It will be a year of more powerful sensors, higher megapixel counts, better autofocus and low-light performance and an increase in professional features that bring the worlds of photography and video closer together than ever before. We’ve seen high-quality slow motion capabilities from a compact camera that’s smaller than a smartphone, and even a high-end hybrid mirrorless that can work with AF lenses from multiple brands.Īll this bodes very well for 2016, which is the year we should see the much-awaited successors to the Fujifilm X-Pro1, Olympus OM-D E-M1, Panasonic Lumix GH4 and, dare I say it, the Sony A7 II. 4K is now an industry standard on cameras from Sony and Panasonic Lumix, while Olympus is pushing the envelope with features like Focus Bracketing/Stacking, High Res Shot and 5-axis stabilisation for video. With Halloween and Thanksgiving done and the palpable energy of the holiday season in the air, it is all too clear that the final days of 2015 are upon us, which also means that it is time for us to round up the top mirrorless cameras of the year!Īlthough 2015 hasn’t been as exciting as some years in terms of camera releases, we have certainly seen some great leaps forward in technology.
