10 best mirrorless cameras

Mirrorless with the best performance, if you take into account the loyal price of the gadget. There are interchangeable optics, a three-inch swivel display, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a 25.8 megapixel matrix and 4K support.In the reviews, the owners of this mirrorless camera swear that 4K is dishonest, but even in Full HD, the M50 shoots amazingly.

Users after the experience of using this model for more than six months share their observations in the reviews. Autofocus is great: there is tracking focus, focus on the eyes, and the ability to select the focus point by tapping on the screen when using the electronic viewfinder. Thanks to a cheap Chinese adapter, you can connect a 50 mm STM lens. The camera also accepts cheap batteries without problems. Still pleased with the flexibility of the menu and many settings. All buttons can be reassigned. This is the best mirrorless camera for amateurs and not only.

Excellent model, equipped with a large number of controls. Inside it is a Micro 4/3 matrix. With its help, magnificent 16-megapixel photos are created, especially when using high-quality optics. Importantly, the sensor is mounted on a movable system, thanks to which optical image stabilization is implemented here. To build a frame, it is proposed to use either an electronic viewfinder or a three-inch touchscreen display that rotates easily.

This mirrorless camera has received a number of features. Firstly, buyers praise it in their reviews for having a waterproof case, which is extremely rare in this price segment. Secondly, this model is ready to record 4K video, albeit only at 30 fps. Also among the available shooting modes are time-lapse and 3D-photo.As for the connectors, they have almost everything you need, including a jack for connecting an external microphone. The Japanese manufacturer has not forgotten the built-in Wi-Fi module, thanks to which remote control is carried out. The weight of the device together with the battery is 505 g. This makes the camera still not the lightest in our rating. However, this is its only serious drawback.

Despite its compact size, this mirrorless camera will outperform most amateur DSLRs. The main competitive advantage is the best autofocus speed. Record-breaking 179 points provide full frame coverage, sony can easily cope with any dynamic scenes. Reporters will not be let down by the impressive shooting speed of 11 frames per second.

A tenacious tracking autofocus could make the model a leader in video quality. Full HD resolution and recording speed meet modern requirements, but the manufacturer decided not to focus on video. There is no microphone jack on the body, and users complain about the camera overheating during prolonged continuous use. The indisputable advantage of the Sony Alpha ILCE-6000 is also its low noise level. ISO up to 3200 is rated as working, and 6400 is guaranteed to fit for a home album. Other useful features include Wi-Fi, NFC and a swivel screen. The only drawback of a mirrorless camera is the cost, which novice photographers will find unreasonably high.

One of the smallest mirrorless cameras on the market today. Available in two color options. The most interesting, in our opinion, looks like a version with a silver top - it is most similar to cameras that were used in the 20th century. It should be noted that even on such a miniature camera there was a place for a sufficient number of controls. But some of their lack is still felt, which is why this model did not receive the highest rating from us.

As expected, the device has a good electronic viewfinder (consists of 920 thousand pixels). You can also use the three-inch touch screen to build a frame, which can be tilted at any time. Not forgotten by the manufacturer and retractable flash. As for the matrix, it has a size of 4/3 inches and a resolution of 20.3 megapixels. Optical stabilizer allows you to make shutter speeds longer than usual, which makes it easier to shoot in low light surroundings. Nothing bad can be said about the contrast autofocus system, which here includes 49 points. If you are interested in continuous shooting, then it is carried out at a speed of up to 9.2 frames / s, and stops only after 29 shots (while saving the result in RAW). The mirrorless camera is also capable of 4K video shooting, but the frequency will not exceed 30 frames / s.

The release of the full-frame Sony Alpha A7s was a technological breakthrough in the world of digital photography.By increasing the size of the pixels, the manufacturer has achieved previously unthinkable sensitivity. In the daytime, this solution does not give advantages, but in the dark, Sony shows incredible results. Experts agree that when setting ISO up to 6400, the use of noise reduction is not required. Wide dynamic range captures details even in complete darkness. Other advantages include a metal case, a flip-out display and Wi-Fi.

A mirrorless camera has impressive video potential. Contrast focusing does not lose autofocus even if the subject is constantly moving. All settings are adjusted during shooting. The frame rate of the movie reaches 120 frames per second, and when connected to an external recorder, recording in 4K is possible. Sony's main complaint is a weak battery. When traveling and shooting for a long time, you will need several spare blocks. In addition, the mirrorless has a low rate of fire: 5 frames per second is not enough for reporters, but the manufacturer set himself other tasks. A mirrorless camera is best for shooting in low light conditions. Of course, it has some shortcomings that the released second version eliminates, but the cost of the new model is disproportionately higher.

