The best system cameras. Top mirror-free cameras

Today, the demand among fans of photographs use the devices with the possibility of changing the lens. In a fairly wide assortment of popular models, it is easy to get confused, so this article has a rating of the best cameras with interchangeable optics.

The specifics of these devices lies in the absence of locking mirrors and viewfinder optical type. The second dignity of these devices, which also distinguishes them from mirror "relatives" - compactness and lightness.

For an ardent lover photo, the practicality of the model is one of the most important factors. In the event that you have to "click" everything in the world, it is easy to figure out, easy enough. In any case, first of all it is necessary to designate the budget and find a store where it is profitable to buy the camera liked.

For newcomers, the device of various manufacturers from the technological characteristics differ not critically. Reliable cameras are released as the best manufacturers:

• Canon;
• Fujifilm;
• OLYMPUS;

so less recognized companies

• Panasonic;
• Samsung;
• Sony.

Part of trademarks whose popularity of whose models took off "to heaven" last year, today rapidly lose leadership positions. In this regard, now few people buys productive cameras Praktica, Kodak or Polaroid. Small cameras from Casio, by the way, are also not in demand now.

It is difficult to call a good acquisition and non-core "digurities" from General Electric or Hewlett Packard. And inexpensive for the price of the apparatuses from Rekam and the rest of manufacturers will not be equal even with integrated smartphone cameras.

What to expect from models at an affordable price?

From gadgets in the middle price segment it is worth expecting: excellent picture and rollers, exact digital and viewfinder, reprogrammed keys and discs for controlling the parameters of the device. And a large assortment of lenses for professional shooting, covering all the important distances of the focus (from the eye of the fish to supersum).

The rest of the opportunities that are nice to find in the device are stabilization of the picture, integrated into the shell (in this case, photographers make no sense to worry about the presence of stabilization in the lens).

Create auxiliary keys and discs (there are never enough), an integrated block with Wi-Fi for a wireless connection, as well as a multitouch display to simplify the menu navigation. Well, if the model is with a turning screen and a rather practical shell so that it can be worn with you.

Quality Camera Rating with Replacement Optics

For beginners whose requests differ from ordinary users, you need to think about the following. Those who are in search of practicality, but do not want to be limited to only one optics, are suitable for the use of "digital" with interchangeable lenses.

If a person loves "Picture" from a long distance, it will be advisable to buy a practical gadget with a wide range of optics focus. For a traveler, a hunter, and an ordinary beach holiday amateur will be a good acquisition of the All-season "digital" operating in extreme conditions. Select the device for any listed goals will help this top of the best cameras with replaceable optics.

"10th place: Canon EOS M10 Kit"

Insufficient number of control elements compensates for a rotating multitouch screen.

At the same time, in the gadget of the mirror-free type, there is everything you need to comprehend the basics of photographic skill, up to the manual configurations of excerpts, lights and formats of type RAW. In addition, the model will become a good solution for video in the amateur level. And the ability to change optics will only increase creative ideas and internal potential for profile growth.

From the shortcomings, buyers allocate uncomfortable grip, weakly thoughtful ergonomics and low-quality automatic focus with poor lighting. But for such a price, the error data is easy to forgive. In general, this model will be a good purchase for newcomers, dreaming of knowing the foundations of photographic art, but not yet ready to buy overall mirror devices.

"7th place: Panasonic Lumix G5"

The ranking of the best continues the camera of the Panasonic brand. No more than 4 years ago, the light saw the first gadget of this series - model G1. Then the possibilities of the device were at a decent level, and the device itself became popular among beginner and advanced photographers.

It is interesting, but after the release of G3, G5 immediately followed, and the G4 model was not released under superstitious reasons.

This camera is equipped with a Live MOS type matrix, which is made according to the Micro Four Thirds standard. In this case, photograph resolution reaches 4592x3448 px. The camera has a chip of the innovative generation type Venus Engine 7 with Full HD, improved speed and functionality.

"6th place: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80"

Pretty overall and heavy mirror-type gadget. The mass of 453 grams is caused by the presence of protection against moisture. If you use proper optics, it makes no sense to worry about shooting even in a shower.

Like the remaining system devices from Panasonic, this model is equipped with a 4/3 matrix format. Simply put, it is 2 times less than a photographic film of 35 mm. Because of this, the sensor is equipped with only 16 MP permit. But under the shell, the place was allocated for the execution of the stabilization of the optical type.

Rear the device has a rotary multitouch screen. By the way, the model is "not afraid of" the bright sun, as it comes with an electronic viewfinder, which consists of 2.36 million pixels.

At this "fotik" really to make very high-quality rollers, including the resolution of 4k. The image is displayed in real time on the phone, because the Wi-Fi developers also put the developers.

In serial mode, the gadget "clicks" only 9 pictures. But this series is capable of lasting for a long time - the limit for RAW is 45, and for JPEG 300 frames. By the way, the camera is able to not justify the expectations of the owners of the opposite lenses. The fact is that the shutter is available on 1/4000 p.

First of all, do not forget that Olympus is known for its own lenses (since it is one of the general leaders in the manufacture of endoscopes and microscopes) and moisture-proof cameras. The best projects firm implemented in this novelty, refusing the manufacture of mirror-type devices.

Despite the fact that the design model is extremely similar to everyone known "Zenit", its "iron" is very innovative and completely unreliable: electronic type viewfinder. The matrix does not differ in high MP (16.1 million efficient), but has quite large sizes (Crop Factor 2), which gives a good image, even if you use whale optics on the Micro 4/3 connection.

The advantages of the gadget allocate the presence of stabilization of the picture both software and optical type. The model is equipped with a turning screen, which makes it possible to make stunning frames even from the most awkward positions. Instant Automatic focus will be useful during the shooting of the "Offhdka", and the option of forced autofocus is intuitive - you just need to touch the multitouch display.

The model is very similar to the sixth and seventh NEX, although it is not fulfilled according to the "VIP" standards of the seventh "nex". In any case, this device at first glance sifts doubts about the reliability of assembly and execution. Yes, it is not the most tiny of digital system of system type with replaceable optics, but extremely stylish, practical and convenient.

