Holding the camera up to your face makes it easier to hold the camera still than when you hold it out in front of you to use the screen instead. If you’re serious about photography, you probably like to use a viewfinder to frame your shots. Add its weather sealing, its 10-frames-per-second burst mode, and its AI-powered autofocus system, which can detect faces (animal or human) and then pinpoint their eyes to track along with them, and we’re comfortable saying that the α7 IV is the best full-frame camera for your money-if you’re willing to spend this much on a camera. Plus, its battery life (520 shots per charge) and dual SD card slots (one of which can accept CFexpress cards, too) are meaningful improvements over what we’ve seen on any other full-frame mirrorless camera under $2,700.

Its tilting touchscreen, comfortable grip, and easy-to-use controls make shooting pleasant. Whether you want to adapt old manual-focus lenses, shoot often in very dimly lit situations, or just want the cachet of telling your friends that you shoot with a full-frame camera (which has a sensor that’s the same size as a frame of 35mm film and larger than those in our other picks), the Sony ɑ7 IV delivers images with the sharpest detail and the least noise (tiny speckles that aren’t supposed to be in the image), especially at higher sensitivities, of any mirrorless camera in its price range. And despite this camera’s great performance and advanced features, it typically costs a couple hundred bucks less than its closest competitors. You can also use the Wi-Fi to trigger the shutter and change most of the settings from across the room using your smartphone. Its built-in Wi-Fi support lets you transfer images to your phone to share with your family, friends, and Instagram followers.

The camera’s autofocus (AF) system locks on to subjects quickly and accurately and remains accurate even in dimly lit situations that cause any AF system, including this one, to slow down.Īlthough the auto modes are reliably great, the E-M10 IV also has manual control knobs and buttons as well as a tilting touchscreen, which together make this model one of the better-handling cameras in its class.


And because it’s less than an inch larger in each dimension than our top point-and-shoot pick, you’d be more likely to bring this camera with you than a bulky DSLR or even a bigger mirrorless camera. It’s compatible with more than 100 Micro Four Thirds lenses that all work with its impressive built-in image stabilization, which minimizes the effects of shaky hands for clearer images. Although the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV can’t claim the title of absolute best when it comes to image quality, it captures great-looking images and excels in other areas that matter more when you want to get the perfect shot.
