ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and shooting modes are all accessible via physical dials. The camera body's design is reminiscent of film cameras, and perhaps the best thing about it is how seldom you need to use digital controls. The XT-4 also offers a fully articulating rear touchscreen, something you won't find in either of the Sony cameras. There's also a clear division between photo and video mode, so you can easily switch back and forth. The X-T4 has in-body image stabilization and significant autofocus improvements compared to its predecessor. Fujifilm uses APS-C sensors, which are smaller than the full-frame sensors in the rest of the cameras in this guide, but the images are every bit as sharp.

Specs: 42-megapixel full-frame sensor, 10 frames per second (fps) with full AF, 4K/30fps video, dual SD cardsĪnother option: If you don't need the 42-megapixel sensor, the A7III (note the lack of the "R" in the name) is another solid choice, and it's frequently on sale for under $2,000.įujifilm's X-T4 is one of the best values in the camera market. Luckily there are enough customizable buttons that it's not too difficult to set things up so you never need to dive into the menus. What I don't like about it, or any other Sony, is the labyrinthine menu system. You can invest not only in Sony glass, but Canon, Minolta, and others as well. All autofocus modes work well, even with adapted lenses, which gives the A7RIII an edge over competitors when it comes to lens selection. The five-axis image stabilization means you can handhold it in lower light, and the 4K video is very nearly full frame thanks to oversampling. It's compact and lightweight enough to carry all day without back strain, and the grip is comfortable in your hand. The 42-megapixel full-frame sensor offers incredibly sharp images with excellent dynamic range and enough shooting speed for most of us (sports and wildlife pros, look elsewhere).
It's not the latest model, but the Sony A7RIII remains a fantastic camera. Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day. This includes unlimited access to and our print magazine (if you'd like).

I've spent the past year testing dozens in all kinds of shooting scenarios to come up with what I think are the best choices for different types of photographers.īe sure to check out our many other buying guides, like the Best Compact Cameras, Best Camera Bags, and Best Action Cameras. All these cameras are capable of producing amazing images which one is right for you depends more on your needs than the size of the sensor.īut choosing the right one can be confusing. That's why this guide doesn't get too deep into the weeds of megapixel counts, sensor sizes, and pixel peeping. That's not to say gear doesn't matter, just that it's best used in service of something larger, not obsessed over. The vision you have and the work you put into realizing it are far more critical. Let’s hope it lasts.You know what's the least important part of taking a great photo? Gear. Film stocks are still going out of production here and there, but it’s easier to shoot film in 2018 than it was five years ago, and that’s a good thing.
Right now, things are relatively great in the film world, but there’s no telling when the boom will end. You can also send it away to the labs mentioned above, but expect to pay a little more. If you want to shoot black-and-white, pick up some Kodak T-Max, Kodak Tri-X, or Ilford HP5 (The new TMAX P3200 film from Kodak is aimed at more advanced users since it requires careful processing, which costs extra if you’re sending it out.) All of those stocks have been around forever and there are lots of guides ( like ours!) online to help you develop it on your own. Labs like The Find Lab and The Darkroom do an excellent job. No, it’s not cheap, but that’s part of what helps the process feel more precious and fun.
Expect to pay roughly $11 to have each roll developed and scanned. They will set you back less than $4 per roll and give you a semi-grainy, and very film-esque look. If you want to shoot color, start with Agfa Vista (now discontinued), Kodak Gold, or Fuji Superia. This Nikon isn’t the prettiest camera, but it has a very sharp lens, which is crucial.īy now, you’ve noticed that pretty much every one-hour photo place on the planet has disappeared, which means you should plan on sending your film away for development unless you want to do it yourself (which is totally fun and you should definitely try it, but the subject of a different article!).
