Zoom-Ready Compact Cameras Lead Japan’s Best-Sellers, Outpacing Smartphones

Japanese retailer data for the first half of April 2026 shows compact cameras selling strong with a clear zoom theme: top models like Canon PowerShot SX740 HS offer long optical zoom in pocketable bodies, followed by other zoom-focused and vlog-friendly options (Sony ZV-1 II, Panasonic TZ99/TS99, Canon IXY 650/PowerShot 360 HS, Ricoh GR IV family, OM System TOUGH TG‑7). The trend highlights demand for real optical zoom and practical features in compact form, rather than purely smartphone-like portability.

"Realme's Periscope Camera: The Game-Changer in Smartphone Photography"

Phones with periscope cameras, such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, offer significant advantages in smartphone photography. Periscope lenses use a sequence of lenses and mirrors to bend light at a 90-degree angle, allowing for a longer lens to be fitted inside the phone without significantly increasing its thickness. These cameras provide optical zoom capabilities, enabling users to capture clear and detailed photos even at a distance. They are particularly beneficial for city dwellers, allowing them to appreciate architectural details and capture moments that might otherwise be missed. Periscope cameras also enhance regular photography by enabling better cropping and producing high-quality portrait mode shots.
