Best camera deals on Cyber Monday 2018: Late Black Friday discounts on Canon, Nikon, and Sony DLSRs, compact and bridge cameras

If you’re looking for a camera, Cyber Monday is a great time to buy one. Even though Black Friday has finished, there are still some incredible deals on offer – on DSLR cameras as well as point and shoot compacts. These discounts on brands you haven’t heard of either – they’re on camera from Canon, Nikon or Sony too – so these aren’t cheap knock-offs either.

So whether you’re looking for a cheap compact, a DSLR or even a little pocket shooter we’ve assembled a list below of the best camera deals around this Black Friday. Remember to keep checking back as we’ll be updating this page regularly with new additions, too.

Black Friday 2017 best camera deals

1. Canon 5D Mark III (now just £1,799) * LOW STOCK*

 

 

We reviewed the Canon 5D Mark III few years ago, and while that may seem like a long time, it’s not in the camera world. Canon prefers evolution over revolution when it comes to its model updates, so the 5D Mark III is still an incredible camera, even though it’s been replaced by the 5D Mark IV.

It might not have the pixel count or features of the 5D Mark IV, but the Canon 5D Mark III is still an incredible camera in 2017. We loved it when it was first released, and for a new Black Friday price of £1,800 – just over half the price of the updated 5D Mark IV, this deal from Canon is hard to beat. Read our review of the Canon 5D Mark III here

Best WiFi Router For Your Home

We spent over 3 weeks testing 10 of the most popular and highly reviewed Wi-Fi routers in India today. Our testing included an analysis on download speeds and Wi-Fi range. For this, we selected a two storey building and installed all the routers there. We then checked the internet speed and range from various points.

We also tested all other features such as the app control and the setup process. After our testing, we found the Xiaomi Mi3C to have the longest range and the only one to offer various features and control settings using its app.

Who is this for?

Our selections are perfect for you, if you are seeking a router for general purposes.

All our picks can effortlessly handle your browsing needs such as streaming videos, accessing social media and general internet browsing. However, these might not be the best picks if you are a professional gamer.

That being said, these routers would be perfect for houses ranging from a 2 – 3 BHK flat, all the way to a medium sized bungalow with two floors.

How we tested them?

We, at Hometop, spent three weeks relentlessly testing our selected routers in a multi-storey building in Bangalore so that we could precisely gauge their range and download speeds.

We made sure to test the routers performance both within the multi-storey building and also outside it.

To give you a sense of our testing locations, check out the image below.

To calculate the range, we took the phone outside the house and kept moving one metre away from it until the connection was lost. We then calculated the distance it took for the signal to get disrupted.

(Orange house on left is the test house, the position of the person in blue is the distance of range covered by the Mi router 3c)

Our best pick

(Image from pchousebd.com)

After testing of all the ten routers, we can safely say that the Xiaomi Mi3C was the best router, given its unparalleled range, its minimal design and its super useful app control.

The Xiaomi Mi3C could support download speeds up to 300Mbps. Where it shined the brightest was its range, which went up to 22 metres—the best in the test group. The initial set up was smooth, as it contained a QR code printed on the box which directly led us to download the app that allows you to control the router.

Almost all router settings can be controlled from the app – including updating the firmware, which we found very convenient. The app is available on android and iOS and displays all the features you might need. Covering really useful info like download speeds, number of devices connected and consumption of data per device connected to the router. Now you’ll know if your internet is slow because someone else is using it in the house or if the net is down.

The app provides parental control which can be really effective in blocking adult sites directly at the source and the app also has a feature which allows you to allocate bandwidth to the various devices connected to it. This is perfect if you don’t want one device consuming too much of the internet data.

All security and firmware updates can be done from the app which we really liked as now updating your router’s OS can be done immediately and this keeps your internet data secure from hackers. (Note: Updating the firmware would augment the security of your network connection and prevents hackers from attacking it.) The browser version of the settings panel is very thoughtfully designed, so that even a newbie can use it.

Coming to its negatives, the app can be a little buggy and can have some translation issues. However, Xiaomi does promise regular updates which should solve these issues. The app does still offer complete control and offers some unique features. Another downside is that the router supports only two LAN ports. This means only two devices can be connected to the router with a wire. The router also comes without an Ethernet cable which could have been used to manually connect an extra PC to the router. Warranty, too, is covered only for a year— the shortest warranty of all the routers we tested.

However, all negatives considered, the Mi3C remains the clear-cut winner. It truly outperformed every router we tested. For this reason, we recommend the Xiaomi Mi3C as our pick for the best wireless router for your home.

Google Launches Files Go | Allcameradriver.com

Google today announced the launch of Files Go app that takes a mobile-first approach to freeing up space, finding files faster and easily sharing them with others, even when offline. Starting today, Files Go will be globally available on the Google Play Store for all phones running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher.

Talking about the new app, Caesar Sengupta, Vice President, Next Billion Users, Google, in a blogpost said, “Every day, millions of smartphones run out of space. While phones with 16GB or 32GB of storage are becoming more popular, many phones around the world have much less storage, often as low as 4GB.”

He also mentioned, “Users often struggle to keep on top of the storage space on their phones and are constantly having to choose between what to keep or delete. We’ve been testing Files Go for a month, and the average user is saving 1GB of space and has shared many files with others without using data.”

Adding further on the application’s capabilities, it is worth noting that users get personalised suggestions about which files to delete, whether it’s unused apps, large files, duplicate files or low-resolution videos and memes detected using Google’s latest mobile vision technology. The app also allows you to find exactly the stuff you want with smart filters that automatically organize your images, videos, apps, documents, and more.

Best waterproof camera 2017: Splash out on the best waterproof cameras from £119

Best waterproof camera 2018: Splash out on the best waterproof cameras from £119

Want to take your DSLR into the briny deep? Get out your wallet and prepare to die, because a reliable waterproof housing is going to set you back at least as much as the camera itself. The good news is, there’s a thriving market in compact cameras designed specifically for underwater photography. Advanced shooting modes make for better shots than any smartphone, while bigger, better lenses mean you can make the most of the limited light that’s available below the surface.

And it’s not just about waterproofing. Manufacturers realise that their users are likely to be adventurous, wandering souls, and pack in all sorts of outdoor-friendly feature such as GPS tagging, sports modes and rugged casings that can withstand drops from surprisingly tall heights.

Pack your trunks and read on: whether you’re snorkelling, diving, or simply looking for a camera guaranteed of surviving a family trip the beach, we’ve got you covered.

