Check out our full in-depth video review of the Panasonic GH5. When we first heard about the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II back in September we thought it was going to be a sports and wildlife game changer of a camera, then we got our hands on it again in November we knew for sure that it was a magnificent camera for shooting sports, wildlife, or any fast paced action.
In our review of the Olympus E-M1 Mark II we had the opportunity to put the camera through its paces and try out all the features and it blew us away, which is why we think it's one of the best mirrorless cameras this year.
So what's the difference? The a7R II features a huge full-frame 42 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor, as well as 5-axis image stabilisation and internal 4K video recording as well as Autofocus points for highly accurate focusing. When it's resolution that you're after, the a7R II is the camera for you.
The a7S II, on the other hand, features a full-frame The pixels on this sensor are larger and further apart than on higher resolution sensors, which makes the a7S II absolutely superb in low light situations, with an ISO range up to , It also features 5-axis image stabilisation, and 4K video recording.
The fabulous Sony a9 is the sure to be one of the best mirrorless cameras in , it's the latest camera on this lineup and caused quite a stir in the photography world when it was recently launched. The Sony a9 is reported to be the first 'fully digital' digital camera - which means that there are no analogue features on the camera. It's got an electronic shutter, electronic viewfinder, 5-axis image stabilisation, and shoots 4K video. The main tricks of the Sony a9 is its blisteringly fast speed - it's capable of shooting at up to 20fps in continuous mode for up to RAW images or JPEGs.
It also has phase-detection AF with points, so pin sharp and accurate focusing isn't a problem. This is a professional grade mirrorless camera - pitched to sports and wildlife photographers thanks to the speed, but it would equally be at home with anyone looking for a top-of-the-range mirrorless camera, and when paired with Sony's ever-growing range of superb E-mount lenses, this really is a winning combination.
The Leica SL is another full-frame mirrorless camera in this lineup - packing a 24 megapixel sensor and a 4. It's not just a fashion object though - the Leica SL will shoot at 11 frames per second in burst mode, features ultra high definition 4K video recording and ultra fast autofocus. As with all Leica cameras, the build quality of the SL is exceptional, it's fantastic in the hand and looks, well, like a Leica. We looked at cameras with selfie-friendly screens, wide-angle lenses, microphone inputs and great video quality, and selected the best.

The a9 is a full-frame beast of a thing, the first mirrorless camera that not only equalled the performance of the top DSLRs, but eclipsed them. Lightning-fast, precision-tracking autofocus that blew our tiny minds, 20fps burst shooting, a super high-resolution EVF that doesn't blink when you shoot and one of the most stunning sensors in the business, with super impressive low light performance.
The a9 is a glimpse into a true mirrorless future, and by far the best single camera we've ever got our hands on. First impressions and full review of the Sony a9. Low-budget filmmakers have loved the GH-series cameras for years, but Panasonic far surpassed everyone's expectations when it released the GH5 and threw the kitchen sink at its video capabilities. A lot of terrific work will get done on this camera for years to come — unless the rumored upcoming GH5s ups the ante again.
More on the Panasonic Lumix GH5. The humble GoPro changed everything. Suddenly, just about anyone could put a camera just about anywhere, and it resulted in some of the most extreme and outrageous footage humanity has ever produced.
But GoPro's mini action cameras have never been production quality; you could very much tell the difference when a GoPro shot showed up in a movie. This will not be the case with Sony's RX0 — a GoPro-sized action camera designed for production-level filming.
Zeiss glass, a It's waterproof out of the box up to ten meters, shockproof and crush-proof, and it shoots slow-mo at up to 1,fps. It takes action cams to a whole new level. More on the Sony RX0 action camera. Using Sony's outstanding sensor technology, Nikon has built a stunning pro-grade full-frame shooter. Boasting a ludicrous With excellent image quality , top-notch performance and rugged weather-sealing, the G9 competes with the Olympus E-M1 II head-on. Anyone looking for a high-performance yet compact camera system that can handle sports and wildlife should consider the Panasonic G9.
It is no easy feat to try and redefine what an industry comes to expect from a high-end camera, but Sony did that and then some with the A9. Not only did it successfully shirk the prior narrative regarding the autofocus capability of mirrorless cameras, it completely reset the bar for the entire camera industry. But it didn't stop there: the Sony A9 is legitimately revolutionary and reframes what we as photographers should consider possible.
The Sony A9 set a new standard for what " fast and accurate autofocus " meant, creating a benchmark by which all will now be judged. Beyond just tracking, it reacts quickly to movement and locks focus immediately in nearly any situation.
The A9's incredible shooting speed of 20 frames per second is already impressive, but add to that its ability to do so blackout-free and in total silence means that the constant clicking of cameras could be totally eliminated, allowing for photographers to actually capture live professional golf matches as well as make watching press conferences on television much more pleasant.
Additionally, thanks to a totally redesigned battery system from a new battery through how the camera uses power , the A9 shrugged off the stigma of limited battery life and propensity for overheating that was so accurately pinned on the A7R II. When you combine the new features with the already-lauded Sony mainstays like in-body 5-axis stabilization, 4K video shooting and high ISO performance , the end result is unlike anything ever released.
In short, the Sony A9 stands clearly above all high-end cameras released in the past year, not just those in the mirrorless category.
The culmination of years of research and development by Sony has resulted in a final product history will note as the first milestone showing the convergence of DSLR and mirrorless performance.
For the first time, a mirrorless camera either matches or outperforms DSLRs when it comes to autofocus speed, accuracy and frames per second. Even if the A9 isn't for you, and it certainly is not for everyone, it's hard not to argue with its numerous achievements. Finally, a mirrorless isn't just portable and light -- it's reliable, powerful, and tough as well.
It's not often we are treated to a new medium format camera and brought us not one, but two new mirrorless medium format camera systems.
