Sony A7III is again outselling the new Nikon Z cameras according to Amazon US

Note: The Amazon ranking gets updated hourly. Ranking may change after my post.

First of all Amazon US ranking (Click here) isn’t a scientific tool to measure a cameras success. But from experience I know that newly announced cameras that sell well are usually on top for weeks. So it’s interesting to see that four days after the announcement the Sony A7III is selling better than the Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z6 cameras.

Also Google trend seems to confirm that the A7III is more popular than the Z cameras:

I repeat, this is not a scientific analysis. But we can safely say the Nikon Z isn’t the big dealbreaker…yet. Let’s see if Canon will have a major impact with their FF mirrorless when they will announce it on September 5!
