Japan BCN results are out. Canon? still in there at #2 for mirrorless.. over .. who? Sony.

BCN released it's report today for the last year's results of their sales surveys.  In a nutshell for the three centric areas we are interested in here:

Digital Cameras - with lenses

  1. Canon (27.9%) up from 27.3%
  2. Nikon (25.5%) up from 22.1%
  3. Casio (17.2%) down from 19.3%

Digital Cameras - DSLR

  1. Canon (61.1%) down from 63.3%
  2. Nikon (34.4%) up from 31.6%
  3. Ricoh (4.2%) down from 4.8%

Digital Cameras - Mirrorless

  1. Olympus (27.7%) up from 26.8%
  2. Canon (21.3%) up from 18.5%
  3. Sony (20.2%) up from 17.9%

Canon continues it's dominance over the field with respects to DSLR's and contrary to popular belief, grew 2.8% in the tough mirrorless field over some pretty staunch competitors.

BCN records sales receipts from around 50% of all retailers in Japan. it's a highly accurate survey of the industry in Japan.

Edit:  we have a real shocker when it comes to lenses (this was hidden in another major category)

  1. Canon (21.9%) down from 24%
  2. Sigma (16.2%) up from 14.3%
  3. Tamron (13.7%) up from at least 12.5% (Nikon placed third last year)

Nikon drops off the list for lenses.

How to view Japan Patent applications.

Unfortunately, there's no direct way of linking to the patent application (sad!) however, this is the easiest process to view a japan patent or application.

  1. Go to the Japan Patent Office search page.
  2. If it's a patent application (they are usually in the format of Year-Number ie: 2017-011300) then type the patent application number into the second field down from the top where it says publication of patent application. 
  3. Click on search.
  4. Then click on the patent application number link, and there's the patent application!