How to buy the best waterproof camera for you

How rugged does my camera need to be?

Most cameras are sturdy enough to survive everyday accidents. Over the years, the ham-fisted team at Expert Reviews has dropped, crushed or splashed cameras from virtually every manufacturer with few ill effects.

For underwater photography, though, the problem is seawater. It’s extremely corrosive, and generally fatal to anything with an electronic pulse. Whether you’re going snorkelling off the Isle of Wight or diving in a Bornean coral reef paradise, you need a camera that’s specifically designed to withstand the deep. Sailors should take note as well – even if you’re planning to remain on deck, oversized waves can catch you off guard, so a camera that can take a briny beating is a must-have.

How much should I spend?

At the “fun” end of the scale you can spend under £150 for a reputable brand like Nikon. Go bigger and you’ll be spending the thick end of £400 for something a bit tougher, and with more features and modes to suit advanced photographers.

Tell me more about these features, then…

At lower prices, you can expect very little in the way of advanced controls such as shutter or aperture priority, manual ISO and so on. A higher-end camera will do much more: in addition to extra shooting modes, you may be able to transfer pictures wirelessly, and use GPS-based geo-tagging to track where each shot was taken.

The minor matter of image quality arises too: expect higher-resolution sensors and better performance in low light (crucial underwater), as well as brighter lenses. If you want to shoot 4K video underwater, you may have to pay more for that capability too.

The best waterproof cameras to buy

1. Nikon COOLPIX W300: The best waterproof camera for the ambitious

Price when reviewed: £400 – Buy now from Jessops

Nikon’s W300 is an affordable little snapper, but one that offers just about everything you could ask from an underwater compact. It’s waterproof to 30 metres, so it’ll suit all but deep-sea divers and its 1/2.3in CMOS sensor produces 16-megapixel stills as well as shooting 4K footage at 25fps, with a front-facing LED light to help illuminate the scene.

The stabilised zoom lens offers a focal range of 4.3-21.5mm – equivalent to 24-120mm in 35mm terms – which is well suited to underwater photography. And with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS you get the full complement of wireless connectivity.

Impressively, the optional SR-CP10A adapter allows the W300 to remotely fire Nikon’s underwater SB-N10 Speedlight, making this a camera that can grow with your underwater photography ambitions.

Key specs – Waterproofing: 30 metres (100ft) for 60 minutes; Stills resolution: 16 megapixel; Video modes: 4K at 25p, 1080 at 50p, 720 at 25p; Lens (35mm conversion): 4.3-21.5mm (24-120mm); ISO range: 125-6400; Display: 3in, 921k pixel LCD; Memory card format: SD, SDHC, SDXC; Connectivity: micro USB; Bluetooth 4.1, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS; Claimed battery life: 280 shots, approx 1hr 1080 25p movie recording; Size: 112 x 29 x 66mm (WDH); Weight: 231g

2. Ricoh WG-50: Best for close up photography

Price when reviewed: £250

If you’re a Ricoh aficionado, you may notice a striking similarity between the new WG-50 and the three-year-old WG-30. Indeed, it’s not just the exterior that’s largely unchanged from that older model: you still get a rear-illuminated CMOS sensor with 16 megapixels to shoot with, with ISO settings up to 6400. It also still has a 2.7in screen on the back and a 5-25mm 5x zoom lens. And it still sports a design more at home in the Bat Cave than in the average camera bag.

Still, even though not much has changed, there’s loads to like. Take the front-mounted LED ringflash, for example, useful for lighting underwater scenes, and also handy for the WG-50’s 1cm macro mode. And the WG-50 is a touch more waterproof than the outgoing model: it’s able to withstand depths of 14 metres (45 feet), which is two metres more than the WG-30.

That’s still a relatively – relatively – shallow depth restriction, and it means the WG-50 doesn’t necessarily offer the last word in underwater stills abilities. But if you can live with that it’s a great little camera at a reasonable price.

Key specs – Waterproofing: 14 metres (45ft) for 120 minutes; Stills resolution: 16 megapixel; Video modes: 1080 at 30p, 720 at 60/30p; Lens (35mm conversion): 5-25mm (28-140mm); ISO range: 125-6400; Display: 2.8in, 230k pixel LCD; Memory card format: SD, SDHC, SDXC; Connectivity: micro USB; Claimed battery life: 300 shots, approx 90mins movie recording; Size: 123 x 30 x 62mm (WDH); Weight: 193g

3. Olympus TOUGH TG-5: Best for high-end Cousteau-wannabes

Price when reviewed: £399

Olympus’ brand new TOUGH TG-5 is the only camera here that offers aperture and shutter-priority, and there’s even a full manual exposure mode. That may be Double Dutch to many, but for more experienced photographers it’s a real boon. It’s also the only camera here besides the GoPro to offer a RAW mode for stills, and although its 12-megapixel sensor isn’t the last word in resolution, it can shoot at up to ISO 12,800, and features a continuous LED light to help with lighting. Movies are handled with aplomb, with 30p and 25p offered for 4K recording, and slow-motion offered at 120fps in 1080p or 240fps in 720p.

What really marks this out as a serious camera is the range of add-ons available. Olympus’ optional Light Guide (£30) adding a continuous LED ring flash, while the PT-058 dive housing (around £280) increases the TG-5’s maximum depth from 15 metres to 45 metres, and is compatible with the Olympus UFL-3 underwater strobe (another £280). A screw-on fisheye converter lens (around £110) widens the 25-100mm lens to just 19mm – ideal for underwater photography. You should also note that with a claimed 340 stills per battery charge the TG-5 has the best battery life here.

The TG-5 is one of the most expensive cameras here, and if you add the dive housing and strobe it’s a serious investment. But if you can stand the price it just might be the ultimate non-DSLR for divers.

Key specs – Waterproofing: 15 metres (49ft); Stills resolution: 12 megapixel; Video modes: 4K at 25p, 1080 at 25p, 120p, 720 at 25p, 120p, 240p; Lens (35mm conversion): 4.5-18mm (25-100mm); ISO range: 100-12800; Display: 3in, 460k pixel LCD; Memory card format: SD, SDHC, SDXC; Connectivity: micro USB, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS; Claimed battery life: 340 shots, approx 110mins movie recording; Size: 113 x 32 x 66mm (WDH); Weight: 250g

4. Nikon COOLPIX W100: Best for beginners

Price when reviewed: £119 – Buy now from Jessops

At under £120, the W100 is stonkingly affordable. Nikon describes it as a “family-friendly” camera, and that means just what you’d expect: there’s little in the way of advanced controls (although you do get exposure compensation), but it’s easy to use, and it’s almost indestructible.

