Sony set out to redefine what a “basic model” could be with the A7 III, and it certainly succeeded - even if it didn’t take long for Nikon to catch up. It also manages 10fps burst shooting with no quality reduction, an impressive feat for an entry-level model.īeing a Sony, it also turns in standout video specifications, with more customizable settings than you get anywhere else, even if its 8-bit 4K is no longer best in class. We were blown away by the high ISO image quality, which produces very low noise even at ISO 25,600. It is a powerful, refined product with years of iteration and development behind it. The Sony A7 III very nearly took home the award for camera of the year. Oh, and there’s a new 26-megapixel backside illuminated sensor that improves dynamic range, lest we forget.įujifilm X-T3 review Sony A7 III Daven Mathies/Digital Trends And finally, the 3.69-million-dot viewfinder is among the nicest we’ve ever put to our eyes. The new autofocus system is significantly improved, with phase-detection points right to the edge of the frame. It shoots 10-bit 4K video at 400 megabits per second in the new HEVC codec with no crop, completely blowing away the video capabilities of not just the X-T2, but also the more expensive X-H1. The X-T3 is the most impressive APS-C camera on the market right now, thanks to technology we honestly never thought we’d see in a Fuji. Not content to be the “budget Leica” for discerning, but frugal photographers, the brand continually redefines itself to appeal to new users without sacrificing what its fans love. The EOS R is just the first of many planned full-frame mirrorless models from Canon, so we look forward to what’s coming next.Ĭanon EOS R review Fujifilm X-T3 Daven Mathies/Digital Trendsįujifilm continues to bewilder us with each new iteration of its X-T line - in a good way. These large optics buck the trend of mirrorless cameras as compact systems, and show that Canon is squarely focused on high-end users. Perhaps more interesting than the camera itself are the lenses that Canon has announced for the new system, which include a 28-70mm f/2 and a 50mm f/1.2. It uses perhaps the most advanced autofocus system we’ve ever seen, with a dizzying number of focus points, and its ergonomics and 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder are second to none.

What impresses us most about these cameras is that they include several features that Nikon had never done before: On-chip phase-detection autofocus, 10-bit video output with N-Log, and 5-axis in-body image stabilization. It knew it needed to go all in to compete with Sony, and it did. Nikon didn’t just rewrap one of its full-frame DSLRs in a mirrorless body it designed the Z6 and Z7 from the ground up to come out of the gate sprinting.
