As would be expected given the domination by Canon of the best selling dSLR camera list the dSLR lens list is also somewhat dominated by Canon with them taking the top two spots and three out of the top five bestselling dSLR lenses.
Looking at the top selling dSLR lens list for Christmas 2011 we can see that the list is just in favour of versatile lenses capable of a wide range of focal points with fixed focal length lenses coming a very close second in the most popular dSLR lenses.
In the final part of our best sellers for Christmas 2011 tomorrow we're taking a look at the best selling photography accessories for Christmas 2011.

Top Selling Compact Camera's for Christmas 2011
Thursday December 22nd, 2011 10:12 am
As part of our continuing theme of the best selling photographic items for Christmas 2011 we thought you may appreciate a list of the current best selling digital compact cameras. In this list we have digital compact cameras ranging from £50 to over £200.
- Panasonic Lumix TZ20 Digital Camera Black
- Panasonic Lumix FS16 Digital Camera Black
- Nikon Coolpix S3100 Digital Camera Black
- Fujifilm FinePix S4000 Digital Camera Black
- Canon IXUS 115 HS Digital Camera Silver
- Fujifilm FinePix HS20EXR Digital Camera Black
- Canon PowerShot SX220 HS Digital Camera Grey
- Canon IXUS 220 HS Black
- GoPro HD Motorsports HERO
- Fujifilm FinePix L55 Digital Camera Black
What we can see from the above list is the Panasonic Lumix TZ20 Digital Camera is the top selling digital camera for Christmas 2011. In fact different versions of the Panasonic Lumix line take the first two positions.
What's interesting from this list is Canon doesn't dominate it like it does with the top selling dSLR cameras listed yesterday. Another interesting point is that black is by far and away the favourite colour when it comes to a digital camera which is interesting as most high street stores sell digital compact cameras in a wide range of colours.
The price of a digital compact doesn't seem to be a major factor as the top ten list ranges in price from well over £200 to under £50. Also the megapixels resolution most people seem to be expecting in a digital camera today is 14MP with only the Fujifilm FinePix HS20EXR Digital Camera Black going as high as 16MP.
Tomorrow we'll have a look at the bestselling dSLR lenses for Christmas 2011.

Top Selling Digital SLR's for Christmas 2011
Wednesday December 21st, 2011 5:12 pm
As it's Christmas we thought you may appreciate a list of the top selling dSLR camera's available to buy for Christmas 2011. The list is dominated by the lower cost Canon EOS range such as the Canon 600D and 550D and most top sellers include the lens kit indicating they're being bought by first time buyers.
Below you'll find a list of the top selling digital SLR cameras available this Christmas 2011.
- Canon EOS 550D inc 18-55mm lens
- Canon EOS 600D inc 18-55mm lens
- Canon EOS 60D Camera (body only)
- Canon EOS 600D Body only
- Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera inc 18-55m lens
- Canon EOS 600D inc 18-135mm lens kit
- Canon EOS 550D Body only
- Nikon D3100 18-55mm lens kit
- Canon EOS 1100D inc 18-55mm lens kit
- Pentax K-x Digital SLR Camera inc 18-55mm lens kit
The interesting question has to be why is Canon managing to dominate the listings so much? Is it that the Canon dSLR cameras are simply a better camera than the Nikon and other brands or is it more to do with marketing and price?
Also of interest is noting that it's the Canon 550D and not the 600D which is the current top seller, so even though the 600D has a higher spec it's not managing to outsell its newer sibling.
Tomorrow we'll look at the top selling digital compact cameras for Christmas 2011.