With small whale optics, which comes in the kit, the user can easily accommodate the device in the jacket pocket. Like the predecessor devices, this is equipped with an inclined liquid crystal screen and electronic type viewfinder (EVF) for comfortable crop.

To the joy of fans, the Sony brand was able to achieve substantial development in the comfort of use, if compared with the same NEX. An innovative and efficient menu system appeared and, in the end, the ability to save and activate user parameters.

• Aggressive default color noise reduction;
• After suppressing noise on high ISO in JPEG format, some zones of the picture look "too handled";
• A rather weak integrated flash.

The average price is 50,000 rubles.

"3rd place: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Body"

This model has become the first mirror-type chamber that leads the rollers in the 4K format. She was published in 2014, but to this day it takes leadership positions in the rating of high-quality cameras.

It is worth noting that the pluses of the camera will appreciate the most likely not the photographers, but videographers. Mass of manual configurations, to surprise a large bitrate and shooting in 4K format. Replaceable lenses make it possible to reveal the creative potential and start experimenting, and the innovative electronic component guarantees high quality. Image details are comparable to video cameras for professionals.

• There is a Wi-Fi block.

Disadvantages:

• No stabilization of the picture;
• Weak dustproof.

The average price is 500,000 rubles.

"1st place: Canon EOS M5"

Of all the mirror-free devices, this gadget is most like an analogue of the mirror apparatus. The appearance is made in the best customs of the Canon brand: smooth bends, the absence of pointed angles, the natural combination of glossy and matte colors. The form of the device was performed according to all the wishes of the photographer, it is comfortable to wrap with one hand.

Multitouch Display Model makes it possible to switch and designate the focus point, and also use the entire functionality of the main menu. On multitouch, the CMOS display can only be used by a specific area. This option does not allow you to activate the sensor randomly.

Effective resolution is 24.2 megapixel, which makes it possible to increase frame detail to an incredible degree. Shooting speed - 7 k / s. Digital roller format - MP4, that many experts attributed to the shortcomings of this model, since all innovative cameras of this year traditionally write video in 4k or FHD format.

The average price is 110,000 rubles.

Criterias of choice

If the user is ready to invest approximately 66,000 rubles on a firecall-type camera, then for him, most likely, the quality of the picture plays a significant role. Another person, most likely, worked with a manual either a semi-automatic shooting regime and tries to find that it will not limit his creative borders and provides an opportunity to improve its own experience in the art of photography.

If the user is a novice in the field of photographic art, which is sure that it will later become his passion for a long time, then 66,000 rubles are not such a large amount for the contribution to a reliable and wear-resistant device (and optics serving longer than the shell of the camera itself) .

The user as appreciates the improved functionality as a viewfinder role, special external components of control and manual exposure configuration. But if a person is not convinced that he needs it, or just wants to easily shoot good footage, it will be advisable to buy something budget. For example, a camera-free camera from the average price segment or a practical chamber at a cost of 33,000 rubles with replaceable optics.

Compact apparatus with interchangeable optics or, as they are also called, the mudflower - a relatively new type of camera appeared about 5 years ago. I remember that in the early 2000s, when the first available digits, the people in the forums dreamed of the "ideal" camera - the size of the middle soap is, but with the quality of the picture like a mirror. In those days, such an apparatus looked a non-abundant dream, since the element base did not allow to do something like that - large-scale matrices consumed a large amount of electricity, had a tendency to heat, and, as a result, the level of noise. Nevertheless, the technologies developed, the element base was updated and in 2005 the first mirrorless camera with the APS-C matrix - Sony Cybershot R1 appeared.

Sony Cybershot R1

The camera did not cause a large rift in the market, as there were many controversial moments - immodest dimensions, unmanned optics, low serial shooting speed (especially in RAW), "inertia" of the viewfinder and LCD screen, slow autofocus and something else little things. Nevertheless, the device was in some way revolutionary - it was the first mourner. Time went, the technologies were improved. Since then, the lamellar has passed a fairly big way in development, got rid of many childhood diseases. Sony R1 the reason for many problems was a weak processor.

Processors of modern devices are repeatedly superior to its speed. For some speed characteristics, for example, serial shooting speeds, frame rate When shooting a video FullHD Modern mudflower seriously ahead of mirror cameras. For example, serial shooting speed at Sony NEX-6 muddler is 10 frames per second! Most sirrals have a serial shooting speed at least twice as slower.

Below I will give a brief description of the platforms and the approximate cost of ownership of professional (or approximate to it) a set of techniques of this platform. Under a professional kit implies the following:

• "Top" carcass
• Light zoom (in equivalent 24-70 mm / 2.8) - We try to consider the most favorable options when such a lens comes with a carcass
• High-tech television (70-200 mm / 2.8)
• Portrait lenses (fixes 85, 135 mm)

Micro 4/3.

Micro 4/3 platform promote two brands - Olympus and Panasonic, and for a long time. An interesting feature is complete compatibility. The same lens will be wonderful and with Olympus and Panasonic.

Micro 4/3 family devices

The devices themselves have a large variation in price. The cheapest cost about 20 thousand rubles, the most expensive - up to 100 thousand rubles and more (among them there are dust-resistant models, as well as advanced accessories kits). The quality of photos is significantly better than that of soaps, but most of the APS-C matrix does not reach the devices (not to mention the full frame). Micro 4/3 system currently has one important dignity.

Since from the moment of the appearance of the first devices of this system has passed for several years, there are many different accessories - lenses, outbreaks. The lenses overlap focal lengths from 14 to 300 mm (in the "film" equivalent), which is sufficient to meet the requests of the overwhelming majority of photographers. At the cost of the lenses of the Micro 4/3 system are comparable to lenses for the mirrors - from 8 to 60 thousand rubles.

The cost of the top-end equipment of the Olympus is:

Widget from Socialmart.

As of November 2018, the approximate cost of such a kit will be 260 thousand rubles. Panasonic prices are about the same.

