"9" seems to be selling well as a camera that costs ~200.000 yen. BIC camera (one of the largest camera shops in Japan) reports the top five selling SLRs for the last month. 1. F100 (Nikon) 2. EOS3 (Canon) 3. MZ10 (Pentax) 4. Alpha Sweet (Minolta) 5. Alpha 9 (Minolta) Leicalement, Mikiro Strasbourg, Europe http://members.tripod.com/arbos3/cigogne/index.html
