Within this category, which is made up of cameras costing $ 2000 or more (body-only, and based on MSRP in the US), you’ll find some of the fiercest competitors the camera industry has to offer. This includes cameras with 50 or more megapixels geared perfectly for studio shooters, 4K-capable cameras for serious film makers, and all-rounders that can easily split their time between pro-level still shooting and high-end video capture.
All of the cameras in this price range use full-frame sensors. And while most of them are DSLRs, there are also several mirrorless options as well. Simply put, there is something here to satisfy just about everyone who is willing to pony up the requisite funds. Read through to see what makes this segment so cutthroat, and what innovations are driving this tier forwards at a remarkable pace.
The models covered in this roundup are:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III
- Canon EOS 5DS / 5DS R
- Leica SL
- Nikon Df
- Nikon D750
- Nikon D810
- Sony Alpha a7R II
- Sony Alpha a7S
- Sony Alpha a7S II
Note: We purposely excluded the Canon EOS 1DX II, Nikon D5 and Pentax 645Z from this roundup as we feel the capabilities of both cameras put them in a class of their own, which we’ll cover in an additional roundup.