Despite the seemingly "similarity" cameras Olympus and Panasonic, yet there are differences between them. I have a personal experience with these cameras and I can say about them as follows:

• Olympus cameras are more "artistic" in terms of photo, mainly due to the interesting and slightly unusual color reproduction that gives warmth. Having raised landscapes to the Olympus, I literally fell in love with his picture. But in the portrait, he is constantly trying to leave in red, especially when you try to take pictures in the evening light.
• Panasonic color rendition is more restrained and neutral, it may even seem boring. But in modern cameras, the matrix does not have a low-pass filter - it makes it possible to get a more detailed picture. Even on a whale lens, the sharpness is impressive. The Panasonic will also be more accurate in terms of video.

Lessel Sony

Sony cameras Some of the first came to the mirrorless niche and firmly fixed in it. The model range is currently present both relatively inexpensive amateur chambers with the APS-C matrix and professional full-frame system chambers.

Mesman Sony Nex

The main advantages of Sony's system cameras can be called a high-quality picture, due to a wide dynamic range (especially in full frame), convenient and logical control. Full-frame chambers have a very high resolution matrix - for example, Sony A7 Mark III has as many as 44 megapixels. The Sony A7S mesmer will have permission from the full-frame matrix, all only 12 megapixels, but it simply has exceeding working ISO, thanks to which this carcass is very popular with professional videographers, since even with the worst lighting the noise level is minimal.

Naturally, among the mirrorless Sonek there are cameras easier - this is a family of 5000 (amateur series), 6000 (advanced amateur).

The main disadvantage of Sony's system chambers is a limited amount of high-quality optics and its high cost.

Widget from Socialmart.

As can be seen from the price tags, the ownership of the top set Sony - the pleasure is not cheap! At the prices of November 2018, the set value is easily over 600 thousand rubles (compare with the prices of the Olympus :). For this money, you can a miracle of the Russian car industry - the car Lada Vesta (link to my second site) :)

Naturally, to compare Sony's full-frame cameras with "twice-screen" olimpus incorrectly, but in general, the Sony E platform is 1.5-2 more expensive than Micro 4/3. If for professionals this is a means of manufacture, attachments in which pay off, then for lovers - a big reason to think about, because the quality of the picture from amateur Sony and Olympus / Panasonic cameras are almost the same.

Fujifilm mesmer

Separate mention deserve Fujifilm cameras. A distinctive feature of these cameras is a X-TRANS matrix with a high working ISO and ensures high detail of the picture.

I had a little experience in shooting fujifilm and to say the following about them. To feel with this camera "in its plate" you need to have experience photography. These cameras are not for beginners - there are many controls, in which it is easy to get confused without knowledge. What is worth four (!) Cruiths and several lever on the top panel:

But those who do not frighten the words exposure, exposure, exposure, aperture, find Fujifilm control is very convenient and logical.

The advantages of Fujifilm in addition to high quality images can be attributed to the sale of a large number of high-quality optics. For the most part, these are high-end lenses with a fixed focal length, which once again confirms the fujifilm focus primarily on experienced photographers. Judging by the video on YouTube there is a lot of professional photographers who switched from the Canon and Nikon Slirlock on Fujifilm chamber and did not regret it.

Widget from Socialmart.

The total cost of the kit is obtained in the area of \u200b\u200b300 thousand. In this regard, Fujifilm is not much more expensive than Micro 4/3, but noticeably cheaper Sony E. This makes the Fujifilm platform very interesting and attractive for professional photographers. Crop-factor 1.5 to some extent compensated for greater threaded lenses. For example, a regular lens with which the top carcass X-T2 is sold is portrait Fix 56 / 1.2. Lights - one and two! In terms of the flu, it turns out "full-frame" 1.8, that is, a big difference in the blurring of the background with full-frame 85 / 1.8 no one will notice.

You can of course endlessly arguing about the real focal length and transmission of perspectives, carry out laboratory experiments and shooting in ideal conditions to see the difference between the real and equivalent focusing distance, but in real conditions this difference is simply visible. Then why pay more? Is that for perfectionism ... (personally my opinion!)

Firemaker Canon.

Canon "Pretched" the exit time to the niche of system cameras and still retains the status of "catching up". And he chased, apparently, for Sony, that is, behind the leader. Certificate of this is the recent appearance of CANON EOS Rammaker's full-frame

The camera is promising, even in something and inferior to the last Sony A7R Mark III, nevertheless bribes full compatibility with Canon EF, EF-S optics (via the adapter). Native Bayonet - Canon RF. The resolution of the matrix of 30 megapixels. When using sprinkled optics, only the central part of the matrix and the resolution of the picture drops to 11.6 megapixels. If you collect a working kit on the basis of this platform, the alignment is as follows:

Widget from Socialmart.

The approximate price tag of the kit is 450 thousand rubles, that is, somewhere 1.5 times cheaper than on the basis of Sony E-Mount. Moreover, the optics included in the kit is the most "top", except, except that the whale lens is 24-105 / 4L. So, if you have a set of optics and accessories Canon, but before recently "lied" to the Sony full-frame mammaker, now it is not bad to reconsider their attitude to this issue. Although I would wait for the advent of Canon Eos R Mark II - for sure, the first model has some kind of children's sores that will be corrected in the second version of the chamber. Plus, the price tag for the first version will become more humane.

Naturally, among Canon's Magniflower There are those who are focused on the amateur segment are Canon Eos M Cameras. Now there are already many different modifications. The M5 family looks like the presence of an electronic viewfinder, but they are not suiced. Basically, they compete with SONY families A5000, A6000. Personally, my opinion is the choice between Sony and Canon rather not comparing the technical characteristics (they are comparable), and subjective personal preferences. In favor of Sony, they say the best videos (the presence of 4K and a large frame rate in FullHD), faster serial shooting. Canon takes care of the first price, secondly, a large number of lenses, including mirroring.

Magnifier Nikon.

Nikon 1.

Nikon at one time promoted his platform Nikon 1. These were compact amateur magicons, having a matrix with Crop-factor 2.7.

Apparatus Nikon J1.

According to the functionality, these cameras differ little from amateur soaps, the main emphasis was made on autorem. The picture quality is comparable to top soaps.

