Every year, there are a few excellent new cameras that seem to fly a bit under the radar. Whether they were released late in the year in the midst of the holiday rush or were overshadowed by pricier models with more bells and whistles and, consequently, more hype, these lower key but still worthy cameras get overlooked year after year.

Review: Ricoh GR III

A pricey point-and-shoot that aims to capture all decisive moments

The Ricoh GR III does an excellent job capturing landscapes or cityscapes in normal lighting conditions. The camera also has a 3-axis in-body image stabilizer, which can help ensure that the camera maintains sharp details in your images.

Hands on with a light and compact full-frame EOS camera

Terry Sullivan

While the other two mirrorless cameras I wrote about recently, the Sony A6400 and Fujifilm X-T30, are very capable and include powerful features, neither has a large, full-frame sensor like the one included on the 26.2-megapixel Canon EOS RP.

First Look: Sony a6400

Hands on with a new mirrorless camera that's smaller and lighter than most, yet still very capable

Terry Sullivan

In mid-January, Sony announced the new 24.2-megapixel a6400, a mirrorless camera with an APS-C-sized sensor that’s priced reasonably for a camera with so many features: $900 body only, $1,000 with the 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens or $1,300 with the 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens. Sony wasn’t technically targeting pro photographers and filmmakers. Yet there... Read more

Sony RX100 VI

A new iteration of a classic compact camera boasts extended zoom range and fast burst shooting

Text & Photography by David Schloss

Sony’s original RX100 was one of those bits of camera gear that just nailed it on the first try. The idea is simple: Cram a quasi-professional set of features and good-quality glass into a camera you can fit in your pocket. The product has been part of Sony’s lineup for a long time, so long that it’s part of the Cyber-shot family and... Read more

The lightweight and compact design of mirrorless cameras makes them more convenient to carry—and that increases your chances of bringing home a winning photo.
