If you’re just starting out in photography and don’t want to spend too
much on your first camera, the Olympus PEN E-PL9 is pretty good,
but the Nikon D3500 delivers the proper DSLR experience foraquid
shy of £300, and that includes akit lens. The D3500’s excellent image
quality,long battery life, ease of useand relatively compact size more
than make up forthe lack of touchscreen and 4K video.
Spend more,and theCanon PowerShot G5 XMark II and
Panasonic Lumix G90 both make fine mirrorless options. Even better,
however,isthe Sony A6400: our Best Buy winner is wonderfully
balanced, with ahighstandard of photoquality,video features,
design and build quality throughout. That said, aparticular highlight
is its ability to shoot stills in fast bursts, so it’s especially good at
