The best cameras of 2026 by task: for a first camera, the Canon EOS R50 at €855 with a lens or the Nikon Z50II at €1,149; for vlogging, the Sony ZV-E10 II; for enthusiasts, the Fujifilm X-T50 and the Sony α6700; for hiking, the OM System OM-5 Mark II; for your pocket, the Panasonic Lumix TZ300. If you want full frame, choose between the Nikon Z5II, the new Canon EOS R8 Mark II and the Sony α7 V.
Below are 10 cameras that their makers sell or have announced as of September 2026: nine mirrorless models with APS-C, Four Thirds and full-frame sensors, plus one compact. For each one you get the sensor size and resolution, the mount and kit lens, stabilization, video, weight, shots per charge under the CIPA standard and the official price as of September 25, 2026. After the list come a comparison table and tips on choosing a camera and budgeting for lenses.
How we picked
- Current models only. All 10 cameras are listed on their makers’ official websites in September 2026. The Canon EOS R8 Mark II was announced on September 15 and is still on preorder; the rest are already on sale. The cameras from the previous version of this article, such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Nikon D850 and Sony a6000, came out between 2014 and 2019, so they didn’t make the list.
- Different jobs. A first camera, vlogging, enthusiast shooting, hiking and travel, and moving up to full frame.
- Manufacturer data. Sensor, mount, stabilization, video, weight and battery life come from the official Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, OM System and Panasonic websites.
- Official prices as of September 25, 2026. Fujifilm is the only brand here with an official online store in Ukraine that shows prices, so the X-T50 is listed in hryvnias. The Ukrainian websites of Canon, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic don’t show prices, and OM System has no Ukrainian website, so for these cameras we list the prices in the makers’ own online stores in Germany.
These aren’t our test results: we didn’t test the cameras, we compare manufacturer data. Prices in Ukrainian stores differ, and promotions run for a limited time.

- 375 g with battery and card
- Vari-angle touchscreen
- No in-body stabilization
- 4K only up to 30 fps
- About 310 shots per charge with the viewfinder
The EOS R50 is the most affordable camera on the list: Canon’s own store in Germany sells it for €855 with the RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM zoom. Inside is a 24.2 MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus; on top, an electronic viewfinder; on the back, a vari-angle touchscreen.
There’s no in-body stabilization: for stills, the kit lens handles shake, and for video there’s digital stabilization. Video tops out at 4K 30 fps, downsampled from 6K, plus Full HD at up to 120 fps for slow motion. If you mostly shoot video, look at the EOS R50 V at €759 body only: it adds 4K 60p, 6K oversampling and the Canon Log 3 profile. Cheaper still is the EOS R100 with the same zoom for €609.

The Z50II is an APS-C camera (Nikon calls the format DX) with a 20.9 MP sensor and the Z mount. It also takes lenses made for full-frame Nikons, so if you later move to, say, the Z5II, you can keep your glass. It has a 2.36-million-dot viewfinder, a 3.2-inch vari-angle touchscreen and a built-in flash, and through the Nikon Imaging Cloud service you can load up to nine exclusive Imaging Recipes color profiles.
Video goes up to 4K 60 fps and Full HD 120 fps, with N-Log and HLG profiles and electronic stabilization for handheld shooting. The weak spot is the EN-EL25a battery: 230–250 shots with the screen and 220–240 with the viewfinder under CIPA. Nikon’s store in Germany sells the kit with the 16-50mm VR for €1,149, the body for €999, and a version with the brighter 16-50mm f/2.8 VR for €1,699.

- Battery good for 610 shots or 130 minutes of video
- Mic and headphone jacks
- Lightest body on the list

For stills it’s a compromise: there’s no viewfinder, the shutter is electronic only, and there’s no in-body stabilization either; for video, Sony offers the electronic Active mode. On the plus side, the NP-FZ100 battery is rated for 610 shots or 130 minutes of video under CIPA. Sony’s own store in Germany sells only the body, for €849.99; Sony’s lineup also includes a kit with the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II zoom.

The OM-5 Mark II is for people who shoot on hikes and in bad weather. The body is IP53-rated against dust and splashes, works in temperatures down to −10°C and weighs 418 g with battery and card. Its Four Thirds sensor (17.3 × 13 mm) is smaller than those of the APS-C cameras on this list, with a resolution of 20.4 MP.
Its main strengths are in-body stabilization of up to 6.5 stops, or up to 7.5 stops with stabilized lenses (Sync IS), and computational modes on a dedicated button: handheld 50 MP shots, Live ND instead of a neutral density filter, and focus stacking. Video is more modest: 4K at up to 30 fps and C4K 24p.
OM System’s store in Germany currently sells the kit with the 12-45mm F4.0 PRO for €1,589 on sale, against a recommended price of €1,699, and the body for €1,299 instead of €1,399. IP53 means protection against dust and splashes, not submersion: shooting underwater takes different gear, which we cover in our article on underwater cameras.

Panasonic’s store in Germany sells the TZ300 for €999.
If you want a longer zoom on a smaller budget, Panasonic also makes the TZ99 for €599: a 30x 24–720 mm zoom, a tilting screen and a weight of 322 g, but its sensor is only 1/2.3-inch with 20.3 MP.

