Sony DSC-W830

Compact mid-range cameras are fewer and fewer. Among these you will find the Cyber-Shot W830 , aesthetically simple and structurally comfortable, which on its side has a 20.1 megapixel sensor (1 / 2.3 “CCD) and an 8x optical zoom. Too bad for the videos only at 720p, but after all it costs only € 100.

Canon Powershot G7 X Mark II

In our list of premium compacts we find this camera with a 20 megapixel 1 “BSI CMOS sensor , which with its DIGIC 7 processor  offers sensitivity between ISO 125 and 12800, expandable to ISO 25600. The strengths of this compact are different , starting with the  bright  24-100 mm F1.8-2.8 equivalent zoom. Too bad for the videos that, although well implemented (in terms of autofocus and quality), stop at  1080p at 60 fps . autonomy is subdued However, the product in question proves to be an excellent alternative for those looking for a valid travel companion and for those who prefer the RAW format .

S-Log2/S-Gamut 2 e S-Log3/S-Gamut3 e Gamma Display Assist.

Olympus PEN E-PL10

Olympus  PEN E-PL10  is the relatively newcomer of the Japanese house in the low-end of its mirrorless cameras. Despite this  amateur nature  we find many features of the OM-D tops. The sensor is a 16 megapixel 4/3 (ISO 100 – 25,600), flanked by 121-point autofocus , which is well suited for  bursts  at 8.6 fps , and a stabilization system that promises up to 3.5 stops of earning .

Fujifilm X-E4

Fujifilm X-E4 continues the Japanese house ‘s tradition of compact mirrorless cameras . Being the direct heir of the Fujifilm X-E3, it inherits the vintage design from the latter. It is a small camera (the most compact of the X series) but complete at 360 °: it is equipped with an APS-C sensor, interchangeable lenses, good auto-focus system and good software. You will surely notice the presence of the excellent X-Trans 4, a 26.1 megapixel APS-C sensor . The electronic viewfinder of the Fujifilm X-E4 is slightly shifted towards the left side (a peculiarity already seen on the X-E3, as a trademark of the company). Finally, there are Wi-Fi wireless connectivity (on the 2.4 GHz band) and Bluetooth 4.2.

Fujifilm X-S10

Fujifilm X-S10  is a strange  mirrorless , with interchangeable lenses, launched by the Japanese company. It boasts a fresh and modern design, which comes very close to that of the latest Canon and Sony. The hardware of the  Fujifilm X-S10  is almost identical to that of the Fujifilm X-T4 (The APS-C sensor is the excellent 26.1 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 , while the image processor is an X- Processor 4 ); the differences are really minimal and concern some very specific components, namely stabilization and connectivity. On the back there are the 3 “touchscreen LCD display in 3: 2 format and the  0.39″ OLED electronic viewfinder, which is activated automatically thanks to the proximity sensor.

Fujifilm X-H2S

Fujifilm X-H2S  is the  best APS-C mirrorless of 2022 . The first-in-class hardware includes a fifth generation image sensor and processor. The image quality remained super high compared to the X-T4, but on this model the shutter speed is much faster. The real strength is the  new video features , with 6.2K, ProRes, F-Log2 and much more. X-H2S is therefore a hybrid mirrorless perfect for professionals who need very fast bursts and high quality video. For more information, we refer you to our review.

Nikon Z9 is the most advanced full frame mirrorless camera ever made. Designed entirely for wildlife, sports and photo-sport photography, it features a brand new 45.7 megapixel stacked CMOS sensor . Moving the device is the ultra-fast EXPEED 7 processor . Aesthetically it is compact and made of magnesium alloy. It boasts a comfortable 4-axis vertical and horizontal tilting monitor. Excellent electronic viewfinder with a brightness of 3,000nit. Additionally, videos can be shot in 8K UHD, 4K UHD and 4K at 120p.

Fujifilm GFX100S

Fujifilm GFX100S is a mirrorless with exceptional image quality. It has a 102 megapixel medium format sensor , the same as the GFX100 from which it takes inspiration, but the dimensions of the body – comparable to those of a Full Frame – are relatively compact for such a machine. The displays of the GFX100S are two. The main one on the back is a large (3.2 “) TFT LCD with good resolution (2.36 megapixels). The secondary display is located on the top and is a 1.8″ monochrome LCD. The resolution is low (303 × 230 points) but sufficient to show the information very clearly. With 2,200mAh batteryyou can get up to 460 shots or record up to 60 minutes of 4K video .

Canon EOS R3

Among the biggest innovations present in this camera we have the 24.1 megapixel backlit stacked CMOS sensor , capable of completely eliminating image distortions. Another novelty is the electronic shutter that can be used for the first time with a Canon flash and allows you to shoot up to 30 fpswith AE and AF tracking also in RAW, with the possibility of going down to 15 and 3 fps. The EOS R3 is the fastest EOS R series camera that has ever been made and the reason is obvious. The focus is just 0.03 seconds, a speed beyond expectations. There is no lack of remote control thanks to Canon’s dedicated Camera Connect app. A sturdy, durable, yet elegant and refined camera. Although it is a rather expensive product, we highly recommend it. If you are looking for a professional camera and budget is no problem for you, the EOS R3 is the way to go.

