There’s a huge amount of mirrorless choice right now.
These three new models are vying for your attention
Mirrorless
marvels
Words: Amy Davies Photography: Neil Godwine’re now over a decade into the
mirrorless revolution. They’ve all
but overtaken the old DSLR for
non-pros, with a diverse range of
options to suit every need, budget and skill
level. Standing out in this crowded market is
no easy task. With every major manufacturer
offering at least one line of mirrorless
cameras, it can be hard to know which one
is right for you.
To that end, we’ve selected three models
that are all interesting in their own ways.
The Nikon Z 50 comes hot on the heels
of its full-frame siblings, offering a more
affordable, mass-market product that is ideal
for travel. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 comes to the
market without a main rear screen,
promising to make you a more considered
photographer and stop you endlessly
checking your shots (there’s a hidden screen
you can reveal if you need to), and finally the
Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III brings an
attractively retro body, enticing specs and a
neat little package inside a mature system.These aren’t the only models that you
might consider - far from it - but they’re all
what could reasonably be called ‘mid-range’
cameras. These may or may not be your first
serious or ‘proper’ camera, but they offer a
decent range of specifications at a fairly
affordable - or good value - price. You can
find cheaper, but you can equally also find
more expensive options.
Without further ado, we take a closer
look at what each of these mirrorless
cameras has to offer.W
