Readers’ Choice Awards 2015: The Winners
At the end of last year we asked you to vote for the best cameras and lenses of 2015. Across two rounds of voting DPReview readers did just that, selecting the top overall photography products of 2015. It was no easy feat, as 2015 brought huge advancements in stills and video technology, but with thousands of votes tallied it’s time to declare a winner. See how the votes stacked up.
Runner-up: Nikon D7200
In the runner-up position, coming third in our final poll is the Nikon D7200. The D7200 just edged out the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV to take the third highest number of votes at 9.9% of the overall vote. Both formidable cameras in their own categories, the D7200 nabs the runner-up title with its DX-format 24.2MP sensor, sophisticated AF system and enjoyable handling and ergonomics.

Runner-up: Olympus OM-D E-M5 II
‘How do you follow up a classic?’ is the question we found ourselves asking of the OM-D E-M5 II. Taking the second-place position in our final poll with 12.9% of the overall vote, the E-M5 II does a fine job of following up its well-regarded predecessor, and its class-leading 5-axis image stabilization system helps it stand out among last year’s notable products.

It was our Product of the Year and now that the votes are in, we know it was yours too.

Winning by a landslide, the a7R II took 36% of the overall vote.
Thanks to everyone that voted, and we hope that you’re all looking forward to more great gear in 2016!
