For those wanting to step up from entry-level to midrange ILCs, there are many things to consider, including the choice between a DSLR or mirrorless camera, what sensor size suits you best, how important video is to you, and of course the lens system.
While full-frame cameras typically offer superior low light image quality and more control over depth-of-field, crop-sensor cameras are extremely capable in their own right – and (usually) more compact and less costly.
We’ve split the $ 1200-2000 ILC marketplace into two segments – cropped sensor cameras (which you’ll find in this roundup) and full-frame options (coming soon).
There’s a lot of variety in this group of crop-sensor cameras. Two of them are DSLRs and five are mirrorless. While most use APS-C sensors, the Olympus PEN-F and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 use smaller Four Thirds sensors. Some of these cameras are aimed toward still shooters, while others are more video-centric.
Here are the competitors in this crop-sensor round-up:
- Canon EOS 7D Mark II
- Fujifilm X-Pro2
- Fujifilm X-T1
- Leica T (typ 701)
- Nikon D500
- Olympus PEN-F
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4