I had the opportunity to shoot the Nikon J1 apparatus - for amateur level the result is quite acceptable. The device was well focused on home lighting, the photos obtained a balanced tone with an acceptable noise level. The maximum working ISO is about 1000 units.

Disadvantages - a limited set of settings, a small selection of optics and the expansion of its assortment is not planned, since Nikon has rolled the production of this line.

Nikon Z.

This is the second attempt by Nikon to conquer the mudflower market, but not in amateur, but in a professional segment.

Nikon Z6 and Z7 cameras are released relatively recently and the information on them is a bit. Apparently, this is another Sony A7 and A9 competitor. If you look at the characteristics, the first thing that rushes into the eye is the presence of a full-frame sensor with a resolution of 24.4 and 45.7 megapixels (Z6 and Z7), respectively. The cost of carcasses While the near-mosquito, a set of native optics is small, but via the adapter can be installed any Nikon lens.

Did not bring competition

There are manufacturers of the "first echelon", which also tried to produce a messmaker and did it quite successfully, but they didn't have enough strength to deal with those who entered this niche first - Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm.

Pentax

I must say, the Pentax cameras are not the most popular in our country, perhaps this and played the role of the failure of their firewalls in the market. And the attempts were as two.

Pentax Q.

These are the smallest and compact devices, have a matrix "soap" format 1 / 2.3 ". Accordingly, the crop factor is 5.6.

Machine Pentax family Q

A distinctive feature of this Pentax line is an exceptional compactness for which the quality of photogrophy has to be sacrificed (it is like soouts). Even these devices have several interesting features. For example, the shutter is embedded not in the device itself, but in the lens. Pentax Q cameras have an image stabilization system with a movable matrix. The advantage of these devices compared to traditional soapboxes is a light whalemic lens 8.5mm F / 1.9 (in terms of full frame, 47 mm is obtained, the flu is like F / 11).

Perhaps these cameras are still sold on the secondary, but I do not see any sense in buying them. Just as an image toy ... The optics of the Pentax Q system Q is expensive, the choice is very limited. In addition to two zooms (5-15 mm, 15-45 mm), lenses with a fixed focal length prevail in the ruler. Personally my opinion - for the price is toys better buy a normal smartphone, it will be more sensible :)

Pentax K.

This family is presented until only one model K-01. A distinctive feature of this device is complete compatibility with the optics from the mirlock by saving the working segment - the distance from the rear edge of the lens to the matrix. On the one hand, this is a big plus if you have a Pentax Slir with Optics Park - all these lenses will work on K-01 without any adapters.

But there is a minus - the dimensions of the camera. This is a brick! Probably, this is the most teasing mirror of existing ones. Pentax K-01 has an APS-C format matrix, which provides it with the quality of the picture like a mirror. This device makes sense to buy if you are either a big fan of the brand, or you have a pile of Pentax glasses and you do not know which pile can be used.

Start your photo card with this chamber is definitely not worth it! :)

What to pay attention to when choosing a system camera?

About the mirror of which manufacturers can now buy in stores we found out. It remains to find out what characteristics it is worth paying special attention.

1. Dimensions, Weight, Control

As mentioned above, it is the strongest side of the system chambers compared to the mirrors. On the one hand, a small weight and size is a dignity, but before fanaticism, when choosing, it is not worth the cost, since there is such a concept as ergonomics - the convenience of the camera in the work. If you plan to shoot only in automatic mode, there are no questions - only the descent button is needed from the controls. But if creative shooting plans, the camera must have a physical disk of the mode selection (P-A-S-M) so as not to climb each time in the menu and 1 or 2 control disk setting the shooting parameters.

How many disks are better - 1 or 2? One disk is quite enough if you are removed in P, A, S modes. In this case, one parameter is set to manually - the exposure level, aperture or shutter speed (respectively). But if you prefer a manual mode, I strongly advise you to search for a variant with two controls - one is responsible for the exposure, the other is for the diaphragm. Such cameras are more expensive, but it is much more convenient to work with them - it is to work, and not click left-to-right :) Some models of the lamellar have a third disk - manual exploration. It can also be useful in some cases, but it is not necessary to specifically overpay.

Another small dimensions of the chamber as a rule entail another nuisance - the low battery capacity. The filling of the pocket chamber is exactly the same as in a larger size, respectively, the energy consumption is the same. But in a large chamber there is a place for a capacious battery, it is very limited in compact.

2. Availability of the viewfinder

The overwhelming majority of camera chambers above average have an electronic viewfinder (EVI), and often this is the only serious difference from models that are 20-30% cheaper. Is it worth this money?

Manufacturers and marketers unequivocally position Evi as "a great remedy for shooting on a bright sun, because it is almost impossible to consider the picture on the screen." Is it so?

Let's start with the fact that not all cameras have an electronic viewfinder really helps when shooting. Even now, not all of the Allmaker Evi works without delay - even though the share of a second, but it is. The size of the picture in the viewfinder also does not always make it possible to fully use it for manual focus. But still, Evi is really more convenient when shooting on a bright sun than a screen subject to illumination. However, in the absence of Evi, it is quite possible to set the exposure "on the instruments" - histogram or lighting light / shadows.

Evie still has a feature - it is faster than a battery than a normal screen. Not much, but faster. It would seem paradox! Explanation Simple - EVI resolution is usually higher than that of the rear screen of the camera, respectively, requires a larger current to power.

Of all this we can conclude that Evi is really a useful thing, but only for more or less professional application of the chamber. At the same time, it should be large and informative. For amateur use, the electronic viewfinder is completely optional.

3. Rotary / Touch Screen

These are really valuable options. The touch screen allows you to specify the focus point simply by pressing your finger into the object on the screen. Camera can be configured that it will automatically make a frame when it will appear in the selected area. It is extremely convenient when shooting from a tripod - no need to move the focus frame with arrows, just touch the screen in the right place. When video filming, the focus on touch allows you to smoothly translate the focus from one plan to another - also a valuable option.

The rotary screen provides convenience when shooting with unusual angles. It was a swivel screen that I was missing in my past chamber (Olympus E-PM2) that when selecting the next craftswoman, I preferred the model with a rotary touch screen.

