example 4

  • Focal length: 28.84-101.85
  • F-number: 4.12
  • Half angle of view: 33.94-11.99
  • Image height: 19.41-21.64
  • Overall length: 185.56-248.11
  • Back focus: 19.76-23.79


Example 5

  • Focal length: 24.70-33.95
  • F-number: 2.06
  • Half angle of view: 37.63-31.36
  • Image height: 19.04-20.69
  • Overall length: 142.44-130.51
  • Back focus: 13.00-18.74


Example 6

  • Focal length: 24.70-33.95
  • F-number: 3.61
  • Half angle of view: 37.62-31.76
  • Image height: 19.04-21.02
  • Overall length: 117.52-107.27
  • Back focus: 13.12-12.12

Canon Might Release A Canon PowerShot V1 Compact Camera With a M43 Sensor



43Addict shared a rumor that Canon would be joining the m43 alliance with a new compact point-and-shoot camera the Canon PowerShot V1. I think it is more likely that Canon would use a 1-inch sensor or even an APS-C senor, but we will see when Q2 2025 rolls around. The image shared in the post is AI-generated. The rumored specifications are below:

  • 24MP CMOS Sensor (approx)
  • 16-50mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • 3″ Screen (Approx 1 million pixels)
  • The screen has a 170° viewing angle
  • 4K Video (Very slight crop, but likely for aspect ratio)
  • 1.4X Crop Mode for Stills
  • RAW, C-RAW, Dual Pixel RAW
  • H.265 / HEVC
  • C-Log3 / HDR PQ
  • Launch: Late Q1/Early Q2 2025