Specifically the Nikon W100 can survive drops from up to 1.8 metres (5.9ft) and is waterproof to a respectable 10 metres. And while it doesn’t exactly bristle with controls, it’s not entirely short on features: you get both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as 1080p Full HD video recording at 30fps.

With a maximum ISO of 1600, and no continuous LED, low-light performance isn’t great. There’s no option to add an external underwater strobe either, so if you’re hoping to capture dazzling underwater scenes you might find it limiting. But as rugged alternative to sticking your smartphone in an underwater housing it’s great value.

Key specs – Waterproofing: 10 metres (33ft) for 60 minutes: Stills resolution: 13 megapixel; Video modes: 1080 at 30p; ISO range: 125-1600; Display: 2.7in, 230k pixel LCD; Memory card format: SD, SDHC, SDXC; Connectivity: micro USB, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth; Claimed battery life: 340 shots, approx 110mins movie recording; Size: 113 x 32 x 66mm (WDH); Weight: 250g

5. GoPro Hero5 Black: Best for filmmakers

Price when reviewed: £329

 

 

The Hero5 is not a camera for artistically-minded stills photographers. Yes, there’s a 2in preview screen so you can frame up accurately, but with no manual exposure mode and limited touch-based exposure locking, it’s a poor alternative to the likes of the Olympus TG-5 or Nikon W300.

For video, though, it’s brilliant. With just a single “record” button, it’s outstandingly easy to use, yet spec-wise it outperforms nearly everything else here. It shoots 30fps 4K footage like the Nikon W300, but also provides slow-motion capture up to 240fps in 720p or 120fps in 1080p. It’s tiny too, measuring 62mm wide by 45mm tall, and extremely light at just 87 grams. And since it’s a GoPro, you can partner it with a huge range of grips, mounts, and accessories, including GoPro’s own on-brand drone.

If video’s your thing then there aren’t many reasons to look elsewhere – but there are a few. It’s only waterproof to 10 metres, unless you invest in GoPro’s £50 dive case, and the tiny 2in screen isn’t great for framing and playing with settings: it’s designed to be body or helmet mounted, turned on and forgotten.

For keen stills photographers the Olympus TG-5 is a better bet: those manual modes, big screen and stills-specific accessories are too tempting. For video, this should be at the top of your list.

Read our full review of the GoPro Hero5 Black

Key specs – Waterproofing: 10 metres (33ft): Stills resolution: 12 megapixel; Video modes: 4K at 25p, 24p, 2.7k at 50p, 48p, 25p, 1440 at 80p, 50p, 48p, 25p, 24p; 1080 at 120p, 90p, 80p, 50p, 48p, 25p, 24p, 960 at 120p, 50p, 720 at 240p, 120p, 50p, 100p, 24p; ISO range: 400-6400; Display: 2in touchscreen LCD; Memory card format: microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC; Connectivity: USB-C, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS; claimed battery life: still shooting not stated, approx 90mins movie recording at 4K, 120mins at 1080/60p, 150 mins at 1080/25p; Size: 62 x 33 x 45mm (WDH); Weight: 87g

New Samsung Patent Hints At New Palm Scan Technology

It looks like a new patent is out on the Internet revealing Samsung’s new technology which is allegedly being designed to scan a user’s palm to help them in unlocking their device.

We have already come across many secured ways of unlocking the devices, and Samsung itself has a lot of different layers of security in its mobile phones including PIN, fingerprint sensor, iris scanner and facial recognition. However, the recent patent shows that a palm scanning technology is currently in the pipeline. It is, infact, being planned to use as a method to show hints in the worst case scenario of user forgetting the password, and not actually unlock the phone itself.

According to the patent, users will have to capture their palm using the front camera, which according to many sources, proves that it is not one of the most secured way of unlocking the device. No wonder the company has already made clear that it will only be password hinting method.

The pictures as shared in a recent patent shows that the password hint will be displayed in conjunction with the lines on the palm rather than simply popping it up on the screen. It is being said that this adds an additional security when a random person looks at the smartphone. The scattered alphabets as shown in the images are difficult to immediately recognise. However, the company believes that this should be enough for the user to actually recall the password.

So, the patent is leaked, and the big question is, would Samsung really use this technology in its coming flagship device or simply throw this into a bin. Only time can tell!

Here, we’ve broken them down for you, detailing which baggage are excellent for which kind of photographer, and what greater features they offer.

How to buy the satisfactory digicam bag for you
What length of bag ought to I be searching out?
If you’re seeking out a digital camera bag that’s precisely massive enough to house your current photographic gadget, you are doing it incorrect. Instead, do this notion exercising: think of your dream photographic excursion, and purchase a bag for that. That method you’ll need area for the biggest lens you’re ever probable to apply, your dream digicam frame, a handful of wider lenses and, of path, a laptop and a handful of tough disks for backup. Now we’re talking.

So my bag ought to have area for non-images items too?
Even if you’re not a lower back-up-each-day sort of photographer, a separate area for a pill or pc will paintings wonders with regards to maintaining you moving. With some ancillary wallet for tough disks, notebooks, pens and your passport, your digicam bag can be the handiest issue you need to carry.

Ok, I’ve located one with enough area. Now what?
Flexibility is the whole thing. A proper digital camera bag have to have adjustable, ideally removable dividers, so you can tuck up the whole lot high-quality and tight whether you’re wearing one lens or 5. You clearly don’t need your equipment to get bashed round in transit. Also reflect onconsideration on how your bag opens: bags that best open from the top are vulnerable to collecting forgotten odds and ends at the lowest; ones that unzip all the way make it smooth to access all of your tools.

Which sort of bags are exceptional for extraordinary digicam types: DSLR, Mirrorless, Compact and so forth?
If you operate on the whole light tools, inclusive of mirrorless cameras and pancake lenses, a fashionable messenger-style bag must do you nice. But for heavier kit – which include complete-frame cameras and seasoned lenses – it’s in all likelihood to fast get uncomfortable. Consider a backpack with double shoulder straps – and, for delivered comfort (and nerd) points, a hip strap as nicely to stability the burden and ease the stress on your shoulders.

