BEST CAMERAS OF 2025

Competition doesn't sleep, and 2025 was no exception for the quote. The imaging industry went through a makeover of sorts, as we saw a shift of priority from companies, which led to them making cameras which were more hybrid in nature. This year we saw the Nikon-RED merger further fruitioning into a compact, competitive cinema camera and Canon releasing one in a similar form factor but with different capabilities and priority. In this round up, we list the cameras that brought something new to the table. Just like last year, we aren't including lenses, drones or action cameras or cinema cameras even though they've got so much in common with their mirrorless cousins.

CANON EOS R6 MARK III

The definitive enthusiast hybrid, now featuring a 32.5MP sensor and the revolutionary “Face Registration” AF found in the flagship R1. It stands out by introducing an asymmetrical card setup (CFexpress Type B + SD), enabling professional burst speeds and 7K open gate and oversampled 4K video at an enthusiast price point.

FUJIFILM GFX 100RF

The world's first 100MP fixed-lens medium format camera, designed with a sleek, rangefinder-style body. Its standout feature is the physical "Aspect Ratio Dial" on the top plate, allowing photographers to instantly switch between nine legendary film formats, including the iconic 65:24 panoramic mode.

FUJIFILM X-E5

The long-awaited return of the minimalist rangefinder, finally updated with a 40MP sensor, capable of 6.2K video and 7 stops of In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). It is the only camera in its class to feature a dedicated "Film Simulation Dial", giving users tactile, analogue-style control over Fujifilm's colour science without digging into menus.
