7th best selling mirrorless camera in Japan

Sorry if I double post, didn't see this anywhere.

QuoteQuote:
Rank Manufacturer Model Sensor size Share of sales (%)
1 Olympus E-PL3 MFT 10.6
2 Sony NEX-5N APS-C 10.3
3 Canon EOS M APS-C 9.2
4 Olympus E-PM1 MFT 9.1
5 Panasonic GF5 MFT 8.9
6 Nikon J1 1" sensor 8.3
7 Pentax Ricoh Q 1/2.3" sensor 5.9
8 Sony NEX-F3 APS-C 5.4
9 Sony NEX-C3 APS-C 5.3
10Olympus E-PL5 MFT 3.5

BCNranking published the top 10 best selling mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras in Japan for the period of January to September, 2012. Some interesting points:

Fujfilm is completely missing from the top 10 list.
Canon is already at the #3 spot after they announced their first mirrorless camera in July, 2012.
Nikon 1 J1 sales are better then I expected (ranked #6).
In January 2012 sales of mirrorless camera made for 52.4% of the total cameras sold in Japan (in September 2012 this number dropped to around 45% From Photo Rumors

:-)

Looks like Q might sell better than K-5 in Japan.

BTW, it looks like Q is No:1 selling MILC in Japan ATM, if trusting this list.