What should you do before splashing out?
Bad information, internet customers: you without a doubt, actually need to try out a digicam bag in individual earlier than you commit to it. That’s real of even cheapo, sub-£30 bags; it’s maximum clearly the case with £2 hundred-and-up seasoned models. What does it feel like to your again? Is it easy to adjust, even when it’s heavy with package? Is your tools accessible whilst it’s in there?

If you insist on buying on-line then UK distance-promoting legal guidelines come up with 14 days to return it. Try it out as quickly as it arrives, and ship it lower back if it’s no longer ideal. You – and your returned – will remorse it if you don’t.

The best digital camera luggage from £20
1. AmazonBasics DSLR Gadget Messenger Bag Large with Orange Interior: The excellent reasonably-priced digicam bag
Price whilst reviewed: £20

Cool brand? No. Snappy name? No. Top-notch design credentials? Not in particular. But even as Amazon’s own-logo camera provider may additionally lack the cachet of, say, National Geographic’s, there’s plenty to be said for a nicely-made shoulder bag that slightly scrapes the twenty quid mark.

It won’t suit photographers who mechanically take the kitchen sink with them: a complete-body camera and more than one lenses will fill this bag more or much less to the brim. But in case you’re rocking a mirrorless camera, this may be all of the camera bag you ever want. It has sufficient area for a crop-frame body with a lens connected, plus one or other smallish lenses, and there’s a pouch at the again for a tablet. Extra wallet permit you to hold some spare memory cards or a (very) slender external difficult disk with you too.

Key specs – Type: Shoulder-style bag; Tablet/laptop compartment: Yes/No; Internal dimensions: 254 x 127 x 178mm (WDH); External dimensions: 130 x two hundred x 300mm (WDH); Empty weight: zero.73kg

2. Billingham Hadley Pro Canvas Camera Bag With Tan Leather Trim: The quality digital camera bag for traditional fashion
Price whilst reviewed: £189

Tipping up at a shade under £200, this canvas and leather khaki number is all class. With stitched leather straps and brass fittings, its classic look is underpinned by modern camera-bag trappings. The leather straps have a quick release strap so you don’t need to fiddle with them to get your gear out, and there’s room enough for a big DSLR and a few lenses. Velcro dividers inside let you customise the size and layout of the bag’s compartment – or you can pop the padded lining out entirely, allowing the Hadley Pro to double as a good-looking, practical weekend bag when it’s not on photography duties. Meanwhile, a pair of decent-sized pockets, with poppers to keep them shut, give you options for carrying hard disks, filters or memory cards.

It’s not huge: only the very smallest laptops will fit, and photographers with more than one camera should probably look elsewhere. It’s also a little disappointing that the shoulder strap – the obvious way to carry the bag when you’re out shooting – doesn’t have a pad to ease the wear on your shoulder and clothes. Instead, it’s a £30 option.

Still, when it comes to combining practicality and style the Hadley Pro is a winner. If you’re looking for a medium-sized camera bag while the rest of your stuff chills at your hotel, it’s hard to find a better-looking option.

Key specs – Type: Shoulder-style bag; Tablet/laptop compartment: No/No; Internal dimensions: 340 x 80 x 230mm (WDH); External dimensions: 350 x 120 x 280mm (WDH); Empty weight: 1kg

3. LowePro Pro Runner BP 350 AW II: The best all-round camera bag under £150

Price when reviewed: £139

After a go-anywhere camera bag, but don’t want to shell out for a high-end beast? The LowePro Pro Runner could be for you. It’s a compact little number – just 40cm tall – but it will take a full-frame DSLR (or two) plus a decent assortment of lenses. You might need to steer clear of enormous ultra-telephotos, but a decent 70-300mm should be fine. Owners of either full-height DSLRs, or DSLRs with battery grips, should try before they buy, as there’s a chance the extra height will pose a problem.

The thick front pocket can fit a tablet, and there’s a CradleFit pocket as well – a suspended compartment within the bag designed to shield a laptop from shocks and jostles. In this model it will only take a laptop up to 13in, but laptops up to 15in can be carried in the pocket at the front of the bag.

A decent handful of additional pockets means you should be able to get everything bar chargers and power cables into a single bag. It’s not as capacious as pricier bags, but for under £150 this bag holds a lot of gear for the money. Perfect for gap-year photographers.

Key specs – Type: Backpack-style bag; Tablet/laptop compartment: No/Yes; Internal dimensions: 290 x 115 x 395mm (WDH); External dimensions: 315 x 140 x 460mm (WDH); Empty weight: 2.4kg

4. National Geographic Earth Explorer camera holster S: A classic choice for old-school explorers

Price when reviewed: £30

Who knew National Geographic made camera bags? Well, technically they don’t – the bag itself is made by tripod giant Manfrotto, and branded up for stylish, adventurous types.

Stylish it certainly is. Finished in khaki green and made from cotton and canvas, this is a bag for travellers who yearn for the days when a trip to Africa involved a float plane and pith helmet. It’s a modern piece of kit, though: the zip on the main compartment has a clever seal that gives the bag – and its occupants – a little waterproofing.

You can’t keep loads in it. The “S” stands for “small”, and DSLR photographers – particularly aspirational types with full-frame cameras, battery grips and pro lenses – probably shouldn’t apply. But if you’ve got a mirrorless camera with maybe one or two lenses, bags don’t come much better looking than this.

Storage for accessories is minimal. There are no external straps to connect even a small tripod, and the pocket on the front is good for a USB cable and perhaps a lens cleaning cloth and not much else. Next to the AmazonBasics bag it’s comparatively limited, and it’s a tenner more expensive to boot. But which is going to look better on your Instagram feed?

Buy the National Geographic Earth Explorer now

Key specs – Type: Shoulder-style bag; Tablet/laptop compartment: No/No; Internal dimensions: 90 x 111 x 130mm (WDH); External dimensions: 125 x 125 x 165mm (WDH); Empty weight: 0.32kg

5. ThinkTank Airport International V3.0: The best for big budgets and bigger lenses

Price when reviewed: £359

American firm ThinkTank’s flagship camera-carrier isn’t cheap, but then a bag suitable for carrying five figures’ worth of kit probably shouldn’t be. You want capacity? You’ve got it. It’ll take two full-height DSLRs (or regular DSLRs with battery grips) with lenses, plus another two to four spare lenses, plus a laptop up to 15in AND a tablet – while a bunch of other pockets provide storage for notebooks, memory cards, cables, hard disks and so on.