How to choose a camera
Sensor size
The bigger the sensor, the more light it gathers: less noise in low light and an easier time blurring the background. But the body, the lenses and the price grow with it. This list covers four sizes:
- Full frame (about 36 × 24 mm): the Nikon Z5II, Canon EOS R8 Mark II and Sony α7 V, from €1,679 body only.
- APS-C (23.3–23.5 × 15.5–15.7 mm; 22.3 × 14.9 mm on Canon): the Canon EOS R50, Nikon Z50II, Sony ZV-E10 II and α6700, and Fujifilm X-T50. The sweet spot for a first camera, travel and video.
- Four Thirds (17.3 × 13 mm): the OM System OM-5 Mark II. Smaller than APS-C, but the IP53-rated body weighs 418 g with battery and card.
- 1-inch and smaller: compacts, namely the Panasonic TZ300 with a 1-inch sensor and the TZ99 with a 1/2.3-inch sensor. No interchangeable lenses, but the whole zoom fits in your pocket.
Mount and lenses
When you buy a mirrorless camera, you’re choosing a system: Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, Fujifilm X and Micro Four Thirds lenses don’t fit each other without adapters. Canon, Nikon and Sony APS-C cameras also take full-frame lenses for the same mount, so you can buy lenses with an eye to the future and move up to full frame later. The reverse comes with a catch: with APS-C lenses, a full-frame camera crops the frame. On the Canon EOS R8 Mark II, for example, video with RF-S lenses switches to crop automatically.
Stabilization
In-body stabilization works with any lens, including fast primes without stabilization of their own, and helps with handheld shots at slow shutter speeds. Makers rate it in stops under the CIPA standard: 5 on the Sony α6700, 7 on the Fujifilm X-T50, and 7.5 at the center of the frame on the Nikon Z5II, Canon EOS R8 Mark II and Sony α7 V. The Canon EOS R50, Nikon Z50II and Sony ZV-E10 II have no in-body stabilization: they rely on stabilized kit lenses (IS, VR, OSS) and electronic stabilization for video.
Video
For family clips and trips, 4K 30p is enough, and every camera on the list shoots it. 4K 60p is for smooth motion and mild slow motion; 4K 120p is for proper slow-mo, which the Sony α6700 and α7 V can do. If you plan to color grade, look for 10-bit recording and Log profiles: N-Log on Nikon, Canon Log 3 on Canon, S-Log3 on Sony.
For vlogging, what matters is a vari-angle screen, a mic input and battery life: the ZV-E10 II battery lasts for 130 minutes of recording under CIPA, while the Panasonic TZ300 limits 4K clips to 15 minutes at a time.
Budget for lenses
A kit lens is the cheapest way to start: in the makers’ stores it adds €110 to the body price of the Canon EOS R50, €150 for the Nikon Z50II and €320 for the Nikon Z5II with the 24-50mm. Brighter zooms cost noticeably more: the Z50II with the 16-50mm f/2.8 VR comes to €1,699, €550 more than with the standard kit lens, and the X-T50 with the XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 costs UAH 15,000 more than the kit with the XC 15-45mm at Fujifilm’s store in Ukraine.
For portraits and low light, a fast prime helps: the Fujifilm XF 35mm F1.4 R, for example, costs UAH 29,990 at Fujifilm’s store in Ukraine. Also budget for a fast memory card: for 4K and bursts, Canon recommends UHS-II cards for the EOS R8 Mark II, and Fujifilm recommends Video Speed Class 60 or faster cards for 360 Mbps recording on the X-T50.
Battery life
Shots per charge under CIPA range from 220 to 750 on this list. You usually get fewer with the viewfinder than with the screen. Canon quotes figures for power-saving mode, and Nikon quotes them with and without it. For trips away from outlets, carry a spare battery or pick a camera that charges over USB-C, such as the Sony α7 V, α6700 and ZV-E10 II, the Canon EOS R8 Mark II and the Panasonic TZ300.

FAQ
What camera should a beginner buy?
An APS-C mirrorless camera with a kit lens: the Canon EOS R50 for €855 or the Nikon Z50II for €1,149 (prices in the makers’ stores in Germany as of September 25, 2026). If video matters more than photos, look at the Sony ZV-E10 II.
Which is better: full frame or APS-C?
Full frame does better in low light and blurs the background more, but the bodies and lenses are bigger and pricier: the Nikon Z5II with a lens costs €1,999, the Z50II €1,149. APS-C is enough for learning, travel and video, and full-frame Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E lenses also fit these brands’ APS-C cameras.
Do you need in-body stabilization?
It helps if you shoot handheld at slow shutter speeds, record video on the move or use lenses without stabilization. The Canon EOS R50, Nikon Z50II and Sony ZV-E10 II don’t have it; the kit lens handles shake instead.
What camera should you take traveling?
For hiking and bad weather, the OM System OM-5 Mark II with IP53 sealing at 418 g. If you want a zoom in your pocket, the Panasonic Lumix TZ300 (24–360 mm, 337 g), and for full frame, the Canon EOS R8 Mark II at 546 g. For shots from above, a camera won’t replace a drone; we’ve rounded up the best camera drones.
How many shots does a camera battery last?
Under the CIPA standard, from 220–240 shots with the viewfinder on the Nikon Z50II and Canon EOS R8 Mark II to 750 shots with the screen on the Sony α7 V. Real-world numbers can differ a lot: video, flash, cold weather and frequent image review all cut them down.
