And Sony came along with In-body image stabilization in the Sony A7 series. Olympus succeeded in even further improving the image stabilization in a very compact camera ( Olympus OM-D E-M10 mk2), so that it is amazing to see that you can get stable video recordings with this camera when shooting by hand. Panasonic made progress with in-body image stabilization in the Panasonic GX8. The application of high-resolution technology that could previously only be found in Hasselblad cameras, in an affordable micro-43 camer a ( Olympus OM-D E-M5 mk2 ), is also nothing short of spectacular.Īnother spectacular development is the improvement of In-Body Image Stabilization. Perhaps now a new balance will begin to be established.Īfter we spoke last year about a pause in the megapixel race, we saw in 2015 on all fronts cameras with higher resolution, with two 50-megapixel SLR cameras ( Canon 5Ds and Canon 5DsR) as the clearest examples. In recent years, the revenue from mirrorless system cameras rose at the cost of the revenue from SLR cameras. Is that the end of SLR? Not in the short term. Canon also announced wanting to do serious work in 2016 on mirrorless system cameras. The SLR cameras have quickly lost ground in recent years to mirrorless system cameras from Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony. System cameras without a mirror focus more accurately than an SLR camera, are lighter and more compact and usually offer more video options. Everyone hopes that the bottom in the market has more or less been reached. In 2015, there were fewer cameras sold than in 2014. Trend: Mirrorless system camera, 4K video, image stabilization and megapixels are sexy So as not to tease you with pink unicorns, we only give “ Good Stuff! Awards” to cameras that are still for sale. With equivalent image quality, we choose the older model. To the contrary, since the price-to-quality ratio of older products is usually better. For the “ Good Stuff! Awards,” it does not matter to use what year a camera or lens appeared. We are now-as we speak-busy behind the screens, working on expanding of the scores with the versatility and user-friendliness of cameras, in the hope of having the project completed before New Year’s.īecause there are many different types of photographers, with different preferences, we have divided the cameras into a few categories. Image quality should not be the only criterion on which you base the choice of a camera. We thus do not give any Awards to products that we have not reviewed ourselves. “ Good Stuff! Awards” are awarded on the basis of the image quality that we have observed in our practice and lab tests. But at the end of the year, we give out “ Good Stuff! Awards” to system cameras and lenses with the highest image quality, regardless of the shop price. That is why we publish “Ivo’s choice” with some regularity, for products with an attractive price-to-quality ratio.