ThinkTank’s build quality is legendary among professional photographers: watch any gaggle of paparazzi and you’re bound to spot a few ThinkTanks in there. Top-notch materials including ballistic nylon, abrasion-resistant zips and a water-repellent coating on the outside mean this bag should comfortably survive downpours and disasters. When the weather really comes in, an included blue rain cover with internal seams allow you to bolster the bag’s waterproofing even more.

The Airport International V3.0 is designed to accommodate a whopping 500mm f/4 lens – with a few others alongside – yet will still fit in the overhead locker of all but the smallest domestic jets. So if you’re hiring the lens of a lifetime for a safari, the Airport International V3.0 should see your kit there safe and sound.

Key specs – Type: Backpack-style bag; Tablet/laptop compartment: Yes/Yes; Internal dimensions: 33 x 16.5–19.1 x 47mm (WDH); External dimensions: 356 x 203 x 533mm (WDH); Empty weight: 4.4kg

6. ThinkTank Glass Taxi: The best pick for long-lens luggers

Price when reviewed: £129

The ThinkTank Glass Taxi occupies a slightly odd photographic niche: it’s ideal for photographers with one big telephoto lens, and not a lot else. It’ll hold a 500mm f/4 super telephoto, as long as it doesn’t have a camera attached, or a 300mm f/2.8 if you insist on putting both your lens and your camera in your bag.

To be fair, if your equipment is more normally-sized equipment it’s much more useful: the adjustable foam dividers allow you to fit a couple of big camera bodies and a series of normal zoom lenses, but you can forget about stuffing a laptop or even a tablet inside.

It feels supremely well-made, and the included waterproof cover is another plus. And where the Glass Taxi really excels is its expandability. The thick band on the front allows you to attach accessories from Think Tank’s Modulus range, which runs from small bags to separate DSLR holster pouches and lens holders. So if the Glass Taxi won’t hold everything you want right now, you can probably expand it to do the job.

For the price it’s a very appealing bag – although photographers with big dreams might find themselves updating sooner rather than later.

Key specs – Type: Backpack/shoulder-style bag; Tablet/laptop compartment: No/No; Internal dimensions: 211 x 203 x 414mm (WDH); External dimensions: 216 x 241 x 432mm (WDH); Empty weight: 2kg

OnePlus May ‘Face’ Court Over Face Unlock Feature

OnePlus 5T is one of the first few Android smartphones to get the face recognition technology right. Unlike the Note 8, this handset cannot be easily fooled when it comes to security. Unfortunately, for OnePlus, this very technology could land it in a legal trouble. A Florida-based company SensibleVision claims that OnePlus might be using some of its patented technologies.

The iPhone X’s Face ID tech is powered by infrared camera, dot projector, flood illuminator, and ambient light sensor. On the other hand, the OnePlus 5T pulls off similar results by using nothing more than a front-facing camera backed by clever algorithms. It makes up for the lack of complex sensors by using its display as means of illumination.

In an interview with MySmartPrice, SensibleVision’s CEO, George Brostoff, stated that, “This is nothing new. We have been doing this for years. It even appears that they (OnePlus) may be using several patented technologies…” He went on to add that “They (OnePlus) are likely infringing at the very least on our illumination patent…”.

There’s a catch for sensible vision, as they hold this patent only in United States. This means that OnePlus won’t have to worry much in China or other markets. And OnePlus doesn’t have much volumes in the US market anyway. For further updates, keep watching this space.

Canon EOS 800D review: A brilliant sub-£1000 DSLR

The Canon EOS 800D is the latest in a line of SLRs that has scored consistently well in our reviews in recent years. The EOS 750D didn’t excel in any particular area but a generous set of features, a sensible price and a consistently high quality added up to a camera that was perfect for home users looking for a proper camera.

We’re used to seeing subtle improvements with each update but the 800D makes some significant strides. The autofocus sensor is up from 19 to 45 points, leapfrogging the Nikon D5600 (with its 39-point autofocus) in an area that is usually Nikon’s stronghold. More autofocus points make it easier to focus exactly where you want to in the frame. It also — in theory — improves the camera’s ability to track moving subjects around the frame. Burst speed is up from 5 to 6fps and the faster processor means it can save JPEGs as fast as it captures them.

The sensor resolution remains at 24 megapixels but it now incorporates Canon’s Dual Pixel technology, which delivers significant improvements to autofocus performance when shooting photos in live view mode and for video capture. Canon SLRs used to be dire for video autofocus, but thanks to Dual Pixel they’re now better than any other brand of SLR or compact system camera (CSC).

Canon EOS 800D review: In use

The 800D looks and feels a lot like the 750D, with subtle cosmetic tweaks and one new button (to launch its wireless functions) separating their appearances. It’s small for an SLR but a comfortable fit in the hand, and its buttons fall under fingers. The single, vertical command dial isn’t my favourite design, though; CSCs at this price such as the Panasonic G80 and Fujifilm X-T20 offer dual command dials.

A new Guided interface encourages users to leave Auto mode and discover the benefits of shooting in program, priority and manual exposure modes. It shows graphics and simple text explanations to help users understand how to use exposure modes and settings. While it covers shutter speed and aperture settings well, it doesn’t explain ISO speed, white balance or autofocus modes. It also restricts the number of functions available via the Q menu button, hiding JPEG quality, metering mode and various other functions out of sight. I was relieved to find that the Standard shooting screen can be re-enabled, but Guided mode should be handy for beginners.

Once you know what you’re looking for, you’ll appreciate the generous number of single-function buttons to access key settings including ISO speed, white balance, drive mode and autofocus mode. Moving the autofocus point involves pressing a button and then moving the point using the four-way pad or the touchscreen. The latter is quicker but there’s a risk of inadvertently switching to a different autofocus mode. With a bit of practice it’s not too hard to avoid this.

White balance presets are easily available but — as with all EOS cameras — calibrating the custom white balance is unnecessarily convoluted. I also got caught out by the need to adjust menu settings and then hit OK to confirm them; adjusting and then half pressing the shutter button to exit the menu abandons the changes. The Q menu works differently, and this inconsistency was the main source of my confusion.

Another frustration is the limited ability to customise the behaviour of the Auto ISO mode. The upper ISO speed limit can be set but there’s no control over which shutter speeds are used (except by setting it manually in shutter-priority or manual exposure mode). Nikon SLRs allow users to adjust the Auto ISO mode’s behaviour for moving or static subjects, and Panasonic cameras detect subject motion automatically. The 800D is oblivious to subject motion. It tried to manage camera shake intelligently, using slower shutter speeds for wide-angle shots and faster for telephoto, but the specific choices made were rarely optimal. It’s a good motivation to master shutter-priority mode but it’d be even better if users didn’t feel compelled to do so.

