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.

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. At $2300 for just the body, the EOS R is a serious purchase, especially so for many photographers contemplating their first move into a full-frame camera system.You know what's the least important part of taking a great photo? Gear. Compact, sturdy and built around a big 30MP full-frame sensor from the 5D Mark IV, the EOS R - though not a "pro-tier" camera - was aimed at a more enthusiast audience, with a characteristically higher price tag to match. In fact, at this point, the Canon EOS RP is the most affordable all-new full-frame camera on the market.īack towards the end of 2018, Canon debuted their first full-frame mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R.

Canon's latest mirrorless offering, the full-frame EOS RP, is a rather impressive little camera, with an equally impressive price tag for a full-frame camera. While a lot of folks get caught in the hype for the latest high-end flagship camera, most of those types of camera are big, feature-packed and complex to operate, not to mention often extremely expensive for the majority of photographers out there.
