If the mirrorless camera market were a poker game, it’s safe to say that Canon’s EOS R3 is the company’s ace-in-the-hole. The full-frame camera is the 1-DX of the full-frame mirrorless R family —a rugged, fast, professional camera.

The new Alpha 7 IV continues the tradition, mixing in new achievements in design and autofocusing alongside advanced technologies originally debuted on other Alpha models.
Sigma has made a serious effort to court filmmakers with its fp series and the fp L is no exception.
The Z fc proved to be as capable (if not more so) on the video front as it was with still images.
Every once in a while, though, there are cameras where these evolutionary steps look more like a leap. Sony’s Alpha 1 is a good example.
The follow-up to 2018’s Z 7, the Z 7II isn’t a wholesale reinvention, but does include some notable improvements, such as a second memory card slot and a second image processor.
Image Engineering found that the Alpha 7C can resolve 109 percent of its sensor’s theoretical maximum when shooting video at low ISO.
Nikon’s follow-up to its first-ever full-frame mirrorless, the Z 6II is proof positive that camera makers do indeed listen to their customers.
As for video, the S5 is a powerhouse in the specs department.
The EOS R is a solid camera with good performance and despite some quirks, we think that it will appeal to a wide range of pro photographers, particularly in the portrait and wedding fields.
The GX9 is definitely designed for still shooters for whom video is a secondary consideration. Although the GX9’s 4K video is quite good, videographers will miss not having microphone and headphone jacks, as well as myriad other video features found on, say, the pricier GH5.
The Tamron 100-400mm lens is a great value for the money, and given Tamron’s excellent image stabilization, the lens should perform well for wedding and portrait photographers—even if you have to shoot at f/6.3.
Despite the somewhat slow autofocus for video, the Nikon D850 is really an incredible piece of technology.
With its compact size, speed, excellent image quality and versatility, this lens is perfect for wedding photographers who want the extra focal length without overloading their gear bags. It’s a great portrait lens, too, and it focuses as close as 3.22 feet for those detail shots.
There’s more to a camera than sensor size, of course, and the EM-1 Mark II excels at most other parameters, blazing-fast performance and image quality being two of them.
In many ways, the a6300 offers the responsiveness of a DSLR in a more compact body.
Given the 645Z’s specs, the use of the same CMOS sensor as other medium- format cameras and its amazingly low price, it’s a strong competitor and an excellent point of entry into the medium-format world.
The E-M5 Mark II has better weather sealing than most competitors in its class, plus great still photo and HD video quality. A pop-out display, Wi-Fi and compact, versatile design make the Mark II a very solid sequel.
There’s much to like in the 7D Mark II, from its image quality and feature set to its handling and durable design. The camera is sniper-like in its ability to lock on moving subjects and keep them tack sharp.