The new wireless button launches the Wi-Fi configuration page, and with both NFC and Bluetooth available to help manage the Wi-Fi connection, establishing a new connection to an Android phone and to an iPad was trouble-free — a notable improvement on my experience with previous Canon cameras. It helps that the app spells out what to do, but there’s still scope to simplify the procedure. Wireless transfers and remote shooting both worked well, with elegant control over autofocus and exposure settings. I was also able to use the app as a remote video monitor, complete with touchscreen-controlled spot autofocus.

Canon EOS 800D review: Autofocus and performance

The Nikon D5600’s 39-point autofocus was one of its major selling points over the Canon EOS 750D, so Canon’s jump to 45 points is a big deal. It’s arranged in a grid nine across by five tall, and the touchscreen makes it quick to select a single point, a group of nine or leave the camera to pick a subject to focus on.

There’s also an option to define a starting point but then for the camera to track the subject around the frame for as long as the shutter button is (half or fully) pressed. This worked well but not brilliantly in my tests. Tracking autofocus for fast-moving subjects is a big challenge for any camera, and the 800D is on the cusp of delivering reliable results.

Switching to live view mode, it showed itself to be much more reliable at tracking moving subjects, and autofocus was quick to update, too. It faltered in very low light, though, and in some circumstances the camera was unable to focus and capture a picture despite repeated attempts.

Performance was excellent in both modes. I timed 0.3 seconds between shots when using the viewfinder, and 0.4 second in live view mode. The later is a big improvement over the 750D, which took around one second in live view mode, and the Nikon D5600, which took over three seconds.

Continuous performance hit the claimed 6fps performance, and with a fast SD card it kept going until the card was full. It managed the same speed with continuous autofocus enabled, and also with live view, although with both selected it dropped to 4.3fps. This is a major breakthrough for consumer SLRs, which up until now have failed to deliver a responsive shooting experience in live view mode. It’s particularly significant here, as live view is likely to be particularly popular with people upgrading from a compact or smartphone camera.

Canon EOS 800D review: Video capture

The 800D is an excellent video camera, thanks largely to Dual Pixel. Autofocus is responsive and reliable enough to be used with confidence in critical situations such as wedding speeches where you can’t go for a second take. Subject tracking is reliable too, and the articulated touchscreen makes it easy to pick a moving or static subject to focus on. There’s a choice of automatic or manual exposure. Priority modes would have been welcome, but fixing the shutter speed and aperture and leaving the ISO speed in Auto mode means you can control motion blur but still benefit from automatic exposure. The exposure lock button is latching for video, making it easy to lock and release exposure levels on demand.

With so much going for it, it’s frustrating that video capture is limited to 1080p. Canon’s cheapest 4K camera is the EOS 5D Mark IV, but other manufacturers’ starting price for 4K is much lower. Keen videographers face a frustrating choice between superior details from the Panasonic G80 (for instance), superior autofocus from the EOS 800D or spending a lot of money for the best of both worlds.

However, for photographers who want to shoot the occasional video, the 800D’s reliability will probably be more valuable than the G80’s extra detail. It’s certainly the perfect choice for home videos, keeping kids in sharp focus as they career around the frame.

Canon EOS 800D review: Photo quality

We’ve learnt to have high expectations of Canon SLRs’ image quality, and on the whole the 800D didn’t disappoint. Colours were rich and clean without looking over-processed, and details were precise and natural.

Metering was generally accurate but the camera had a tendency to exposure for the darkest parts of the frame. Sometimes this worked to its advantage but other shots were slightly overexposed. There was also the issue with shutter speeds that failed to take subject motion or significant camera shake into account, which could significantly reduce the success rate in certain conditions.

Comparing our studio test shots with archived shots, the 800D showed a small improvement in noise levels compared to the Canon EOS 750D but couldn’t quite match the clean output of the Nikon D5600. The D5600’s advantage was slim, though, and only visible at ISO 3200 and above. More significant is the D5600’s greater dynamic range, allowing me to extract more shadow detail from its RAW files with radical exposure settings in Lightroom.

Overall, though, these criticisms are minor. Image quality was generally up to the high standards we’d expect from Canon.

^ Canon’s usual knack for rich yet lifelike colours is on display here, and there’s masses of detail in the 24-megapixel file.  (1/320s, f/10, ISO 100, 43mm equivalent)

**CAPTION: ^ Details are pixel sharp and there’s no hint of noise. (1/400s, f/11, ISO 100, 56mm equivalent)

**CAPTION: ^ The automatic exposure has adjusted for the darker foreground, allowing the background to be over-exposed. (1/200s, f/5.6, ISO 320, 216mm equivalent)

^ This shot is similar but I’d have preferred a darker exposure here. (1/60s, f/4.5, ISO 100, 43mm equivalent)

^ Skin tones are detailed and lifelike but most of the shots in this sequence (at 1/80s on a moving boat) were blurred. Some other cameras would have detected the motion and raised the shutter speed automatically. (1/80s, f/5, ISO 100, 56mm equivalent)

^ Lots of detail and little sign of noise at ISO 1250. (1/400s, f/5, ISO 1250, 99mm equivalent)

^ Shaded skin tones at ISO 2500 are beginning to stress-test the EOS 800D’s noise levels. Once again, the metering system has exposed for the darkest part of the frame, albeit successfully in this case. (1/30s, f/3.5, ISO 2500, 32mm equivalent)

^ A passable snap at ISO 10,000. (1/100s, f/5, ISO 10000, 99mm equivalent)

^ ISO 25,600 is a step too far but it’s great to be able to shoot at all in such low light. (1/25s, f/4.5, ISO 25600, 56mm equivalent)

Canon EOS 800D review: Verdict

This is a strange time for SLRs. Compact system cameras have overtaken them for performance and video capture, and they’re generally on a par for image quality, controls and ergonomics. Meanwhile, SLRs such as the EOS 800D are increasingly behaving like CSCs with their significant improvements to live view mode.

There’s still a place for SLRs, though. Some people will prefer an optical viewfinder to an electronic one — even if the view through it is smaller — and Canon and Nikon’s SLR lens ranges are way beyond any CSC.

