Popular cameras questions
All answers →Mirrorless or DSLR in 2026?
Mirrorless. Almost without exception. Canon, Nikon, and Sony have all shifted lens R&D to mirrorless mounts; DSLRs are now legacy products with shrinking accessory support.
Is a mirrorless camera worth it over my phone?
For controlled lighting and casual sharing, modern flagship phones are remarkably close to mirrorless quality. For low light, action, portraits with real bokeh, or large prints, a mirrorless camera still wins by a wide margin.
What is the best camera for travel?
A compact APS-C or Micro Four Thirds mirrorless with a single 18–135mm-equivalent zoom covers 90% of travel shots without weighing you down. The Fujifilm X-S20 and OM System OM-5 are the standouts; the Sony RX100 VII is the best pocketable option.
What is aperture in photography?
Aperture is the size of the lens opening that lets light through to the sensor. Measured in f-stops (f/1.4, f/2.8, f/8). Lower numbers = bigger opening = more light and shallower depth of field.
What camera is best for vlogging?
For most vloggers, a compact mirrorless camera with a flip screen, reliable face-tracking autofocus, and in-body stabilization beats anything else. The Sony ZV-E10, Canon EOS R50, and Panasonic Lumix G100 are the strongest starting points depending on your budget and lens plans.
How much should I spend on my first camera?
$700-1,200 for a modern mirrorless body with kit lens. Going below $500 puts you in older or less capable territory; going above $2,000 is wasted on a beginner.
