After one month the Nikon D800 got dethroned from the most sold digital camera ranking at Amazon (Click here). And surprise…the merit goes to the Sony HX9V 🙂
But now let’s talk about lenses. While Sony increased the prices of their Alpha mount lenses Sigma now started a new price drop on three lenses. You can check the list and deals at BHphoto (Click here). And there is also a new $100 off on A77/65 and lens bundle options at Amazon (Click here).

come on!
those cameras are not the same category
and btw, does it mean Amazon has D800 in stock
?
Iphone cameras beats hx9v sales by 1000000 to 1
I would rather have a £100 price drop on the NEX-7.
I hope the big news you mentioned on facebook is true and is about a new FF A mount camera!!!!
he didn’t say it was A mount…he just said FF.
If Nikon 800 is #1, it makes the news here. If it is #2 it makes the news here. How far would it go? Until #10 spot or further down?
D800 sales figure report instead of Sony Alpha Rumors? 😉
seriously
I think the report here is to show that Sony beat the D800 in sales…although of course it was with a P&S.
this would be good…if the sony wasnt a 12th of the price of the nikon :L
On the other hand, the Sony has been for sale for ten times as long, and after a year the potential market would be saturated, so it’s still not all that bad.
Hmmm a compact selling more than a DSLR, shocker
Yes beating D800… Sure… Sell 12 of those for every D800, that’d be beating ($$$), and beating on real life would be actually having a better camera… So… Beating?
Your title is funny. I know that you are trying to encourage Sony followers. 🙂
Its like saying a renault clio sold more than a ferarri 😉
Clio is the best seller for Renault! 😉
Hm, wonder whats so good about HX9V. Sure it does take decent photos, but still.. nothing special.
It has the best video of any compact. It is a travel zoom which are mighty popular and in that catagory is probably the best, apart from some minor flaws that don’t appear on a spec sheet – this is probably why? Plus it has just been superceeded so probably has some decent discounts on it at the moment.
Funny I remember arguing with someone on DPR, they were trying to tell me NOBODY would buy this, too many MP, not enough IQ, people want DSLRs only 🙂
Well, downsized output seemed pretty good. If its capable of 1080p, then for that money I understand why. 😀
If you shoot videos, then the HX9V is one of the compact cameras that is capable of excellent 1080p captures.
Another way to look at this is that Nikon should be happy that their expensive full frame dslr is only dethroned by one p&s camera and no other dslrs. I’d rather hear new rumors of future high quality Nex lenses. Currently have the Zeiss and 50mm. Would really like a high quality 24mm equivalent. This blog has an infatuation with Sony’s marketshare, much like the m43 rumor site. Marketshare doesn’t affect our photography.
“Marketshare doesn’t affect our photography.”
+1
Neither do any reviews (+ve or -ve)! 😉
An expensive dSLR like this will only stay at the top for a short while, there is some 4 years of pent up demand for the new camera so everyone is bursting to buy it as soon as available, then numbers drop of. P&S’s probably outsell all dSLRs 10:1?
True, the ranking is due to pent up demand, the D800 is a big step up from the D700 and Nikon users have been waiting for a while. Still that it was no. one for a while and is only now fallen behind a P&S is remarkable. The Canon 5DmIII is way down the list. Of course it is a smaller upgrade than the D800 and Canon raised the price a lot. Nikon has a mega-hit on its hands. Depressing is how far down the list the Sony SLTs are. Sony looks good on P&S and compact system cameras, but not so good on DSLR lists.
Why do people buy more civic than bmw?
$$
Why hookers give more heads
Rebates are great! Looking to pick up a 70-200…
A Sony point and shoot camera sells better than a Nikon professional FF DSLR? This is awesome news and truely a turning point for Sony!
this is the same hx9v that they refuse to bring a firmware update to. hmmmm…