A great choice for someone who has used a SLR camera before. He will definitely not be afraid of the size of this model, while it will seem noticeably lighter. On the rear panel of this camera there was a place for a touch screen, the diagonal of which reaches an impressive 3.15 inches.It can be tilted at any time, making it easier to shoot from unusual angles. The Japanese introduced here and an electronic viewfinder, consisting of 2.36 million pixels. The shoe is designed to mount a flash or an external microphone. Not far from it are the main controls, the lack of which will be noted only by a professional who has been photographing for many years.

The main advantage of this camera is its matrix. It corresponds to a crop factor of 1.5, which is extremely atypical for this price segment. It also uses an excellent hybrid autofocus, consisting of 209 points. Everything is in order with the device and with a processor ready to serially digest up to 11 shots every second. Surprisingly, 4K video shooting here is still limited to 30 frames / s - it seems to us that the components built into the camera are capable of more. I am glad that while shooting a video, you can use an external microphone and headphones - this model is not deprived of the appropriate connectors. She also received Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless modules.

Many people think that if a 35 mm matrix can be placed in a camera, then it will inevitably get huge. Previously, this was indeed the case, because a mirror and other auxiliary elements had to be introduced into the device. Now the situation has changed. The Sony Alpha ILCE-7C is not much larger than any compact camera, and the weight of this model, including the battery, does not exceed 509 g.At the same time, it allows you to change the optics and enjoy the result of a full-frame 42-bit sensor, the resolution of which is 24.2 megapixels (the Japanese did not overdo it in order to reduce the noise level at high ISO values).

The device received an accurate and fast hybrid autofocus with 693 points. Another important feature of the camera is the presence of an optical stabilizer, which helps out when shooting in low light conditions. Buyers note in their reviews and many modes - the camera can shoot HDR and write time-lapse. By the way, in serial mode, it produces 10 photos every second. The buffer placed here will ask for mercy only after 115 frames. And this is when saving the result in RAW format! The only thing you can find fault with a mirrorless camera is 4K video. It seems to us that for such money the device should support a frequency of 60 frames / s. But the Japanese manufacturer has a different opinion.

Compact universal version of Japanese quality. The device is great for both video and photos in professional quality. Here is a 24-megapixel matrix that creates video content in 4K without crop. The screen is touch and swivel, the diagonal size is three inches. I am glad that the camera does not overheat even when recording video in ultra format.

Despite the touching size, the camera is able to produce an excellent picture with excellent quality. It is a pity that there is no function to change the ISO when recording a video. Otherwise, this is a professional mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses, encrypted under a budget compact camera. The camera got into the top of the best cameras not only due to a pleasant price, but also due to the surprisingly high quality of the footage.

The compact professional version with a 44 megapixel matrix and support for 4K video also made it to the top. Autofocus performs its function properly even at dusk. In portrait shooting, autofocus focuses on the eyes - conveniently. The stabilization is matrix and helps out a lot when shooting. The viewfinder is electronic and of high quality. The processor is powerful and even while saving the captured frame, the user can change settings and navigate through the menu.

The menu, unfortunately, is heavily overloaded - in the labyrinths of settings it is difficult to quickly navigate and get to the desired characteristics. But even with poor lighting, the photos do not lather and are of high quality. Another nice bonus for wedding and "reportage" photographers is the high shooting speed. Up to 10 frames are created per second. Each megapixel of the matrix is ​​felt and expressed as images. The case is pleasant, the wheels are metal, the buttons are tight, so that every press is felt. The shutter button is smooth.

A mirrorless compact option for professional photographers. Here is a 20-megapixel camera that shoots at a resolution of 5184 x 3888, an electronic viewfinder, a touch-sensitive rotary LCD display. Autofocus is hybrid and works quickly, correctly and accurately. The number of points for focusing is amazing - 121.There is a manual focus and even an electronic rangefinder.

The case is made of metal and protected from dust and water. The gadget sits perfectly in the hand, providing a comfortable grip with a well-thought-out body shape. Auto ISO is programmable, which allows you to get a high-quality frame without noise. The detail is amazing, especially in RAW format. The white balance in automatic mode works decently - the color reproduction is natural. For portraits and reportage photos - this is the best model, taking into account price and quality. In addition, there is excellent stabilization, fast operation (from power on to frame processing) and tenacious focus with a tracking function.