Sony Alpha 1

Sony Alpha 1 is a complete 360 ​​° product, as it is both a very high performance camera and a professional camcorder. A novelty worthy of consideration is the new Exmor RS back-illuminated full-frame sensor (50 million stacked pixels, capable of up to 120 AF / AE calculations per second and recording video in 8K 30p) assisted by the image processing processor . BIONZ XR (can support up to 30 fpswithout interruptions). Also new are the electronic and mechanical shutter. But the real and important novelty of this camera lies in the ability to work seamlessly at maximum resolution with bursts at 30 fps with no blackout in the viewfinder. In addition, it boasts uncompromising connectivity (Wi-Fi connection on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands or via cable). An expensive device but with the characteristics of a worthy top of the range . 

Canon EOS 4000D

Canon’s latest  entry level  SLR is this EOS 4000D. It features an  18 megapixel APS-C sensor  flanked by a DIGIC 4+ processor   . It can thus shoot, with bursts up to 3 fps, photos between 100 and 6,400 ISO (12,800 in expansion mode). The basic functions are all there, such as manual shooting modes and classic  scenes , plus you will find  Full HD videos  up to 30 fps in addition to Wi-Fi to control the camera even from a smartphone. Price  is a  really cool aspect of this camera.

Nikon D3500

In this range you will also find the relatively new  Nikon D3500 , a 24 megapixel APS-C with EXPEED 4 processor . It offers an 11-point focusing system and bursts reach 5 fps. Sensitivity can be set between ISO 100 and 25,600. Interesting, for the category, the 1080p videos at 60 fps but the Wi-Fi is missing, replaced by Bluetooth ( SnapBridge ). All in all a pretty good entry level .

Canon EOS 250D

This Canon EOS 250D  is proposed as an entry level camera , but with the components (sensor, image processor and Dual Pixel autofocus) of a certain level . Although it costs a little more than the alternatives in this range, it is proposed as a valid investment capable of accompanying and satisfying both those approaching the world of photography and those looking for a quality but not too expensive solution. Onboard 24 megapixel APS-C sensor , DIGIC 8 image processor , to shoot between ISO 100 and 25,600 and shoot videos in 4K up to 25 fps (1080p 60 fps), Dual Pixel autofocus, rotatable and flip display, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.

On board the high-performance  Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology , already seen on many other mid-high-end Canon cameras and which works very well even on the most difficult subjects. However, this is only used in “Live View” mode, ie when the optical viewfinder is excluded. Otherwise the  77D  uses a  45-point cross-stitch system . 1080p video at 60 fps, Wi-Fi and NFC complete the picture of this reflex.

Nikon D5600

This  Nikon D5600  compact DSLR integrates a  24 megapixel APS-C sensor , without low pass filter (OLPF), and managed by EXPEED 4 processor. Also on this Nikon the  ISO range  goes between 100 and 25,600, the gusts are from 5 fps and  Full HD video at 60 fps .

The display is an articulated 3.2 “and the connectivity sector includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC ( SnapBridge ).

Nikon D7500

Among the top of the mid-range is Nikon’s very interesting D7500 . Interesting because it shares a lot with the flagship D500, while costing a little less. Inside the body (almost the same as the previous D7200) a 20 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor flanked by an Expeed 5 image processor . With this supply it shoots between ISO 100 and 1,640,000 and shoots videos up to 4K at 30 fps . The bursts reach 8 fps and the autofocus sector + exposure calculation is also high-end.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

On this mark four you will find a 35 mm 30 megapixel sensor flanked by a DIGIC 6+ processor . The sensitivity range is between ISO 100 and 32,000, or ISO 50 to 102,400 in expanded mode. During framing and shooting, up to 4K at 30 fps (from which you can also extract 8.8 MP photos), in Live View mode you can use the fast and regular Dual Pixel AF focus system. With the viewfinder, on the other hand, 61 AF points are offered , 41 of which are cross-type. Despite the resolution, the gusts reach 7 fps. Still in the imaging sector, Dual Pixel Raw technology (in RAW) helps to correct small focus errors in post production . Present Wi-Fi, NFC and GPS. A machine that satisfies both the advanced amateur and the professional, but that gets paid.

Canon EOS 2000D

The EOS 2000D is equipped with a 24.1 megapixel APS-C sensor and is capable of taking fascinating photos, controlling the depth of field so that you can get a well-crafted image.

For the launch of Polaroid Go, the Go film was obviously also created, reproducing the classic square format of  Polaroid , but in a smaller version, suitable for this new camera.

Polaroid Now

The 2020 version of the  Polaroid camera  is a totally  analog version , losing the  smart functionality . This is a camera though improved where it counts. It now has a dual focus system and the quality of the lens and photo rendering is much superior. However, it remains a product for those who want to experiment and already know something about photography.

Panasonic Lumix GH5 II

The ergonomics of the  Panasonic Lumix GH5 II  are really good. The camera body is very similar to the first version, a positive factor since the first GH5 was also well built and very comfortable to use, both for photos and videos. The hardware changes compared to the first GH5 are small but important. The  Micro Four Thirds sensor  is the same, but on this mark 2 it has a low pass filter and an AR (Anti-Reflective) system, which reduces flare and visual artifacts, as well as slightly improving image definition.