Choosing between the Canon EOS 800D and Nikon D5600 is a tough call. Both offer excellent photo and video quality, with Nikon taking the lead for photos and Canon producing more accomplished videos. Both have decent ergonomics, save for a few operational niggles. The Canon is faster, particularly in live view mode, while the Nikon has a longer battery life. We’ll call it a draw and leave you to take your pick.

The best cameras to buy in 2018

The best CSC, digital SLR and high-end compact cameras

If you want the ultimate image quality and flexibility, a digital SLR or Compact System Camera is for you. There’s a lot of variation in this category, from hulking semi-pro DSLRs to fairly compact budget CSCs, but all of them have interchangeable lenses so you choose the best tool for the job. Generally speaking, sensor size is far bigger than on a compact camera, with this being the best, simple indicator of image quality, although big sensors do restrict zoom multipliers. Most of these cameras have plenty of manual controls, for those who want to fine-tune their exposures, though this isn’t always the case with the more budget CSC offerings.

1. Canon G7 X Mark II: The best compact camera you can buy

Price when reviewed: £599

An update to the brilliant G7 X, one of our favourite cameras of 2015, this new model has astounded us by being better yet. The core concept is still the same, take a 1in sensor and marry it with a bright lens in order to provide SLR kit lens quality in a far smaller and more portable package.

The small camera still fits into most pockets. Inside there’s a faster processor for quicker shooting and a better grip on the front, which is greatly appreciated for those times you’re holding a £500+ camera with a single hand. The LCD screen on back now tilts up and down, it’s still a touchscreen, so entering settings can be done using this and with the lens ring around the front, alongside a wealth of other dials and buttons.

It’s photo quality that really stand out, though. The 20-megapixel sensor and f/1.8-2.8 lens produce incredible results in almost all lighting conditions. There’s also a fairly wide 4.2x zoom range, bigger than most SLR kits lenses, so framing shots is a breeze too. The results are packed with detail, with great colours in JPEGs and a lack of noise that’s surprising for such a small camera.

The G7 X Mark II is already a strong contender for our camera of the year, if you need something more portable than a CSC or SLR this is the camera to buy.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 20 megapixels, Sensor size: 1in, Viewfinder: None, LCD screen: 3in (1,040,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): 4.2x (24-100mm), 35mm-equivalent aperture: f/5-7.7, Weight: 319g, Dimensions (HxWxD): 64x108x42mm

2. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV: A stunning DSLR, if you can afford it

Price when reviewed: £3,599

It’s not like the 5D Mark III was a bad camera – it was one of the best high-end DSLRs money could buy. But as you’d hope, Canon has revisited its legendary DSLR and pushed it to ever-greater heights. You now get impressively crisp 4K video recording as part of the package, and autofocus – traditionally a weak point – is now good enough that you can rely on it in most situations. This is a huge step forward for shooting video, but the quality of the photographs you get from the 5D Mark IV is better than ever.

The upgraded 61-point autofocus sensor is a welcome addition; the full-frame sensor now has 30.4 megapixels to play with; and continuous shooting now hits 7fps, up from the 6fps on the previous model. Apart from a few nit-picks, this is a DSLR to be reckoned with. Whether you’re a deep-pocketed amateur or a professional that’s looking for an upgrade on an older model, this is one purchase you’re unlikely to regret.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 30.4 megapixels, Sensor size: 36x24mm (Full frame), Focal length multiplier: 1x, Viewfinder: Optical TTL, LCD screen: 3.2in (1,620,000 dots), Lens mount: Canon EF, GPS, Wi-Fi, Weight: 800g, Size (HxWxD): 116x151x76mm

3. Fujifilm X-T2: The best CSC camera serious money can buy

Price when reviewed: £1,357

Fujifilm’s X-T1 was frustratingly close to perfection, and now the X-T2 has taken everything that made its predecessor so great and improved on it. You still get a pleasingly old-school design which is both weather-sealed and reassuringly robust, but the quality of the video capture has taken a huge leap forwards – this is now a superbly capable all-rounder for taking on both stills and video work.

There are still chinks in that somewhat dauntingly expensive armour, such as the slightly unreliable autofocus in burst stills and video modes, and Fujifilm should definitely look to give the next generation model a faster turn of speed in single drive mode.

That said, the X-T2 is a fantastic camera that delivers fantastic results in a wide range of challenging shooting conditions. For many people, that’s well worth paying a premium for.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 24 megapixels, Sensor size: 23.6×15.6mm (APS-C), Focal length multiplier: 1.5x, Viewfinder: Electronic (2.36 million dots), LCD screen: 3in (1.04 million dots), Lens mount: Fujifilm X Mount, Weight: 507g, Dimensions (HxWxD): 92x143x51mm

4. Sony RX100 V: A stunningly capable compact at a not-so-compact price

Price when reviewed: £943

It’d be easy to mistake the Sony RX100 V for a mere compact camera. Take one look at the photos and videos captured by this miniature wonder, however, and you’ll realise that you’re in the company of something very special indeed. There’s only one catch: you won’t get much change from £1,000.

Pay your money and you’ll be rewarded with the fastest camera we’ve ever encountered. The RX100 V grabs 23.1 images per second and is capable of keeping that up for 170 JPEGs or 72 RAW photos before slowing down – if you’re sick of missing that perfect shot, you’ve got no excuse with the Sony.

That speed wouldn’t be much good if it weren’t partnered with great image quality, and thankfully the RX100 V delivers the goods. The 24-70mm zoom is admittedly too short for sports and wildlife snapping, which is a touch disappointing, but photo and video quality is spotless. 4K video is crystal clear and photos retain impressive amounts of detail even in poor lighting conditions.

If you want a superlative camera that you can pop in a pocket, then the Sony is well worth considering – but with highly capable rivals such as the Canon PowerShot G7 X II costing substantially less, we’d think long and hard before taking the plunge.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 20 megapixels, Sensor size: 13.2×8.8mm (1in), Viewfinder: Electronic (2.4 million dots), LCD screen: 3in (1,228,800 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): 2.9x (24-70mm), 35mm-equivalent aperture: f/4.9-7.6, Weight: 298g, Dimensions (HxWxD): 60x104x41mm

5. Fujifilm X-T10: Superb photos, but video isn’t so great

Price when reviewed: £595

With retro designs and hands-on controls for enthusiasts, Fujifilm’s X-series cameras have built a solid following, mainly those who fondly remember the days of film cameras. it doesn’t matter if you like the look though as the cameras also have stunning image quality for their price, and the Fujifilm X-T10 is no exception.

