Video quality is also excellent, with 10-bit 4:2:2 N-Log output possible over HDMI. The 24-megapixel full-frame sensor has excellent dynamic range, and the phase-detect autofocus system is one of the best I've used. The Nikon Z6 II is Nikon's answer to the Sony A7III, and it is a good answer for dedicated Nikon shooters. Also, the X-H2 has a rotating screen, which the X-T5 lacks. ★ Alternatives: The Fujilfilm X-T4 ($1,549) remains a solid choice, especially if you want a fully articulated rear screen, which is helpful when shooting video of yourself. Specs: 40-megapixel XTrans APS-C sensor, 15 fps with full AF, 4K/60fps video, dual SD cards My only real gripe is the grip it's on the small side for a body of this size. Plus, Fujifilm's excellent line of lenses is surprisingly affordable relative to some of the others on the list, making this one of the least expensive systems to invest in. ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and shooting modes are all accessible via physical dials.
The camera body's design is reminiscent of film cameras, and perhaps the best thing about it is how seldom you need to use digital controls. The X-T5 is more focused on the shooter of stills, while the updated X-H2 ($2,500 with XF16-80mm Lens Kit) is the best option for those more interested in video. This sensor also manages to retain that uniquely Fujifilm look. Images from the X-T5 are sharp, wonderfully detailed, and don't suffer too much noise. Fujifilm uses APS-C sensors, which are smaller than the full-frame sensors in the rest of the cameras in this guide, but with the 40-megapixel sensor in the new X-T5 you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference. The Fujifilm X-T5 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best camera I've tested this year. ★ Alternative: If you don't need the new autofocus features, the A7III remains a solid choice, and it's frequently on sale for under $1,800. Specs: 33-megapixel full-frame sensor, 10 frames per second (fps), 7K oversampled 4K/30fps video, SD and Express cards Luckily there are enough customizable buttons that it's not too difficult to set things up so you never need to dive into the menus. What I don't like about it, or any other Sony, is the labyrinthine menu system. There are better still cameras (see the Sony A7RIV below) and better video cameras, but nothing else combines the two quite as well. The five-axis image stabilization means you can hand-hold it in lower light, and the wide range of 4K video options make it the best all-around video-and-stills combo on this page. It's compact and light enough to carry all day without back strain, and the grip is comfortable. Sony's A7 IV ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a 33-megapixel, full-frame camera capable of incredibly sharp images, with excellent dynamic range and the best autofocus system on the market.

I've spent years testing dozens of cameras in all kinds of shooting scenarios to come up with what I think are the best choices for different types of photographers.īe sure to check out our many other buying guides, like the Best Compact Cameras, Best Camera Bags, and Best Action Cameras. Still, choosing the right one can be confusing. Which one is right for you depends more on your needs than on the size of the sensor. All these cameras are capable of producing amazing images. That's why this guide doesn't get too deep into the weeds of megapixel counts, sensor sizes, and pixel peeping. That's not to say gear doesn't matter, just that it's best used in service of something larger. The vision you have and the work you put into realizing it are far more critical. You know what's the least important part of taking a great photo? Gear.
