Unlike the reflex camerasIn the case of mirrorless cameras, which use - as their name suggests - a mirror that reflects the image to the viewfinder in order to obtain a preview of the sensor, the so-called "mirrorless" cameras do not use, either electronically or physically, a mirror because they do not incorporate an optical viewfinder that shows, at the same time, the image obtained by the sensor, but whose preview is processed digitally through a screen; Therefore, the space saving mechanism makes these cameras with interchangeable lens system, take more popularity in the last decade due to its small size compared to SLRs.
Top mirrorless cameras 2021
Here, we present the top best cameras mirrorless that are available in 2021, according to the average opinion of those who have already purchased one.
10. Sony Alpha A6000.
This could be the best-selling compact mirrorless camera since its introduction in 2014. With a 24.3-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and Bionz X processor, it achieves seven times the sensitivity of the Japanese company's NEX-7 series, with an ISO range from 100 to 25,000 and a burst of 11 frames per second. It features a 3.0-inch flip-up screen with viewing angles of up to 90 degrees.
Unfortunately, with the use of smartphones, this camera can only process 24 frames per second video at 1080p resolution. This camera will be able to be mirrorlessThe camera has an electronic viewfinder that makes use of an OLED screen that displays 100 percent of the sensor. Another advantage is that, via HDMI connection, you can capture video at a high transfer rate in case its incredible Blu-Ray quality selection doesn't satisfy you when it comes to shooting video. It is compatible with any Sony proprietary E-mount lens.
9. Canon EOS RP.
Since its launch in February 2019, Canon provided, for the first time, the camera. mirrorless more compact full photographer or full frameThe EOS 6D Mark II has a sensor equivalent to the 35mm sensor of the classic 3:2 film format with 26.2-megapixel CMOS technology and an 8th generation DiGiC processor. Equivalent to the EOS 6D Mark II model, this version weighs only 440 grams; it features a 3-inch touchscreen and 4K video recording at 24 frames per second and continuous shooting at 5 frames per second.
8. Alpha A6400, by Sony.
It is an update to Sony's 2014 release. This version, incorporates a touch screen, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity. Approved by Apple to work with Final Cut Pro. It records video at an average rate of 100 Mbps and 35mm format -larger than 4K- at 30 frames per second.
7. Sony Alpha A7 III.
Sony's a7 series is perhaps the current benchmark for compact interchangeable lens cameras. Launched in 2018, the "base" model features a full-frame sensor -full frame- Exmor R, 24.2-megapixel Bionz X that achieves 10 frames per second in a single shot and whose 5-axis stabilization is on the sensor and not on the lens, an ISO sensitivity of 100 to 51,200. 693 focal points. 4K recording at 30 frames per second with standard H.264 encoding and HDR-HLG.
6. Alpha A7R III, by Sony.
If only we were talking about another manufacturer, or at least another series. However, the a7 line - and its variants - dominate sales in full-frame, interchangeable-lens compact cameras. With a sensor that promises double that, 42.2 megapixels, the novelty of its sensor is that it's back-illuminated, so in challenging light conditions it can capture up to 10 images per second in a single shot and 76 in a continuous shot. ISO sensitivity ranges from 50 to 102,400. There are no improvements in terms of video encoding.
5. Canon EOS R5.
Canon is also one of the manufacturers leading several places on this list. This camera, in particular, stands out for its 8K video recording at 60 frames per second with 35mm equivalent resolution and a 45-megapixel full-frame sensor with 1,53 thousand 53 autofocus zones that can shoot up to 12 frames per second and 14-bit color depth.
4. Sony Alpha A7S III.
Sony is proud to present the new Sony Alpha 7S III capable of recording 4K video at 120 frames per second as a major feature. This is made possible by its new H.265 encoding; however, Sony has ditched standard storage and opted for CFexpress instead. It features a 12.1-megapixel full-frame sensor for high dynamic range and high sensitivity, resulting in an ISO sensitivity of 80 to 102,400 for stills and up to 409,600 for video. It promises impressive 16-bit color depth output via HDMI, but falls short in its first-generation HGL HDR mode and RAW stills with a proprietary Sony file type.
iPhone 12 Pro Max
"The best camera is the one you carry with you"; in this day and age, this phrase takes on more relevance when it comes to having the best camera within reach of your pocket. While the iPhone isn't a camera with interchangeable lenses, for over four years now, Apple has been making sure you carry not just one camera with you, but three.
The latest-generation iPhone has three 12-megapixel iSight cameras, with each pixel being 1.7 µm - creating 63-megapixel panoramic photos - plus the LiDAR scanner that "measures an object by calculating the time it takes for light to reach it and return, then creates a depth map of space"; in short, the iPhone measures the depth of objects even in complete darkness.
The processor that controls the cameras in the iPhone 12 Pro Max is also the fastest on the market and is at least years ahead of processors from Nikon, Sony, Canon and all Android devices: the A14 Bionic.
The iPhone Pro Max features stabilization from its sensor - it can move up to 5,000 times per second. It is also the only camera that, due to its flash storage speeds -limited in other cameras to SD card speeds-, is capable of capturing hundreds of photos per second, video recording in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, the only one with third-generation HDR Dolby Vision certification, superior to HDR-10 and HDR-HGL second and first generation of Sony cameras. Next-generation H.265 encoding - which produces higher quality, smaller file sizes - and sampling rates in excess of 400 Mbps, achieved with specialized video recording applications. And photo capture with 12-bit color depth thanks to Apple's ProRAW format, which translates to 14-stops of dynamic range.
It features a 6.7-inch multi-touch display with a pixel density of 458 pixels per dot capable of reproducing a wide range of P3 colors. It has Wi-Fi 6 connectivity - all Wi-Fi enabled cameras mentioned above have Wi-Fi 4 - Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and 5G cellular connectivity.
2. Sony Alpha A7R IV.
It was named Camera of the Year 2020 by Japan's Camera Grand Prix 2020. And no wonder, it features a 61-megapixel full-frame back-illuminated CMOS sensor and 5-axis stabilization. A RAW output via HDMI with 14-bit color depth. It has two standard memory slots. This camera incorporates a new Sony technology called Eye AF, which tracks the eye on animals to adjust its focus even if the animal is moving, such technology can also be applied for portraits.
1. Alpha A1, by Sony.
"The chosen one", acclaims Sony. This model is chosen to head the top "mirrorless" cameras 2021. Although it is not on sale yet, it is expected to arrive from March. It has a 50-megapixel sensor, a shooting speed of 20 frames per second. It can shoot 199-megapixel images with a repeat of 16 images in a single shot. Its electronic viewfinder reaches a frame rate of 240p.
To move that amount of pixels it uses the latest generation Bionz X processor that moves the Exmor RS sensor, also of the latest generation. It allows bursts of 30 full frames of 50.1 megapixels. It features 5-axis optical stabilization from the sensor. It is able to adjust its focus by following even the eye of a bird in flight.
It promises 8K recording at 30 frames per second and 4K recording at 120 frames per second; however, if you choose 4K recording at 60 frames per second, a sampling rate of 600 Mbps is achieved. The point to note is that its HDR mode is still HLG; however, it compensates with a RAW output via HDMI with 16-bit color depth, "easily," Sony says.
