APS-C Mirrorless Camera Shootout

Asian Photography

November 2022

Every year we conduct shootouts and it is the one of the most important part of our magazine helping readers to decide best when it comes to selecting the right gear while buying or upgrading. Through our shootouts, we've always attempted to present a head-to-head comparison of the best available equipment on the market. We want to feature gear that we think will become or is already popular among photographers. Since DSLRs are on the verge of end and many companies have already started closing the production, we have decided to continue with Mirrorless Camera Shootout this year. In this APS-C Mirrorless Camera shootout, we compare some of the best cameras available under the price range of ₹80,000 and pit them against one another to see who comes out on top.

Canon EOS R10

Contenders

The Canon EOS R10, Nikon Z30, and Sony ZV-E10 are the competitors for Professional Full Frame DSLR Shootout. The Canon EOS R10 was released in July 2022, the Nikon Z30 in July 2022, and the Sony ZV-E10 in July 2021. So they were founded one year apart and were fierce competitors, particularly in the vlogging sector. So, let's see how they compete in the shootout.

• Canon EOS R10 (₹80,995 for body only)

• Nikon Z30 (₹59,895 for body only)

• Sony ZV-E10 (₹59,490 for body only)

Parameters

The parameters for all camera shootouts will be the same as they are every year. These parameters are practised on several sub-parameters that are considered while analysing the final outcomes from each piece of equipment.

• Look, Body and Feel

• Image Quality

• Video Quality

• Value for Money

MINIATURE MARVELS

Drawn to the hidden dramas of the insect world, Sandip Guha uncovers nature's quietest stories through patience, precision, and reverence. Since picking up a macro lens, he has captured moments as fleeting as damselfly mating rituals and as rare as spider courtship. His work goes beyond beauty, documenting behaviour, ecology, and the fragile poetry of life in miniature. Asian Photography spoke to him about inspiration, hardships, mistakes, bucket shot and more.

How Close Should You Get to a Subject? Ethics in Macro

Macro photography is all about getting close — closer than the eye can see. It invites us into intimate worlds: The spiralled symmetry of a snail's shell, the fine hairs on a bee's leg, the dew resting on a spider's web. But as we close in, a question looms that goes beyond technique or gear: How close should we get?

OnePlus Nord 5 Camera Review - New Midrange King?

Last year, when we reviewed the OnePlus Nord 4, it left us wanting more. This year, the Nord 5 arrives with bold promises - it's the first Nord to feature a Snapdragon 8-series chipset and the first mainstream OnePlus device with a 144Hz OLED display. But what we're really here for is the camera - especially since it borrows tech from the flagship OnePlus 13. While pricing hasn't been officially confirmed (we received both the Nord 5 and CE5 under embargo), we expect it to stay close to last year's launch price - between ₹30,000-₹35,000. According to OnePlus, this is their most complete Nord yet. So, do the cameras live up to that claim? Let's find out!

DECAY DIARIES: DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF ROT, RUST, AND RUIN THROUGH MACRO

Decay is usually seen as a sign of failure, of neglect, corrosion, and abandonment. It marks the places we leave behind and the things we no longer touch. But for those who carry a macro lens, decay is not the end of something, but the beginning of a fascinating visual story. Up close, rot becomes a rich texture, rust becomes a complex pattern, and ruin becomes poetry. Welcome to the world of Decay Diaries, where beauty isn’t found in perfection, but in what is slowly falling apart.

Apple's iOS 26 Brings Changes to Imaging Experience, Camera APP and Photos

Apple's new design overhaul brings an update to the Camera app in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, making everyday photography feel more immersive and intuitive. The redesigned UI prioritizes easy reach for core controls while minimizing distractions. Buttons, sliders, and toggles now live within a refined control layer that adapts as you frame shots or switch modes. In the app, navigation and tools morph fluidly to stay out of the way until you need them, keeping the focus squarely on capturing the moment. New gestures streamline access to pro tools, and the layout now curves with the edges of modern displays for a more cohesive, hardware-conscious experience.

WHERE DOES MACRO END AND MICRO BEGIN?

Macro photography opens the door to a world we rarely notice-a place where the texture of a leaf becomes a jungle, the surface of a coin a lunar landscape. But how close is too close? At what point does macro stop being macro and enter the realm of micro photography? The line between the two isn't just a matter of semantics. It's about tools, technique, and intent. In this article, we'll draw that line.

CAPTURING FLORAL FASCINATION

Kristine's journey began from a father's influence and a curious eye grew into a deep, self-taught journey into the miniature world. She specialises in capturing flowers alongside insects, capturing and excelling at an intriguing perspective in macro photography. Asian Photography spoke to her about how macro photography shaped not just her creative process, but also her perspective on nature, patience, and purpose. Excerpts:
