There are plenty of digital cameras out there to choose from. From entry-level models to DSLRs and mirrorless, they all offer high-quality image processing, great image stabilization, a variety of shooting modes, and more features. In this article, we’ll take a look at the best cameras for photography. We’ll also dive into the pros and cons of each camera as well as its unique selling points and how it compares to others on our list.
While these are some of the most popular brands, you should be able to find options from many different manufacturers. The following section will identify which of them is best for the kind of professional or amateur photographer you are.
The Top 5 Digital Cameras for Photographs
First up is our top choice on the market. It’s called Nikon D850. This model gives you an incredible combination of quality, performance, and price. While its advanced AF system does use a bit of a learning curve, it is still one of the very few that can do something like the f/3.5 wide-angle without having to zoom in by 10x the actual focal length. The autofocus capabilities even include tracking moving subjects. On top of that, you get 12 stops of built-in ND filter which means that you only have to worry about focusing on one subject at a time. Overall, the device has everything you need for an image editor including RAW support, 4K video recording capability, and more. You will have multiple lenses available with this device too, so you will also be able to shoot more than one lens in your images as long you don’t mind spending more money.
Next on our list is Canon EOS 200D. If you are looking for the most affordable option on this list, then you may want to consider the Panasonic RX100-DC since both have excellent specs. Both models have been used by professionals for years across their respective industries. The Canon model is really geared towards film and while you lose a little bit of functionality in that field out of the box, it is still capable of producing decent shots in terms of low light and weather conditions. All things considered, it offers solid value for what it can provide – especially if you opt for the less expensive version. A slightly smaller aperture in this model would also be nice – but not required, since standard manual mode works fine and allows users to capture just about anything. Lastly, it is extremely easy to use once you learn a couple of key commands: shutter speed + stop-frame, exposure compensation (1/8 EV) and focus breathing. And when you try and shoot yourself, the results are pretty flawless.
Last but not least on this list is Fujifilm X-T30. Now if you are interested in shooting other people in stunning portraits, then this might be the perfect camera for you. As mentioned above, the company behind this device has been working in the photo industry for over 20 years. They actually specialize in creating portrait photographs that feature natural lighting as well as using filters to enhance particular lighting situations. Another thing they specialize in is “portrait portraits in nature” or “naked portraiture.” Like many of their competitors, there has been nothing but good reviews throughout the years. They have a large selection of lenses that make it easy to pick up your new favorite tool. What sets this camera apart from the rest though, is how they add special effects in post-production. Not only do they give off vintage-style portraits, but they also allow you to adjust various settings such as contrast, tonality, and depth. So you no longer have to rely on presets from previous photographers to make sure your portraits look nice. One thing you should keep in mind is their relatively low battery life with a typical usage being around 18 hours depending on the lens selected and configuration. And for those who work mostly indoors, they certainly don’t cut it either. When it comes to features, this is another budget-friendly option to look into if you are looking for a camera that won’t break the bank.
If you are more of a pro photographer, then you do need to go with a brand other than Sony, Nikon, or Canon due to their impressive reputation in certain aspects. With that said, let’s take a look at the companies that we have chosen as honorable mentions.
The Most Versatile and Affordable Option on Our List is OPPO FZ10V.
First, let’s talk about size. Yes, it was originally designed as portable only and had to fit in a pocket! After that, however, it has now become incredibly versatile and can literally hold almost any piece of equipment inside. No matter what area you work in, there’s a small compartment inside to store all your necessities. It’s got a dual-lens optical viewfinder and a detachable frame as well. Plus, it has an 8fps burst mode which is quite quick and effective in capturing fast-moving action. Then again, even its slower version has enough power for those who are serious photographers.
Secondly, it offers a lot of customization options, especially if you wish to replace parts like sensors and memory cards. You can set the frame rate to 1.7 fps or 2.9 fps and that’s it. Just plug in the SD card and connect the sensor as usual. That is all before you set the firmware parameters or adjust the ISO speed. Once you’ve done all that, then you set your desired resolution and click on start. But first, you have to make sure that you’ve got a USB cable running through your computer to charge the screen and transfer the images to the printer. Otherwise, you could end up with a blank page. Also, read our review of the latest generation of the OPPO FZ10. In this particular case, we were impressed with the build quality of the device along with the display itself. Even though it doesn’t match quite as much of a premium design as the older ones from OPPO, it is definitely easier on your wallet. Finally, it is still completely capable of handling any camera thanks to its lightweight design, and that’s exactly why you need to buy it right away.
The Latest Choice: RedMagic GR2
Moving onto the next edition of our favorite gadget series. We’re talking about the next big release from Fuji – the RED MAGIC GR2. Unlike many of the other offerings in this category from the brand, the GR2 is simply capable of taking care of your needs while looking stylish at the same time. You will find several configurations possible with the main one being the basic setting of 3G for $1,399.99 but the option of 4G adds roughly $200 worth of additional cost. But that’s not all. To finish off this already exciting collection, there’s the optional Pro version which costs around $1,999.99. Again, it basically lets you create the best portraits possible given the 6x optical zoom system and a fantastic array of advanced functions that will leave you bragging about your photos all day long. We’ve only included a couple of specs below the normal ones from the original RedMagic GR1 but the current lineup has improved significantly in every aspect. From picture quality and usability to a more powerful processor compared to the past generations (which you will never get tired of), there are quite a few benefits packed into the GR2 models. We think it is definitely worth considering for anyone who wants to spend an extra $200 without sacrificing any quality. And with its amazing colors, crisp details, and dynamic range, it makes us believe that it is indeed worth buying.
Another thing worth mentioning is its auto White balance mode. With just a press of one button, the entire lineup from the GR1 is automatically adjusted according to how bright and white the subject is supposed to appear. It takes just seconds and when you try it, the results are absolutely unbelievable in both black and white tones. Definitely worth giving a shot to everyone who is curious in any way.
The Only Real Compliment Is…
The last two devices listed here aren’t in fact terribly well known. That is because they are relatively niche and not widely available yet. However, we decided to include them out of respect for their creators and customers. These devices are probably better known for being compact cameras and are often used as alternatives to full-size DSLR cameras. While they have a similar purpose they aim to serve, the biggest difference is going over a wider frame. Instead of providing more flexibility, the full glass form factor allows you to snap an amazing close-up picture and they are just so darn cute to hold. Or, as DJ Quik says:
“The PXW25, as the name implies, packs a whole lot of awesome features into a tiny camera body. With superior durability, sharper imaging, and intuitive controls, the PXW25 provides a unique experience for creative professionals and amateurs alike. Its simple user interface and streamlined camera controls allow for comfortable operation and enhanced productivity."
We hope the above articles allowed you to get a closer look at the newest releases from major players offering similar products. And hopefully, you will have a clearer idea of what sort of photographer you are and whether you should get this specific camera or not.
