Best Cameras 2023
1. Nikon Z6 II
Specifications
-Resolution 24.5 MP
-Display 3.2-inch tilt-angle touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 14 fps
The Nikon Z6 II delivers photos and videos in top quality even in very low light and very high ISO setting. The professional system camera reacts lightning fast and is easy to use. For the series, the Z6 II is very fast with up to 14 frames per second and lasts a long time. The built-in image stabilizer balances wobbles of the photographer very well.
Pros
+ Two card slots: one for SD and one for XQD cards
+ Fast continuous shooting speed
+ Top image quality even in very little light
+ Autofocus reacts very quickly
+ Very large, very detailed viewfinder
Cons
- Display does not swivel forward
2. Canon EOS R5
Specifications
-Resolution 45 MP
-Display 3.15-inch tilting touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 20 fps
With the EOS R5, Canon shows that they are serious about the mirrorless system and brings a model tailored to professionals to the market. It is equipped with a high-resolution 45-megapixel sensor, which has its own stabilization. Despite the high resolution, the image results can score with very good noise behavior and high dynamics even in low light.
Pros
+ Excellent image quality
+ Powerful stabilizer and reliable autofocus
+ Good low-light properties
+ Ergonomic housing protected against dust and splash water
Cons
- Expensive
3. Sony Alpha 7R IV
Specifications
-Resolution 61 MP
-Display 3-inch tilting touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 10 fps
If you want maximum detail resolution in your images, the Alpha 7R IV with its 61-megapixel sensor is ideal. Among full-frame cameras, it is currently at the top in terms of resolution. Not only do you capture very fine details, you also have high reserves available if you still want to crop images after shooting. In order to make the most of the high sensor resolution, correspondingly high-quality lenses must also be used.
Pros
+ Very high sensor resolution
+ Pixel shift allows extremely high-resolution images
+ Great autofocus.
+ Unadulterated colors
Cons
- 4K only at 30 frames per second
- No 10-bit video recording
- Price tag
4. Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5M2
Specifications
-Resolution 20,3 MP
-Display 3-inch Free-angle LCD with static touch control
-Shooting Speed 12 fps
The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5M2 now supports the Cine4K format with 4,096 x 2,160 pixels and a color depth of 10 bits. The V-Log-L color profile is already pre-installed and does not have to be purchased as with the predecessor. Panasonic has also succeeded in reducing lens flares with a new sensor coating. The new GH5 version has also been upgraded in terms of streaming: with a Wi-Fi connection, you can stream videos live on YouTube, for example.
Pros
+ Advanced Video formats
+ Sensor coating minimizes lens flares
+ Image stabilizer and autofocus
Cons
- Limited low-light performance due to MFT sensor
- AF not at the top level
5. Fujifilm X-T4
Specifications
-Resolution 26.1 MP
-Display 3-inch tilt-angle touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 15 fps
Responsive, weatherproof, high speed: The Fujifilm X-T4 is a true professional model. It also leaves a little to be desired in terms of image quality. Video fans can look forward to 4K video at 60 frames per second. The built-in image stabilizer is a real gain over its predecessor. It ensures wobble-free images even at long exposure times. The viewfinder of the X-T4 is pretty big and very detailed, only in the color reproduction (a little too cool) it does not quite keep up with the top viewfinders.
Pros
+ 4K video at 60 frames per second
+ Weatherproof housing
+ High image quality
+ Fully movable display
+ Good battery life
Cons
- Sharpening tracking not always accurate
- No built-in flash
6. Nikon Z7 II
Specifications
-Resolution 45.7 MP
-Display 3.2-inch tilt-angle touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 10 fps
The Nikon Z7 II is, the name suggests, the second edition of the high-resolution full-frame system camera. Hardly anything has changed in the case. And the optimizations are also rather subtle inside: the Z7 II is equipped with a dual Expeed 6 processor, which slightly increases the continuous shooting speed, but above all benefits autofocus. The high standards of the Z7 are also maintained in terms of build quality and operation. However, the price is also high.
Pros
+ High resolution and very good image quality
+ Increased AF speed
+ Very high processing quality
+ Two card slots (1x XQD, 1x SD)
Cons
- Price
7. Leica D-Lux 7
Specifications
-Resolution 17 MP
-Display 3-inch LCD touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 11 fps
The D-Lux 7 comes with modern equipment, which includes not only a large MFT sensor and a high-speed lens, but also a 4K video recording, Wi-Fi connection and an electronic viewfinder. The display also helps with operation thanks to the touch screen. A special feature is that the aperture can be selected with a ring directly on the lens, and that the image format, i.e. the aspect ratio of the images, can also be determined via its own controller.
Pros
+ Good performance in low light
+ Extensively equipped
+ Sophisticated operation
+ Image quality
Cons
- No moving display
8. Fujifilm GFX 100S
Specifications
-Resolution 102 MP
-Display 3.2-inch tilt-angle touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 5 fps
The GFX100 S from Fujifilm comes with a large medium format sensor and an immensely high resolution of 102 megapixels. The very high resolution carries the risk of quickly blurring images. Fujifilm prevents that with the stabilizer installed in the camera body, which is intended to compensate for up to six exposure levels. The movable sensor also allows you to take pictures via multishot with 400 megapixels, for which 16 raw shots are combined into one shot.
Pros
+ Excellent image quality and immense resolution
+ Despite medium format sensor quite handy
+ Very high dynamic range
Cons
- Very expensive
9. Sony Alpha 6100
Specifications
-Resolution 24,2 MP
-Display 3-inch touchscreen LCD
-Shooting Speed 11 fps
The Sony Alpha 6100 impressed from the first minute. The round photo and video package with extensive functions and features convinces all along the line, even if the user-friendliness remains somewhat by the wayside in view of the variety of settings. Last but not least, the low price makes the compact camera an ideal entry-level model.
Pros
+ Affordable
+ Rapid autofocus with eye and real-time tracking
+ 180 ° tiltable touch display
+ 4K video function
Cons
- Viewfinder could use slightly higher resolution
10. Canon EOS R6
Specifications
-Resolution 20,1 MP
-Display 3-inch tilt-angle touchscreen
-Shooting Speed 12 fps
Although the relatively low sensor resolution with 20 megapixels seems to have fallen out of time, if you are not particularly interested in detail enlargements, it should be sufficient for most applications. They are rewarded with very low image noise and a high dynamic range. In addition, there is an internal image stabilizer, which makes the Canon EOS R6 a very good option for low-light shooting. Thanks to a fast autofocus and a high continuous frame rate of 12 frames per second with a mechanical shutter, the R6 is also interesting for sports photographers.
Pros
+ High dynamic range
+ Sophisticated handling
+ Very low image noise even at high ISO levels
+ Fast and reliable autofocus
Cons
- Section enlargements, only possible to a limited extent
- Quite clear rolling shutter effect in videos
