As you know a sudden increase of demand for the Olympus E-P7 forced OM Digital to stop accepting preorders. Yesterday OM Dgitial issued that press note in Japan (google translated):

Thank you for your continued patronage of OM Digital Solutions products.

Regarding the mirrorless single-lens camera “PEN E-P7,” for which we have temporarily suspended accepting orders, we will resume accepting orders from retailers and our online store from 10:00 a.m. on August 5, 2024.

We deeply apologize to our customers and all concerned parties for the inconvenience caused to those who have been waiting for a long time. Regarding the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera “OM-D E-M10 Mark IV,” we will resume accepting orders as soon as we have a prospect of supply, so we ask for your patience for a little while longer.

We will continue to strive to further improve our services, so we appreciate your continued patronage.

Four days left to order the Light Meter Lit Duo 1 on Kickstarter (Click here). It is made by a Swedish company that had the nice idea of making it look a little like Nintendo :)
The meter is close to raising a million dollars, not only because it looks good but also because it has a ton of useful features! Check out the description page to see why it is a useful tool for photographers and filmmakers.

This is how it works:

BCN reported the mirrorless market share for the month of June:

• Sony 33%
• Canon 25.7%
• Nikon 17.4%
• Fujifilm 10.7%
• Others 12.9%

Sony took the top spot with 33.3% of the manufacturer’s market share, overtaking Canon to regain the top spot. Fujifilm came in fourth with a 10.7% share. This was the first time the company had been in the top four in 24 years. The release of the “FUJIFILM X-T50” boosted its market share.

The top 10 o the best selling cameras is:

1. Sony ZV-E10
2. Canon EOS R50
3. Canon EOS R10
4. Sony A6400
5. Nikon Z30
6. FujiFilm X-T50
7. Sony α7C II
8. Nikon Zfc
9. Lumix G100D
10. Nikon Z50

Sony’s “VLOGCAM ZV-E10” took the top spot in the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera series sales ranking for June 2024. We look back on the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera market in June 2024 from the “BCN Ranking,” which compiles actual sales data from electronics retailers and online stores.
Following the No. 1 VLOGCAM ZV-E10 is the Canon EOS R50, which has maintained second place since January 2012. The company also has the EOS R10 in third place, meaning that two of its products are ranked in the top three. The top three products have remained unchanged for three consecutive months since April 2012.
New to the top ten is Fujifilm’s FUJIFILM X-T50. This new product features an appearance reminiscent of a classic film camera, and it got off to a good start in sixth place since its release month.
Sony’s α7C II is the only full-frame camera to make it into the top ten. It dropped one rank from sixth place last month to seventh place.
