With the passage of time, the smallest moments can develop into the most powerful memories – that’s why it’s important to preserve them with the best possible tool.

INTERCHANGEABLE LENS

X-T4 is compatible with Fujifilm’s popular line-up of XF compact prime lenses and the newly released XF27mmF2.8 R WR, which between them can provide a lightweight, durable option for countless situations.

To Know:

The Fujifilm X100V is a one-of-a-kind camera from Fujifilm's X series. Unlike previous X-series cameras, it does not accept interchangeable lenses. Instead, it has a fixed 23mm f/2 lens with a classic focal length for everyday use and street photography, as well as a tiny design that fits easily into a jacket pocket. The X100V is the camera's fifth generation, and it comes with Fujifilm's new 26.1-megapixel X-Trans processor, a new and better lens, and a tilting touchscreen. Although there are some ergonomic enhancements, this is fundamentally the same design that has earned cult status among amateur and professional photographers. It's one of the greatest compact Fujifilm cameras for enthusiasts and one of the best Fujifilm cameras for Fujifilm fans. Although the fixed focal length lens limits it as a travel camera, the tiny chassis allows it to be carried around easily.

What We Love:

INCREDIBLE COLOR TONES

Fuji is no stranger to incredible JPEGs straight from the sensor’s source, making it easy for edits on the fly.

THE LENS

23mm F/2.0 fixed lens works swimmingly for shooting lifestyle imagery since it actually turns into a 35mm equivalent on a full-frame sensor (important to note that the 100V is a cropped mirrorless sensor!).

SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT FROM THE X100F

This lens is a significant upgrade from the design used on previous X100 cameras, while maintaining the same overall size and compatibility with legacy WCL/TCL conversion lenses, and retaining its internal ND filter that now features 4 stops.

The Details:

Brand: Fujifilm

Price: $1,399.95

Camera Type: Mirrorless

Lens Used: 23mm F/2.0 Fixed Lens (35mm Equivalent on a Full-Frame Sensor)

Best For: Street scenes, wide-angle portraits, lifestyle images, Instagram sponsored posts, short GIFs made with its video capabilities, and on-the-go captures.

To Know:

For the outstanding all-around build, quality, and appealing features, this bad boy is quite Canon's next landmark camera. This mirrorless beauty not only dominates every market segment but also features a 45MP sensor with fantastic quality thanks to the revolutionary low-pass filter system, as well as the world's best autofocus tracking system. With a staggering 5,940 AP points for photography and 4,500 for video, it's no surprise that this technological marvel enthralls everyone; mind you, this camera has the same AF system as the EOS 1D X Mark III. Internally store an uncropped 8K Raw footage at up to 29.97 frames per second in 4:2:2 12-bit Canon Log or HDR PQ in both UHD and DCI. This is a performance of cinematic quality. However, the EOS R5 suffers from some recording limitations while filming in both 8K and 4F; firmware has been released to alleviate this issue, but it is unquestionably one of the downsides.

What We Love:

EXCEPTIONAL 8K VIDEO

So good, it’s unruly.

IMAGE QUALITY IS 11/10

Honestly doesn’t get any better than this.

FAST AF

Same AF system as their most expensive Mark III camera.
