If you’re looking for a new digital camera, you’ve probably seen the latest models from Sony and Fujifilm. These two companies both offer high-quality cameras, and both are nearly impossible to find in stock. Nikon has recently revived the Z9 line with a new camera, and both companies have recently released long-awaited telephoto lenses. Both of these companies may have an edge over the big boys, Canon and Sony, with their new cameras.
Canon’s mid-priced mirrorless camera
The EOS R5 is the company’s flagship full-frame mirrorless camera for 2020, with a 45-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS sensor and weather sealing that rivals the EOS 5D Mark IV. Other features include a fully articulating rear screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 4K HQ video. It also offers a built-in viewfinder and the ability to capture up to 8 stops of image stabilization with the right lenses.
Whether you’re looking to capture portraits, action shots, or travel shots, Canon has a camera that can accommodate your needs. It costs around $1,300 for the body and kit lens. However, don’t be fooled by the low price because the EOS RP doesn’t skimp on quality. The camera shoots high-resolution photo and 4K video, and has a variable angle screen for self-portraits or vlog-style videos.
While the EOS R710 lacks a top LCD display and in-body image stabilization, it offers decent video and stills capabilities. It also has a removable viewfinder, although it only tilts vertically. Overall, the Canon R710 is a good camera to buy for those who are just starting to explore the world of mirrorless photography. It will continue to evolve with Canon and other manufacturers.
Sony’s entry-level model
The Sony a1 was released this year. It’s like a Swiss army knife camera that can do it all – and do it very well. While the a1 is Sony’s entry-level camera for 2022, there are still some things that it does better than the competition. It’s the best all-around mirrorless camera available right now, but it’s far from perfect. Here’s why.
The a9 III is expected to have a 24MP sensor and improved autofocus. It’ll also shoot at 30 or 60 frames per second, similar to the a7R IV. Other notable features include dual card slots and in-body image stabilization. Sony hasn’t made any announcements yet, but it’s possible that a new model could debut in the next few months.
The a7iii also has an impressive lens lineup, which includes the FE 24-105mm f/4 lens. This all-purpose travel zoom lens has an f/4 constant aperture, superb bokeh, and decent low-light performance. It’s also excellent for video and has fantastic image quality. However, if you’re unsure about which camera to buy, it’s worth keeping an eye out for the FE 24-105mm f/4 lens.
Fujifilm’s X-H2
The Fujifilm X-H2 camera is expected to come with two different sensor types. One will feature a 26-megapixel CMOS sensor while the other will have a 40-megapixel sensor. At the 2022 X-Summit, Fujifilm will also announce the fifth generation X-series cameras. The official said the camera is the culmination of the company’s technology crystallization in the last 10 years.
The X-H1 arrived in 2018, and was deemed the ‘flagship’ X Series camera. It has since lost its status as a flagship camera as better cameras have emerged. However, the X-H1 has not been updated with firmware since its launch, and Fujifilm fans are wondering when the company will bring an update for the camera. X-H2 and X-H2s are expected to be the successors to the X-H1 in terms of resolution and video. However, rumors suggest that the X-H2 will offer 8K/30p video capabilities.
The rumors that the company is working on the X-H2 camera have sparked speculation. The latest rumors suggest that the successor to the X-H1 will be a hybrid camera with a unique cooling solution. As a result, it may be the first hybrid camera that incorporates the latest technology. If the camera does come out with a hybrid sensor, then it’ll be one of the most advanced cameras on the market.
Sony’s a9
Sony is targeting wedding, action and sports photographers with the a9 camera. The a9 has been said to have a super-fast readout, a full-frame sensor, and an expanded Pro Support scheme. With these features, the a9 is a promising camera that could change the way professional photographers work. But is it really that good? We find out below. Listed below are the pros and cons of Sony’s a9 camera.
The GM and G lenses are specially designed for the Sony A9 II. You can’t use your old lenses or adapters with the a9, as they won’t deliver the quality that you need. A few examples are the 24-70/2.8 GM lens and the 70-200/2.8 GM lens. You’ll also be pleased to learn that the A9 features an instant manual focus mode, or DMF (Demand Mode).
Real-time Eye-AF is one of the most exciting features of the a9, and will be available in 2022. This system follows the subject’s eye and focuses on it, making it easy to capture moving subjects. With more than 567 phase-detection AF points on the front and 425 contrast AF points on the back of the camera, the a9 will be capable of capturing fast-moving subjects.
Fujifilm’s a5100
The Sony Alpha a5100 is a fine camera for video and stills, but it isn’t quite the best of its class. Its lack of picture profiles and mic jack makes it perfect for YouTube and live streaming, but it’s not the best camera for taking professional-quality pictures. Moreover, smartphones continue to improve in terms of photo quality, so the A5100 isn’t the best camera to buy just yet.
Despite the high-end X-Pro1 announcement in January, the X-T3 is still a strong contender, especially for beginners. It offers 26.1-megapixel resolution, touch-sensitive rear LCD, higher burst-rate (11 frames), and other improvements. Its new processor is also more powerful and has better video features. But, what can we expect from Fujifilm’s a5100 camera for 2022?
The Fujifilm X-A5 uses a 91-point Hybrid AF system and phase-detection AF. This allows for fast single-point focusing and also delivers class-leading video performance. It has dual control dials, electronic viewfinder, microphone input, and time-lapse. You can shoot videos in 4K resolution, HDR, or time-lapse mode.
Sony’s a7r IV
The new Sony a7R IV camera is designed as a high-resolution stills camera. It lacks 4K 60p recording, but manages to get a maximum frame rate of seven frames per second. The camera also supports 8-bit 422 out on the HDMI output. For now, Sony plans to introduce an upgraded model in 2022. In the meantime, you can check out some of the camera’s features.
The sensor is the main focus of the camera, as it delivers a crisp, detailed image even when shooting at a low ISO. The Sony a7R IV has a 61MP CMOS sensor, which provides a high degree of detail and colour reproduction. Because there is no optical low-pass filter, there is a greater risk of moire and aliasing artifacts.
The back of the camera is reminiscent of the a7III. Its rounded buttons and joystick are now bigger and textured. The camera is still powered by the same NP-FZ100 battery, which lasts for around 1,500-one thousand shots. This battery is unmatched by any other mirrorless camera. So, when it comes to camera specs, Sony has made some significant improvements.
Panasonic GH5 II
The new Panasonic Lumix GH5 II camera is a great choice for those who like to broadcast their videos online. It features WiFi, USB-C, and built-in Wi-Fi for streaming. The camera also features a Sync app to stream live videos to smartphones. You can also use the Lumix Network software to record video content and share it to your favorite social networking site. You can even stream in 1080/60p.
The GH5 II’s in-body stabilization system claims to deliver 6.5EV of compensation, 1.5EV more than the GH5’s. In addition to this, it also features dual IS 2 for synchronizing with the in-body stabilisation. The camera also includes two new color profiles, L.ClassicNeo, a nostalgic profile, and L.Monochrome S, which adds subtle monochrome effects.
Another difference between the two cameras is the size of the screen. The GH5 has a 3.2-inch vari-angle LCD. The GH5 II’s is slightly smaller, but it’s brighter and sharper than its predecessor. The camera also has an improved electronic viewfinder with 0.76x magnification and a 120Hz refresh rate. This will increase the camera’s image quality, but also drain the battery faster.
