Canon EOS RP vs Sony A7 II – The 10 Main Differences

In order to expand its new full-frame mirrorless system as quickly as possible, Canon decided to release a competitively-priced second body after the announcement of the EOS R last year. This camera, dubbed the EOS RP, may not feature the most attractive specifications, but its price (which will certainly decrease in the future) could make it a very attractive offering on the market.

If we had to pick a direct competitor, we’d go straight for the four-year-old A7 mark II, which Sony now classifies  as a mid-range model in the full-frame E-mount series.

Fujifilm X-T30 vs Sony a6400 – The 10 Main Differences

The latest addition to the Fuji X-series line-up, the X-T30, has a lot in common with the more expensive X-T3 and should be a popular choice amongst enthusiasts, just as its predecessor the X-T20 was when it hit the market.

Sony has released different versions of its APS-C mirrorless cameras. The a6400 is the latest to join the family and while it isn’t classified as a high-end model, it introduces Sony’s next generation autofocus which looks very promising.

Panasonic Lumix S1 vs Sony A7 III – The 10 Main Differences

Panasonic has launched the S1 and S1R, making it the fifth camera company to release a full-frame mirrorless system in what has now become a very crowded market.

The S1 offers very interesting video specifications, as well as five-axis stabilisation, the highest resolution viewfinder on the market and many other features, all packed inside a large and robust body.

Its most natural competitor is the Sony A7 III, whose performance and popularity is unmatched in the mirrorless world (if not the digital camera market in general). The two cameras have some important specifications in common such as a 35mm format sensor, 24.2MP of resolution and an ISO range of 100 to 51200, with extended values up to 204800 ISO.

Panasonic Lumix S1 vs S1R – The 10 main differences (and many similarities)

After teasing the two cameras at Photokina last year, Panasonic has finally unveiled the full specifications of the Lumix S1 and S1R, the company’s first full-frame mirrorless cameras. Packed with advanced features for stills and video, they enter a very crowded market with their heads held high.

There are numerous products that we could compare them with, but it makes sense to start talking about these two models first. They have much in common, but there are also a few key differences that set them apart.

Since we had the chance to use them at the launch event in Barcelona, we decided to go beyond the format of our default comparison previews and offer you a more complete overview of our experience.

Olympus OM-D E-M1X vs E-M1 II – The 10 Main Differences

The E-M1 mark II was released in late 2016 and had impressive specifications for its time. The fast sensor readout, in addition to providing burst speeds of 60fps with the electronic shutter, also allowed for the implementation of interesting functions such as Pro Capture. The image stabilisation was state of the art and various features including the High Res Shot mode made the E-M1 II one of the most advanced mirrorless cameras at the time.

Not everything was perfect however. The autofocus, while improved compared to its predecessor, wasn’t the best in class, and many cameras that came soon after widened the performance gap. The Panasonic G9, for example, matched most of its specifications, and other products such as the Sony A9 (and Fujifilm X-T3 more recently) pushed the electronic shutter performance to new heights with the inclusion of a blackout-free live view. And although the 4K video quality was good, it wasn’t enough to attract serious filmmakers despite the stunning stabilisation.