The rotary screen may have a different number of degrees of freedom. One cameras can only tilt up and down, others - turn 180 degrees to shoot a selfie photo and self-video. The choice is defined only by your requests.

4. Connecting external accessories

This is a flash, microphone, enlarged viewfinder, battery pack, syncone, etc. For amateur shooting, this is not needed at all. If you plan to use the chamber for a more or less serious video shooting, I strongly recommend paying attention to the presence of a hot shoe (you can install a video device and an external microphone) and the possibility of connecting the battery pack - when shooting a video, a regular battery sits very quickly.

5. Camera and recharging

Battery capacity is an important parameter, but the economy of the camera is more important. On the batteries of the same capacity, different cameras can make a different number of pictures, and the trend is such that modern models are more economical in terms of energy consumption. The average number of pictures on one charging specified in the characteristics of the chambers is 300-400. In practice, this number is usually more.

As for the battery charging, two options are possible - charging inside the chamber and charging an external charger. And the other way has its pros and cons.

Outdoor charging is more convenient if the scope of filming is not very big (typical amateur use), in this case you will not need to carry a bulky charger, most modern cameras can charge from USB - from a mobile phone charger, from a USB port in the car and etc. That is, if you do not shoot the footage of thousands and do not give up for a long time from civilization (or at least a car), internal charging is one solid convenience. But with large volumes of shooting, it looks more preferable to use an external charger and multiple batteries. It is important to clarify whether non-original batteries are on sale and whether the camera can work with them. It happens that the original accumulators chipped and the use of Chinese non-original with Aliexpress is not possible - the camera refuses to recognize it. In some cases, it is treated with the camera firmware, but it is to some extent a risky process. It is necessary for you or not - it is better to solve at the stage of choosing the camera, what to face this when the train has already left.

About reviews about system chambers on the Internet

Why reviews about firecrackers So contradictory? Do these devices differ so much from each other? Or the quality of the assembly is unstable? Never. If you read carefully, you can highlight two groups of users who write reviews that are contrary to each other.

Group 1. Former owners of soap

This group is very numerous, which people represent people who do not "take pictures", and "photo" is all in a row - at home, at work, at the cottage, on a walk, travel. Previously, they had a soap wash, which either was either broken and they decided - "Why will I buy this huge sir of when there are devices that ensure the same quality of photos, but much more compact?". They buy a messmaker and their choice, in fact, very wise. For amateur Photos of the Mescard - the fact that the doctor prescribed! As a rule, they are noticeably superior to their former soaps in the speed of work, remarkably removed on the machine, have a bunch of "enhancements" of the pictures like the correction of chromatic aberrations, removal of distortion and other things - this makes it not even thinking about RAW format. These people write 90% of enthusiastic reviews of these devices, and this is about many things. If you belong to this group (there is nothing wrong with that!), Then the mesmer will be the optimal choice for you - you shoot like a soapbox, you get the quality like a mirror, and this is not a hoax. You will shoot and enjoy!

Group 2. Former owners of the SLR

As a rule, these are people who are tired of carrying a heavy mirror with them everywhere and they acquire a mirror-free compact for these purposes. Everything is not so unequivocal here, because, the requirements for messmakers are presented, often overshadowed. Although the quality of the picture in the model and the messroom comparable is comparable, the removal process itself is different. In many ways, the negative is due to the fact that people simply are simply not used to shoot on the messmaker. This is a temporary phenomenon. I also initially experienced inconvenience when I bought my Olympus Pen, but the time passed and now I find the shooting on a compact messmaker (which with unaccustomed "dropped out of the hands" after Canon EOS 5D), quite comfortable. The former owners of the Slirlock, who swallowed on the mirrorless compacts complain about those or other of their features, but almost every "complaint" there is some compromise counterproof "But ..." or "Although ..."

• Fast battery discharge. If the serrinka charged once the battery charged and enough for a week enough surveys, the mesmer will have to charge more often. Although, For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that the majority of the messmaker on one battery charging can be made 300-400 frames, and this is not so bad.
• Slower autofocus. The mudflower uses a contrasting focus, which works well only with good illumination and is comparable in speed with a phase autofocus of the mirror. However, with a weaker lighting, the contrasting focus works less confident. But Lumarters are not a knowledge of such a problem as front / backfocus.
• Many functions are stubborn in the menu. If you take off mostly in autorem, it is not a significant drawback, but if you often use manual settings, the need to constantly climb into some menu annoying. AlthoughAlmost always, the mesmer has a function buttons to which you can assign the most frequently used features.
• Touch screen many uncomfortable - When you need, it does not work from the first time, when it is not necessary, some menu crashes from accidental pressing. But On the touch screen it is convenient to choose the focus object. In the end, touch control can be disabled.
• Whale optics It does not always provide the level of quality that expects from it (however, the sirlock is the same problem). When shooting at JPEG, the camera has the ability to programmatically correct some drawbacks, but when shooting in the RAW, the picture is preserved "as is" and its quality can be a matter of disappointment. Of course, the RAW converter solves the task of correcting the shortcomings, but with a large number of files being processed, it is a fairly tedious and routine task.
• Optics for messmaker too expensive. Yes, the price tag on the lenses for the maritime cards at least 4 times 1.5 is higher than on similar lenses for the mirror. But do not forget that this optics is much easier and more compact (under the carcass). Personally, I appreciated it on trips and hiking - instead of a traditional backpack with a mirror, my shoulder had a small and lightweight bag. After several long walks, I really appreciated the convenience that the compact and lightweight technique gives. The high cost of accessories is the payment for convenience. I do not know how you, but I'm ready to pay for it.

Of all this we can conclude that at the present stage of the development of the mirror, there is a fairly large niche between advanced soaps and class mirrors above average. Former owners of soaps are increasingly preferred by mirrorless devices. The owners of the Slirlok are in no hurry to part with their kind as "morally outdated", but at the same time quite functional devices. Most often, the messmaker they buy as a "second apparatus" for a constant draining with them - a compact, who knows how to make high-quality photos not only on the street, but also indoors without an outbreak. As a lens, the "pancake" is often acquired - a small lens with a fixed focal length lens (usually wide-angle). With it, the device is placed if not in a pocket, then in a small belt bag.

