For Photography Hobbyists and EnthusiastsByVaidyanathan Subramaniam-January 2 2019.736 Choosing the best camera for your needs can be overwhelming. When it comes to selecting professional cameras most users tend to get lost in choosing between Dslrs and mirrorless cameras. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but camera technology has progressed well and the distinction between these two types of camera has been narrowed. The new mirrorless cameras are powerhouses of technology and can easily produce breathtaking results. As with Slrs you get high burst rates and fast focusing speeds. One of the most common of the mirrorless cameras is the Mft (Micro Four Thirds) system cameras so known for their image sensor dimensions. Once you narrow down on the right mirrorless camera for your needs, there are a few important tips to remember. The first of these is of course the size of the sensor. In the mirrorless room you’ll find cameras with different sensor sizes. Cameras on one end of the spectrum use the small 1-inch sensors, while medium format and full frame sensor cameras on the other end of the spectrum are. Micro Four Thirds cameras are somewhere in between and have a crop factor of almost 2 which means your Mft camera’s 50 mm lens would have an equivalent focal length of 100 mm. There is also a disparity in the sensor aspect ratio, which in Aps-C is 3:2 and full frame sensors but in the Mft system is 4:3. For their sensors medium format devices use the aspect ratio of 4:3 and measure 44 mm x 33 mm. Using a 3:2 ratio, full frame cameras measure 36 mm x 24 mm. Sony and Leica are the only camera manufacturers that currently offer such sizes. Further important parameter to consider is construction efficiency. Mirrorless cameras are considerably lighter than most Dslrs but this also makes them vulnerable when using poor quality construction. You should also be able to access most camera functions in the middle of a shot, without having to hunt for them. Video recording is another region where it favors mirrorless cameras over Dslrs. With in-body image stabilisation (Ibis) production, it’s easy to capture 4 K videos at 60 fps without any noticeable shake in the footage. With these factors in mind we have narrowed down on some of today’s best mirrorless cameras on the market. So here are the 8 best mirrorless cameras to buy for 2019. 1. Olympus Om-D E-M10 Mark Iii

You get the best features of the E-M10 Mark Ii like the 2.36 million dots Oled Evf in-body 5-axis picture stabilisation and more. The E-M10 Mark Iii is compatible with Olympus and Panasonic lenses of various sizes. This camera focuses on the inexperienced or amateur photographer only getting up to speed with a serious camera’s workings. Most forms of scene have automatic settings, and the touchscreen helps Af to do it on a smartphone just like you do. The Olympus E-M10 Mark Iii only offers a 16 Mp sensor which may seem low considering that we have up to 43 Mp sensors in this list. But the difference is hardly noticeable for everyday use and doesn’t affect the quality of the picture in any way. There is no external mic input and there is a lot of noise created by Iso above 3200. That said if you just start testing waters with a professional camera the E-M10 Mark Iii is about the right tool. Cons: 16 Mp is somewhat low; no external microphone input support;

The camera includes an Iso setting dial and you can also adjust the settings even when the camera is off. The size of the Iso was also expanded and now ranges from 100 to 50000. The M10 has an improved 2 Gb onboard buffer that enables photographers to catch fleeting moments with higher capture speeds, among other interesting features. Now, the camera can easily reach a burst fire rate of 5 fps. The viewfinder has also been completely redesigned to help photographers clearly see subjects.

The device’s 4 K capabilities have attracted a variety of movie makers. What’s more, not just 4 K celebrates video and film enthusiasts, but the ability to add a professional Xlr audio input with an adaptor coupled with a very powerful and reliable magnesium alloy build. Photographers should appreciate the fact that the camera’s max shutter speed exceeds a staggering 1/8000 sec which is a feature found in the top of the line equipment only. The sensor does not use a filter that gives sharper images. The Panasonic Lumix Dh-5 is a fantastic mirrorless camera but only 410 shots last for the battery life. While the overall quality of the build is excellent, the camera can feel a bit voluminous. Pros: perfect for filming videos; very nice Oled Evf Cons: bulky; low battery life
