How do you choose the best camera when there are so many different types? 

Never fear – we're here to help. We'll explain all the different types, who they are best suited to, and what to look for.

1/ Nikon D3500

Nikon D3500

The Nikon D3500 is a longtime favorite of ours. It's by no means the most advanced DSLR you can get, but its simplicity, controls, and the quality of images it can create make it our top recommendation for anyone just starting out. There's a lot the D3500 doesn't do - it has a fixed rear screen that isn't touchscreen, it doesn't have on-sensor hybrid autofocus and it doesn't shoot 4K video. But its 24-megapixel sensor delivers ultra-sharp, super-high-quality images, Nikon's latest retractable AF-P kit lens is a miniature marvel and focuses very quickly in live view, even without phase-detection autofocus. on the sensor. The D3500 handles well, it's easy to use, it's more powerful than it looks and it's the perfect introduction to interchangeable lens photography.

2/ Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV

With a new 20MP sensor, progressively improved in-body image stabilization, and a new flip-and-tilt monitor, the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is the best version yet of a camera we've loved for ages. chandeliers. Retaining the 4K video and eye-catching styling that made the Mark III so appealing to consumers, the Mark IV is poised to become a new favorite for anyone looking for an entry-level camera that can do it all. It's one of our favorite pint-sized cameras, so we're really excited that it FINALLY has Olympus' latest 20MP sensor. It's still a little pricey for beginners, but it's a great little camera that's so much more powerful than it looks and could be with you for a long time.

3/ Fujifilm X-T200

Fujifilm X-T200

The Fujifilm X-T200 is light and compact but looks and feels like an old-school 35mm SLR camera. Even better, it has a large new 3.5-inch vari-angle touchscreen with twice the resolution of most rivals and a 1:6 aspect ratio perfectly suited for video. It also has an electronic viewfinder and can record 4K video as well as 24-megapixel stills. Its electrically powered 15-45mm kit lens takes up much less space than a regular kit lens and offers a wider angle of view than most, making it ideal for indoor shots and wide vantage points. mark. The large touchscreen will help smartphone developers feel right at home, and if you decide you don't need an electronic viewfinder, the cheaper X-A7 is essentially the same but cheaper.

4/ Fujifilm X-S10

Fujifilm X-S10

The Fujifilm X-S10 lacks the external exposure controls of the higher-level X-series cameras, but that's the only thing we can complain about, and clearly, it's not. not an "amateur" camera. because its build quality and handling immediately stand out. The switch to a conventional mode dial might disappoint Fujifilm fans, but the excellent finish, build quality and handling and inclusion of IBIS (in-body stabilization) give this camera a very wide appeal, particularly in this price segment, to produce perhaps the best combination of performance, quality and value in the APS-C mirrorless camera market right now. It even has a vari-angle rear screen, which is another reason we're rating this new camera above our previous favorite, the X-T30.

5/ Nikon Z5

Nikon Z5

While Nikon has done a solid job filling out the top end of its Z line of full-frame mirrorless cameras with the flagship Z7 II and even found room for a cheeky APS-C offering with the Z50. , it probably lacked a level gateway entry to the full-frame. That came in the form of the Nikon Z5, a sleek little shooter that offers full-frame functionality at an attractive price. With two card slots and a 4K UHD video, it takes a few benchmarks from pro bodies, though you won't be shooting bursts over 4.5 fps. Still, with full weather sealing, five-stop image stabilization, and a spectacular electronic viewfinder, anyone who takes their first leap into full-frame is going to find themselves absolutely spoiled for features. What we like the most about this camera is its low price.

6/ Canon EOS 90D

Canon EOS 90D

We know mirrorless cameras are all the rage, but we've included the Canon EOS 90D for any DSLR fans we know are still out there - and anyone with drawers full of Canon lenses! The Canon EOS 90D is an incredible APS-C workhorse of a camera, which combines the highest resolution ever seen in a 32.5MP APS-C sensor, with a high-speed frame rate of 10 fps, and it also handles great uncropped 4K video, without that irritating crop that has plagued Canon cameras in the past. Its handling and ergonomics are a joy, reminding us why shooting on a DSLR is such an enjoyable tactile experience, and it's available for a welcome price for enthusiasts - not to mention the fact that you get an optical viewfinder, which many people still prefer over the electronic viewfinders of mirrorless cameras. Rumors of the death of the DSLR will have been greatly exaggerated if Canon continues to produce models as good as this.

7/ Panasonic Lumix G100

Panasonic Lumix G100

Vloggers and content creators will appreciate the simplicity of the Lumix G100. It makes it easy to capture high-quality videos and stills with its accessible button layout. Even people who don't care about the technical aspects of capturing great videos will be able to get results with this camera. There's an inherent risk of weighing things down too much when building a social media camera, but Panasonic avoided that pitfall with the Lumix G100. By giving it a decent viewfinder and "camera-correct" ergonomics, Panasonic gave the G100 an edge in a highly competitive market. It's a great camera to start with if you're interested in travel photography, vlogging, or both!

8/ Sony ZV-1

Sony ZV-1

Normally we recommend interchangeable lens cameras for any kind of serious photography or filmmaking, but we'll make an exception with the Sony ZV-1. It has a fixed 3x zoom lens and a smaller 1-inch sensor than its Micro Four Thirds and APS-C rivals, but it makes up for it with a super-compact body small enough to slip into a jacket or even a pant pocket, and a body, controls, sound system, and rear that are brilliantly optimized for vlogging. The woolen hat you see in the photos is a silencer to reduce wind noise while shooting, and it comes with the camera, and the autofocus on this camera is incredibly fast - and comes out brilliantly when holding objects to show the camera.

9/ DJI Pocket 2

DJI Pocket 2

We went really left with this suggestion, but the DJI Pocket 2 could be a great travel/vlogging camera. It wouldn't be the first choice for stills, but its 16MP stills (they can go up to 64MP) are probably better than a smartphone and it can also take stitched multi-row programmable panoramas in the camera. There's even an optional wide-angle add-on for spectacular interiors and architecture. Its star trick is its video, however, with a built-in gimbal that delivers a smoothness the biggest cameras can only dream of. It comes with a Dinky controller for motorized pan and tilt movements and has a trio of "follow" modes, just like a real gimbal. The difference is that this one fits in a shirt pocket. The built-in touchscreen is very small, but you can plug the Pocket 2 into your smartphone and control it on a larger screen via the DJI app.

10/ Panasonic TZ200/ZS200

Panasonic TZ200/ZS200

Interchangeable-lens DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are great if you want to get serious about photography, but can be overkill when you just want to shoot casually. Sometimes a compact fixed-lens camera will do, especially if you want to travel a lot and are more concerned with capturing the moment than technical details. A superzoom travel camera is a perfect solution, but most have very small 1/2.3 inch sensors which limit their image quality. The Panasonic TZ200/ZS200 is different. It's got a much larger 1-inch sensor for much better images, paired with a big 15x zoom - and yet it still fits in a jacket pocket when turned off. The TZ200/ZS200 isn't exactly cheap, but it's surely one of the best long-zoom compact cameras you can get, and it's got features and controls that even experts will love.