So it's time to make some preliminary conclusions

In the foreseeable future, the moment will come when the mesmer will be supplanted with mirror devices from an amateur niche. Here are the main reasons that have already provided this class of devices mass recognition.

1. Lumperboard is more convenient for the "average" user. Not all lovers need instant access to some sophisticated features and settings. The basic minimum buttons have almost all the lamellar - white balance, exposure, flash control, self-timer. There are still buttons for which you can assign custom functions. The rest is available through the menu. More, in general, not required. The fuser displays a photo even before shooting, and immediately with a histogram, giving the opportunity to enter the amendments in advance. In the model it is available via LiveView, but this mode itself turns the mirror in itself. Moreover, most often, in a slow messmaker.
2. More simple shutter design - And this simplification and reduction of the design, and at the same time an increase in the resource of the device - there is almost nothing to break).
3. Contrast autofocuswhich first devices were slow, now at speed approached the phase autofocus of the mirror (at least with good lighting). Models with hybrid autofocus appeared, for example, Canon Eos M - there is also a contrast and phase focus, and all this works with quite a decent speed comparable to the veloclock velocus speed. I am sure that in the year of the year the lamellar will learn to quickly focus and with poor lighting.
4. New optics initially "sharpened" under the videoThat allows you to use autofocus without problems while shooting video. The mirlock can boast a few models units, although in the future their list will be replenished.
5. No need to provide Back compatibility New optics with old carcasses. Many optical flaws (aberrations, lens distortion) can be programmatically corrected by the built-in camera software - the performance of modern processors allows you to do it on the fly. This will reduce the main lenses and not think about whether "and how does this lens show itself on the 2004 exercise car?" The mirrorless system is created with a "clean sheet", taking into account modern technical achievements without regard to the old "trash", with which theoretically, you can use this lens and you need to ensure that everything worked well.
6. Question of use of the flash Very relevant with amateur shooting. Some messengers have no built-in flash, but in the kit there is a small external - forced measure to reduce the size of the device. Despite the visible inconvenience to use, there is nothing terrible in this. The flash in the folded state is completely compact and does not greatly increase the dimensions of the camera. If it is not needed at the moment, it can be kept in a small pocket of photosums.

Of course, it is not so smooth in the "mirrorless" segment so smoothly, in particular in the field of optics and accessories - the choice of lenses is still limited, though, all the most needed already have - full-time zums, telephoto lenses, fixes. I am confident that in the future these areas will develop and new interesting lenses will appear. There are adapters that allow the use of "mirror" optics on mirnets, but the focusing speed will be much lower than that of the model, since the old lenses are optimized for phase focus, and the mirrling can use contrasting. The cost of original adapters is most often overestimated, however, you can find non-original adapters that, with a much lower cost, will successfully perform the same tasks. More mamognal devices are popular among lovers of old non-autofocus optics. Thanks to the short working segment, these devices allow you to use lenses from old range rates through adapters, among which there are very interesting glass. On the mirrors, the use of this optics is difficult due to the inconsistency of working segments.

Look at the future. Crop is no longer a hindrance?

What kind of fate awaits amateur sprinkled sills, when system cameras are pressed on the one hand, on the other hand, a cheaper "full frame".

Olympus and Panasonic Completely closed the production of the mirrors and switched to system chambers (Micro 4/3), which entrenched in the initial and middle class, and also walked part of the professional segment at the giants of the Canon photo and Nikon. It is noteworthy that these devices are fully compatible among themselves in terms of accessories. There is also quite successful attempts to storm the premium segment - the cost of the OLYMPUS devices of the OM-D family is comparable to the cost of full-frame mirrors, while OM-D Crop Factor 2 has 2.

Between Olympus and Panasonic formed a sewn separation - the Olympus is more buying for a photo, a Panasonic for video. Although, it is clear that this separation is very conditionally - no one can prevent the owner of the Panasonic camera to make beautiful photos, and with an olimpaper to shoot a video :) 99% depends on the level of skill photo (video) of the graph.

In terms of dynamic range and ISO sensitivity - all this tends to improve. For example, the "twice-crop" Panasonic GX8 on the dynamic range exceeds the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mark III (Prouflink). The third chamber on the link - Panasonic G1 is one of the first lamellars. It is presented to show how far the Micro 4/3 cameras over the past 10 years.

Fujifilm.does not lag behind Micro 4/3, and in something even ahead of it - mainly due to the smaller crop factor and X-TRANS matrices with high sensitivity and high-quality color reproduction. Fujifilm cameras also attract their beautiful and solid appearance, a large number of customizable controls. This complicates the life of novice, but many pros are highly appreciated by Fuji ergonomics (although they are dissatisfied among them!). Fujifilm initially positions its products for advanced photoelers, otherwise the model range of optics would not be abounded by fixes that are so popular by the pro.

Sony Refused the shutter with a movable mirror, developing parallel two rules - with a translucent mirror and electronic Sony A viewfinder, and Sony E system chambers. Over time, I think the Sony A mirrows will disappear from the shelves. Full-frame mirror Sony A7 is the first swallow, which brought the messenger full frame into the folk masses. Now she has many different modifications, the full-frame optics appears slowly on sale, but prices are available for it, alas, not everyone.

Canon I went along the path similar to Sony, but I don't intend to refuse from the moving mirror yet. Confirmation of this is the simultaneous release of the mirror and the mirrlars with the same matrix, but different bayonets (EF-S and EF-M). The new models of EOS 650D, 700D are confused, compete with each other - one manufacturer, one class, the same matrix, very similar functionality, but different bayonettes. Especially heated Interest Technology STM - Stepper Autofocus for LiveView mode and video filming in the model, finally equalizing the main functions of a 650D SLR with an EOS M compact, . Also recently there was a full-frame mirror of Canon Eos R and a new optics line for this platform.

Nikon.despite the first failed attempt (Nikon 1) did not leave hopes for the conquest of the mirror-free market and released the whole 2 full-frame models Z6 and Z7. Let's hope that they will be more successful on the market than the Nikon 1 compact family.

