Top 10 Cameras

Smart Photography

|

November 2019

The imaging industry has seen a big churn in recent years. Mirrorless cameras have made a strong entry, and cameras in smartphones have improved by leaps and bounds. However, D-SLRs are trying to hold on, and compact cameras have moved more upmarket. Our selection of the Top 10 is influenced by factors like technology, features, ease of use, value for money and market reports. The cameras are listed in alphabetical order.

Top 10 Cameras

Canon EOS 200D Mark II

As we have mentioned above, value for money and price points play an important role in camera evaluation. Walking into our list based on value for money is Canon’s new D-SLR, the EOS 200D II. The camera has a 24.1 MP APS-C CMOS sensor, dual pixel CMOS autofocus, DIGIC 8, Eye-detection AF and Tilt and Swivel viewfinder. At 654 grams, it is also amongst Canon’s lightest D-SLR bodies. If you can live without the centre contact point in the hot-shoe, the EOS 200D II would be good as a beginner’s camera.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

The 5D-series is evidence of Canon’s prowess in the D-SLR market. The 5D Mark IV has been Canon’s flagship performer for quite some time, and the reasons are easy to see. The camera is a rugged workhorse and can be relied on to perform under the most demanding conditions. A 30.4 MP sensor, maximum ISO of 102,400, 4K video, built-in Wi-Fi and 61 autofocus points complete the specification. If you are looking for a reliable, high-quality D-SLR, look no further. In our opinion, the 5D Mark IV is currently Canon’s best camera on the market. For sports and wildlife photography, it should be on the top of your shortlist.
