The largest is medium format, but that’s only used on niche and expensive cameras from Hasselblad, Fujifilm and Leica, so we’ll skip over those for this article. The one that affects your photography (and budget) the most is sensor size. Now, let’s talk about features you need in a mirrorless camera. Most of Sony’s recently compact models, like the ZV-1F, are designed for vloggers. Only Sony and Fujifilm cameras are still carrying the compact torch, the latter with its $1,400 X100V model, which has become famously hard to find. And we haven’t seen any new ones from Canon or Nikon lately, either. Panasonic has built a number of good models in the past, but recently said it would focus only on video-centric mirrorless models going forward. With putting all their R&D in mirrorless, that’s where you’ll find the most up-to-date tech.Ĭompact cameras still exist as a category, but barely. Both Canon and Nikon recently announced they’re discontinuing development of new DSLR cameras, simply because most of the advantages of that category are gone, as I detailed in a recent video. With that settled, mirrorless is the best way to go if you’re shopping for a new camera. Smartphones do have impressive AI skills that help make photography easier, but that’s about it. You also get natural and not AI-generated bokeh, quicker shooting, a physical shutter, more professional video recording, and so on. Where smartphones have one f/stop, cameras have many, which gives you more exposure control. The larger sensors in mirrorless cameras let more light in, and you have a wide choice of lenses with far superior optics. Why get a camera when my smartphone takes great photos, you may ask? In a word, physics.