Pentax I could not.

Magnifier Samsung Initially, they did not enjoy very popular in the market, now they are almost no expected on sale - apparently the old stocks are sold. Apparently, Samsung turned on this direction, at least in Russia and focused on the fact that it turns out to be best of all - household appliances, mobile devices. I would not advise you to buy a camera System Samsung - in the foreseeable future, it will turn into a complete illiquid, as it cannot be used for him.

And the Chinese are well done! Recently appeared on sale Xiaomi system chambers, Not the last role was played by the famous Aliexpress service. They did not invent a bike, but simply "attached" to the Micro 4/3 platform. Personally, I did not have the opportunity to test the Xiaomi chamber, but judging by the reviews, they still lose the Olympus and Panasonic pictures. I have no doubt that over time they will bring their cameras to mind - just as it turned out with smartphones. Initially, the Xiaomi smartphones nobody recorded seriously, then they embarrassed the pretty part of the market from Apple and Samsung. I have a smartphone Xiaomi for the third year and I am quite satisfied with them, especially considering its value. We wish them success in the new field!

This article will go on firecakes. They call them so for the fact that there is no bulky mirror and optical viewfinder in their design. In the design of the classic mirror, the mirror located behind the lens at an angle of 45 degrees to the optical axis allows you to observe the image obtained directly through the optics installed on the camera directly through the optics. On the quality of the image, its presence does not affect (at the time of shooting it generally rises and closes the optical viewfinder). Due to the large sizes of the mirror itself, the distance between the matrix and the lens increases, which in turn complicates the optical design of the lenses, increases the size of the chamber itself, makes it more cumbersome and noisy.

Mirror or mirrorless camera: what to choose

What is a mirror camera better mirrorless? For a long time, mirror cameras were the most popular among photoelers, as the advantages still blocked the shortcomings. However, progress does not stand still, and modern digital technologies allowed manufacturers to create a new class of cameras. Mudless system chambers have absorbed all the advantages of a mirror camera represented by ease of sight, speed of electronics, as well as the possibility of changing optics. At the same time, the lack of an optical viewfinder and mirrors allow you to make the camera themselves less, easier, with a simpler and efficient design. Initially, occurring as a niche product, this class of cameras every year gains more and more new fans, the number of models in the market is growing airy-like. In all this variety, no wonder to get confused!

System Cameras with replaceable optics

In this article, we have chosen the most interesting representatives of the messmaker or, as they are also called compact system chambers with replaceable optics. We will tell about the models that in their characteristics have already come close to the indicators of mirror cameras, and even surpassed them at all. Mudless cameras can be interesting to a wide circle of people. For example, those who want to step forward from the usual compact soap man or a mobile phone. Intuitively understandable management of most such cameras allows you to familiarize yourself with all the azami photos, staying in the comfort zone. They will also suit those photoelers who have a large park of old high-quality photo optics remaining from film times. Many firms produced adapters for different bayonettes through which you can install and use your favorite lenses on the camera. They are also often chosen as a spare or second chamber, many owners of mirror cameras, and sometimes completely switch from the mirror system to mirrorless!

And even an important moment: some models of the messmaker (for example, Olympus) the price almost did not grow. Other models added as a result of the December rise in price rise not so much as mirror cameras.

Fireless cameras Olympus

If the size and weight is most important for you, then you should look towards mirror-free cameras from Olympus. In their cameras, they use the Micro Four Thirds size matrix (approximately 17.3x13 mm). Such a solution allows you to produce cameras and optics of small sizes. At the same time, the Micro Four Thirds matrix has a sufficiently large size and provides image quality close to APS-C matrices. Olympus in his cameras regarding the quality of the picture squeeze out of the 4/3 sensors literally everything! Among the rich Olympus line, you want to highlight two OM-D E-M10 and OM-D E-M1

In 2014, he received many awards, including from Eisa, Dppreview and Tipa, as a camera with an ideal value ratio in its class. OM-D E-M10 is the continuation of the OM-D series, which conquered the world with its classic design, combined with the latest achievements of Olympus. The camera is very fast. Autofocus speed is only 0.06 seconds, and shooting speed in RAW frame format 8 frames per second. We add to the vast possibilities for customization of the interface, the simplicity of manual and semi-automatic control, shooting in Full-HD format, and you will get a camera that wins most of the mirror cameras, but takes at times less space.

E-M10's elder brother, flagship flagship Olympus Micro Four Thirds. With each of his face, this chamber is sharpened to report and has a rich arsenal of professional solutions. Improved electronic viewfinder with a field of view is greater than many "mirror cameras". A unique 5-axis image stabilizer for photo and video: compensates for jitter in three planes, as well as rotational moments. Fast, like a cheetah, hybrid autofocus. Dust and moistureproof frost-resistant housing. This camera also produces a large number of additional accessories that expand its capabilities even more. From the available accessories, I would like to note the MMF-3 adapter, which allows you to install and use all 4/3 optics functions (such optics was used in Olympus and Panasonic mirrors in the recent past). Autofocus with such optics will work with the phase detection sensors located on the matrix.

Fujifilm Mudless Cameras

The next manufacturer, who also focused its forces on the release of mirror-free cameras and left the seeds without attention, is the Japanese Fujifilm Corporation. The main advantage of Fujifilm is a unique matrix and the optics designed for it. And it is not surprising, after all, all its experience and knowledge gained over the long years of the improvement of color emulsions, Fujifilm engineers adapted under digital technologies. The result of their works was the matrix with X-TRANS technology.

This technology is interesting in that the pixels on the sensor are located in a non-linear manner and due to this disappears the need to use a low-frequency filter. The picture acquires your unique charm, as well as exceptional sharpness in the smallest detail. All these parts make it possible to capture the optics of your own design. Among the cameras from the Fujifilm line, you want to highlight the following mirrorless models.

It is the most affordable model in the camera line from Fujifilm with X-TRANS technology. It differs from their older brothers, primarily the size, as well as the absence of an electronic viewfinder and less developed ergonomics of controls (fewer buttons). The camera is offered in three different colors of the body, has a turning screen, a Wi-Fi function and will be an inexpensive inlet ticket to the world of Fujifilm.

