Buying Guide: The best cameras over $2000

Image
Published Nov 21, 2017   |   dpreview staff Last updated: March 7, 2018 If you're a serious enthusiast or working pro, the very best digital cameras on the market will cost you at least $2000. That's a lot of money, but generally speaking these cameras offer the highest resolution, the best build quality and the most advanced video specs out there, as well as fast burst rates and top-notch autofocus. Competition in this market segment is fierce, and honestly, there's no such thing as a 'bad' camera at this price-point. As such, we've picked two winners, both of which earn our wholehearted recommendation for slightly different reasons. Our pick: Sony a7R III The Sony a7R III is a versatile camera, more than capable of capturing excellent images in a wide range of shooting situations. We picked it as our joint-winner in this category for several reasons—among them, its excellent resolution, in-camera stabilization, effective autofocus and advanc...

Camera Resolution Explained

Image
FEBRUARY 17, 2015   BY   NASIM MANSUROV Although the megapixel race has been going on since digital cameras had been invented, the last few years in particular have seen a huge increase in resolution – we have seen everything from 41 megapixel camera phones to now  50.6 megapixel full-frame DSLR cameras . It seems like we have already reached the theoretical maximum for handling noise at high ISOs with the current generation sensor technology, so the manufacturers are now focusing their efforts in packing more resolution, while keeping sensor sizes the same in order to lure more customers to upgrade to the latest and greatest. In this article, I will try to explain some basic terminology in regards to resolution and hopefully help our readers in understanding camera resolution better. NIKON D3S @ 500mm, ISO 1600, 1/800, f/8 Before we get started, let’s first talk about what resolution impacts and then we will address some of the common misconceptions. 1) ...

Benefits of a High Resolution Sensor

Image
JANUARY 9, 2012   BY   NASIM MANSUROV As camera manufacturers are continuing the megapixel race, with Sony releasing a bunch of 24 MP APS-C (1.5 crop-factor) cameras like  Sony A77 , A65 and NEX-7, and Nikon releasing a high resolution 36 MP  Nikon D800 , many of us photographers question the need for such a high resolution sensor. Some of us are happy while others are angry about these latest trends. Just when we thought companies like Nikon abandoned the megapixel race, instead of seeing other companies do the same, we now see Nikon back in the game with a new breed of product with a boatload of pixels. Why did Nikon all of a sudden decide to flip the game? Why does everyone seem to be going for more pixels rather than better low-light / high ISO performance? Does a high resolution sensor make sense? What are the true benefits of a high resolution sensor? In this article, I will provide my thoughts on what I think has happened with Nikon’s camera strategy, a...

Nikon D4s unveiled @CES2014

Image
The D4s is a mere exhibit in a case at CES 2014, will the Winter Olympics this year see it put to use? It was in the gossip pipeline for a bit, the new successor to Nikon’s Flagship D4. At CES 2014, we got a look at the new product. And we literally mean a look, since it was enclosed in a box, with Nikon reps around a little wary of letting out too much of the specs front. The official press release fom Nikon was aptly vague, saying “As Nikon's new flagship model, the D4S will offer advances over the Nikon D4 HD-SLR camera, including enhanced image quality enabled with adoption of a new image-processing engine. The new HD-SLR will also feature more advanced autofocusing performance, further solidifying it as the choice for professional sports, nature and event photographers as well as photojournalists. The D4S represents a concentration of Nikon's advanced camera development technologies and legacy as a leader in imaging. The D4S will further expand the pos...
