In continuation of our previous Big-5 (but full-frame) piece, we are now on Amazon’s Best-Selling New Releases list, which is one of the most reliable real-world indicators of what creators are actually buying. Not what brands are pushing, not what specs look good on paper, but what people are spending money on right now. These 5 cameras currently dominate that list, each for very different reasons. From affordable hybrids to full-frame powerhouses and true cinema tools, this is a snapshot of where the market is heading. Below are the Big Five, ranked from No.1 to No.5 based on current (!) Amazon momentum.
FUJIFILM X-T30 III
The X-T30 III sits at No.1 because it hits a sweet spot that many cameras miss. Compact size, strong image quality, modern autofocus, and a price that still feels reasonable in 2026. It uses Fujifilm’s APS-C sensor paired with the brand’s well-known color science, making it especially attractive for photographers and casual video creators who want great results without complexity. This model is also Amazon’s Choice, which explains its strong sales velocity. The downside is limited internal video depth compared to higher-end bodies and no in-body stabilization, but as a daily carry hybrid camera, it is extremely well balanced with other beasts!

Sony Alpha 7 V
Sony’s Alpha 7 V is one of the most capable full-frame hybrid cameras currently available on Amazon, and it shows in its No.2 ranking. The stacked full-frame sensor enables blackout-free shooting, fast readout, and excellent rolling shutter control. AI-driven autofocus is one of the best in the industry, making it ideal for wildlife, sports, events, and hybrid creators who shoot both stills and video. 5-axis in-body stabilization adds versatility for handheld work. The main drawback is price, which puts it firmly in the professional tier, but buyers clearly see value in its reliability and performance.

Nikon RED Z Cinema Camera
This camera represents a major shift in the market. The Nikon RED Z Cinema Camera brings RED color science and a 6K full-frame sensor into the Nikon Z ecosystem, and Amazon buyers are clearly paying attention. It is built for serious video production, offering cinematic image pipelines, high-quality internal recording, and professional monitoring options, including a 4-inch DCI-P3 display. It is not a casual hybrid camera, and photography is not its main focus, but for filmmakers who want a compact cinema body without stepping into traditional RED pricing, this model makes a strong case. Just a question: Will it be approved by Netflix?

Canon EOS R6 Mark III
The EOS R6 Mark III continues Canon’s strategy of refining one of its most popular hybrid platforms. It delivers excellent autofocus, strong low-light performance, fast burst rates, and dependable video quality in a compact full-frame body. It is also labeled Amazon’s Choice, which reflects strong buyer confidence. This camera is especially appealing to photographers who also shoot video regularly, such as wedding shooters, journalists, and content creators. The main limitation is its lack of extreme video specs compared to cinema-focused models, but its consistency and usability are exactly why it sells so well.

Canon EOS C50
At No.5, the Canon EOS C50 (now Netflix Approved!) targets a very different audience than the other cameras on this list. This is a true Cinema EOS camera designed for professional video production, featuring Canon’s color science, advanced codecs, and a body optimized for rigging and long-form shooting. It is priced higher and clearly not intended for casual users, but its presence on the Best-Selling New Releases list shows growing demand for compact cinema tools that fit modern workflows. The trade-off is limited photography capability and a learning curve for users coming from mirrorless hybrids.

Final takeaway
What makes this Big Five list interesting is how diverse it is. From an affordable APS-C hybrid at No.1 to cinema-grade tools further down the list, Amazon buyers are not chasing one category. They are choosing cameras that fit specific creative goals. If you are shopping right now, these 5 models represent the clearest signal of what the market currently trusts, uses, and values. For ongoing Amazon camera trend analysis, price movement tracking, and buyer behavior insights, we will continue monitoring this list closely. Stay tuned.