This is a Fujifulm application to the game on the same field as Olympus OM-D E-M1. On the field of reportage cameras in direct competing with mirrors. The model refers to the premium segment and at the moment is the most advanced system mirror-free camera of Fujifilm. Outwardly, it looks like a mirror, but instead of an optical viewfinder, an electronic one is used, which, due to its size and quality, is practically not distincted from optical. The camera is dust - moisture-proof, frost-resistant and has classic shutter speed and exposure controls (the diaphragm on most Fujifilm lenses is installed ring on the lens). X-TRANS CMOS II matrix is \u200b\u200bused with increased to 51200 ISO. The new processor and electronics practically reduced the inclusion time and the interval between the pictures, which made it possible to obtain a camera with the highest response rate. Phase autofocus with an object movement prediction feature allows you to shoot up to 8 frames per second. To this model, as in the case of Olympus, Fujifilm produced a large line of additional accessories and new dust and waterproof lenses.

Fireless Sony cameras

Speaking of moonful cameras should not be mentioned about Sony Corporation. Among the achievements in this market segment, you would like to highlight two models: Sony A6000 with the most advanced autofocus and Sony A7 II with a 5-axis optical stabilizer on the basis of a matrix shift, first implemented on the full frame.

This is 24-MP APS-C mirrorless camera with bayonet E, produced in three colors. At first glance, her thoughtful ergonomics will be brought into your eyes. The camera goes well in the hand, has a variety of customizable controls, thoughtful interface. But the most interesting is its autofocus system with 4D focus technology. Not only, in speed, he even surpassed mirror cameras from Sony, so also the guidance is carried out in four dimensions: horizontal, vertical, depth and time (meaning predictive algorithms, peeling to predict the movement of an object during the next time). Other features include an extended matrix sensitivity range to ISO 25600, the intelligent electronic OLED-viewfinder of the high resolution, Wi-Fi and NFC data transmission protocols. Another interesting fact is the ability to download various kinds of applications that improve and expand the capabilities of the camera, from PlayMemories Camera Apps.

With a bayonet E and a full-frame matrix, it costs some mansion from all mudflower cameras. This is the first camera in the world with a 5-axis optical image stabilizer implemented for full-frame (24x36 mm) matrix. The stabilizer will work with "native" for this model with optics with bayonet E, and with optics from Sony and Minolta mirrons with a bayonet A (you need the corresponding adapter), and with any other lenses installed through adapters. If the adapter electronics allows the camera to understand which lens is used, the stabilizer is adjusted for the lens automatically. If the lens or adapter does not have electronics at all, then the focal length of the lens will be necessary to specify manually.

Camera autofocus hybrid, maximum accurate and fast, with the possibility of predicting movement. The videographers also appreciate this camera in dignity, since it has a complete set of video recording functions, and at the output gives video to Full HD format with a bitrate of up to 50 Mbps. Add a convenient ergonomic design here, a high degree of freedom regarding the control settings, simplicity of wireless data transmission and convenient loading of additional tools through the branded PlayMemories Camera Apps and we will receive a mirror-free camera with limitless capabilities, and most importantly - with a full-frame matrix.

It has long wanted to write about an intermediate link between digital soapboxes and mirror chambers, and with Nikon's access to the market, it is not already unforgivable. Therefore, today I will tell about mirror-free chambers with replaceable optics, a kind of hybrid with a soapbox housing and the capabilities of senior cameras. But is everything really rosy? On this question and try to find an answer in the article.

The story began for a long time ago, namely in 2008 with a presentation of a new format of cameras with interchangeable lenses with Olympus and Panasonic companies. This format is called micro 4/3 and during the appearance, he should have become a response to the rapid loss by these companies in the mirror chambers market. Technically, the essence is that by replacing the optical viewfinder with the Live View function, you can abandon the mirror and significantly reduce the overall dimensions of the camera while maintaining the image quality at the level of the Slirlock. In addition, a decrease in the distance from the rear lens lens to the matrix has a positive effect on optics, which made it possible to make high-quality lenses of very small sizes. In the theory, everything was good, but these cameras did not discharge mostly due to the high price, slow, compared to the mirror cameras of course, focusing systems and a small amount of accessories offered.

Later to the "Club" joined Samsung with the NX10 camera. She differed little in dimensions from mirror cameras, except that it was noticeable thinner, besides, the entry-level mirrors were released at very reasonable prices and for a while on a new standard was almost forgotten. Of course, the cameras were sold, but did not have a noticeable influence on the market.

The revolution was performed by Sony, announced the SAMSUNG in the spring of 2010 NEX-3 and NEX-5. It was a breakthrough: 14 Megapixel matrix of the APS-C format (with crop 1.5) at the senior model, the ISO 800-1600 working value, a huge screen is 3 inches, simple control and dimensions that allow you to put the camera in your pocket, right only with Fix -News. A little later, additional accessories came out - an external flash and adapter under the lenses to the senior cameras of the α series.

These cameras were sold, and now they are sold very well and often even professional photographers are used, the truth is mainly as a safety chambers. Recently, new items have been released or announced, it is Olympus Pen E-P3, Samsung NX200 and Sony NEX-7. And quite recently, the oil in the fire passed the company Nikon Announces two chambers V1 and J1. However, the first pancake in this case seemed to be released - a matrix with a resolution of only 10 megapixels, and even with Cropling 2.7, not far from ordinary soaps, but it was this component of mirror-free cameras and made them interesting in comparison with compacts. True, intrigue has not yet been completed, waiting for the announcement from Canon.

Now that it is increasingly less clear with the main players and camera models, as well as technical features, let's try to figure out for what is needed mirror chambers with interchangeable optics? In my opinion, buying a mirror chamber is a kind of application for further development and improvement of photography skills. If you do not plan to shoot at least in semi-automatic modes, then the meaning of such a purchase is zero. Just for such cases when you want beautiful pictures, but there is no desire to deal with the parameters and shooting modes and there are Sony Nex type cameras.