This is the cheaper model in the current range, so there’s no metal body or weather-proofing here. You do still get plenty of dials and switches to play with, great ergonomic design and a well-thought-out control system. Still image quality is stunning, among the best you’ll see from an APS-C based CSC. Video isn’t its strongest point though and neither is raw speed, but pictures look great. At this price it’s something of a bargain, shooting pictures just like cameras twice the price.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 16 megapixels, Sensor size: 23.6×15.6mm (APS-C), Focal length multiplier: 1.5x,Viewfinder: Electronic (2,360,000 dots), LCD screen: 3in (920,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): 3.1x (24-75mm),35mm-equivalent aperture: f/5.2-8.4, Lens mount: Fujifilm X Mount, Weight: 576g, Size (HxWxD): 85x130x116mm

6. Panasonic G80: The best CSC under £1,000… for now

Price when reviewed: £799

Panasonic has taken its brilliant G7 and pushed it to new heights – the G80 adds a weather-sealed body, bigger viewfinder, sensor-shift stabilisation and a posher kit lens. The £799 price is pretty reasonable by CSC standards and places it squarely between entry-level models such as the Canon EOS M3 and premium-priced cameras such as the Fujifilm X-T2, but the impressive thing is that it performs more like Fujifilm’s high-end rival in most respects. The G80’s performance, handling, features and range of controls are all top-notch, and its video performance is better than pretty much anything out there. Fujifilm’s X-T20 may yet knock it off its perch, but for now the G80 is flying high.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 16 megapixels, Sensor size: 17.3x13mm (Micro Four Thirds), Focal length multiplier: 2x, Viewfinder: Electronic (2,360,000 dots), LCD screen: 3in (1,040,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): 5x (24-120mm), 35mm-equivalent aperture: f/7-11.2, Lens mount: Micro Four Thirds, Weight: 715g, Size (HxWxD): 79x137x130mm

7. Canon EOS 750D: A great mid-range DSLR

Price when reviewed: £617

The new Canon EOS 750D eschews fancy features to concentrate on what’s truly important from a camera – consistent image quality. Images from its new 24-megapixel sensor are consistently brilliant, with the camera’s new metering system providing enviable results in practically any conditions -measuring the brightness across the frame at 7,560 points, with 19 autofocus points.

It’s got a great liveview mode too, handy for those making the leap from compact cameras or smartphones, with responsive subject tracking for sharp shots of moving subjects. It also comes with built-in Wi-Fi and NFC to make sharing photos easier via your smartphone. It’s the perfect SLR for those buying their first one or upgrading from an older model.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 24 megapixels, Sensor size: 22x15mm (APS-C) Focal length multiplier: 1.6x, Viewfinder: Optical, LCD screen: 3in (1,040,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): N/A, Lens mount: EF-Mount, Weight: 771g (body-only), Size (HxWxD): 104x132x148mm

8. Nikon D610: A superb full-frame DSLR

Price when reviewed: £1,449

Full-frame photography took a price crash last year, with both Canon and Nikon selling such cameras for around £1,500 for the first time. We preferred the Nikon D600 over its Canon rival, but then it started to suffer problems with dirt on the sensor. Now the problem wasn’t critical but it did through a spanner in the works of a great camera.

So now we have the D610, essentially the same camera but with the problem well and truly fixed. There have been a number of other minor tweaks, notably faster continuous shooting of 6fps, up from 5.5fps, and a new quiet continuous mode at 3fps.

Most things stay the same then, but that’s not a problem. Image quality is sublime, with colours that both sizzle and subtly recreate skin tones with ease. There’s barely any noise, even at high ISO speeds. There are all the controls you need and this should be high on your list if you’re serious about buying a DSLR.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 24.2 megapixels, Sensor size: 35.9x24mm, Focal length multiplier: 1x, Viewfinder: Optical TTL, LCD screen: 3.2in (921,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): , 35mm-equivalent aperture: , Lens mount: Nikon F, Weight: 850g, Size (HxWxD): 113x141x82mm

9. Canon EOS 70D: An ideal DSLR for enthusiasts

Price when reviewed: £999

The Canon EOS 70D is the new top-end model in Canon’s APS-C range, so if you’re looking for a great DSLR but aren’t ready to move to professional-class full frame cameras then this is a good choice. It’s extremely consistent with features, image and video quality all impressing. It has a new sensor-based autofocus which makes it far easier to use in live view (and for video) plus an articulated screen for shooting at unusual angles.

The new sensor has 20 megapixels, automatic exposures were brilliantly judged and the details were precise. Noise levels were low up to ISO 5000, but it’s not the best performer in this area admittedly. The consistency of the images it produces is the real highlight here, plus its flexibility as both a stills and video capture device. It’s our narrow favourite though pure photographers should seriously consider the Nikon D7100 as well.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 20 megapixels, Sensor size: 22x15mm (APS-C) Focal length multiplier: 1.62x, Viewfinder: Optical, LCD screen: 3in (1,040,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): N/A, Lens mount: EF-Mount, Weight: 755g (body-only), Size (HxWxD): 104x139x79mm

10. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4: The best CSC for 4K video

Price when reviewed: £1,299

The GH series has long stood out among CSCs. Rather than use a mirrorless design to simply reduce the size of the device, Panasonic has concentrated on the technology’s leaning toward video capture. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 then builds upon its predecessors’ reputation for excellent video quality and features with support for 4K footage, which looks stunning.

Even if you’re not yet in a position to enjoy such video, shooting in 4K has its advantages. When you downsample 4K footage to Full HD the new camera is capable of twice the colour resolution of previous efforts. Shooting this way also lets you crop into the frame in editing without a big noticeable loss in quality. There’s loads of video quality options, mic inputs and outputs, and uncompressed video can be streamed from the HDMI port.

As a camera, it’s also impressive, though you’ll find better examples at this price admittedly. Still it keeps up with most CSCs and image quality is solid and consistent rather than outstanding. For video though it has no peers given its price and portability, so if you’re a video enthusiast looking for a new camera, look no further.

Key specs – Sensor resolution: 15.9 megapixels, Sensor size: 17.3x13mm (Micro Four Thirds) Focal length multiplier: 2x, Viewfinder: Electronic, LCD screen: 3in (1,036,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): N/A, Lens mount: Micro Four Thirds, Weight: 560g, Size (HxWxD): 95x144x84mm
