Hot New Mirrorless Cameras You Can Buy Now

Sony a6300  
No other mirrorless camera—make that no other camera, period— has as an AF system like the a6300. This update to the best-selling a6000 boasts a new 24-megapixel APS-C-sized sensor and 425 phase detect autofocus points to help deliver what the company says is the fastest AF system in the world. The 425 phase detect points are packed across the imaging area and work with a new technology that clusters AF points around a moving subject to ensure it stays sharply in focus. The camera can acquire focus in as little as 0.05 seconds. The a6300 can shoot at 11 fps with AF engaged or at 8 fps through live view. The camera has a native ISO range of 100-51,200 and a 2.4-million dot OLED viewfinder. On the video front, the camera records 4K internally with no pixel-binning. It offers S-Log and S-Gamut color profiles for greater dynamic range—up to 14 stops.

Panasonic G85 
Like the GX85, the G85 dumps the optical low-pass filter for sharper images and also features an updated version of the GX85’s dual image stabilization system for a CIPA-sanctified five stops of image correction. It features a 16-megapixel sensor and 4K video recording with Panasonic’s 4K Photo Modes. You’ll hit 9 fps in continuous shooting with AF fixed on the first frame or up to 6 fps with continuous autofocus engaged. The G85 is weather-sealed and has an economy battery mode that can deliver up to 900 shots per charge—impressive for a mirrorless camera.

Panasonic GX85  
This budget-friendly Micro Four Thirds camera is Panasonic’s first without an optical low pass filter, the better to squeeze out additional sharpness from the 16-megapixel sensor. A new electromagnetic shutter mechanism and carbon fiber-based shutter keep shutter-induced blur to a minimum. Beyond that, the GX85 uses dual stabilization technology that combines an in-camera gyro sensor and lens-based corrections for tack-sharp images. You’ll find Panasonic’s 4K Photo Modes to isolate still images from a 4K movie as well as an innovative Post Focus feature to change the focus point of an image after you’ve shot it. Price includes a 12-32mm lens.

Olympus PEN-F  
With the PEN-F, Olympus has resurrected a ‘60s-era film camera for the digital age. Unlike most aging hippies, however, the PEN-F has been revitalized with modern innards, including a 20-megapixel Micro Four Thirds image sensor. It has a built-in five-axis stabilization system that delivers an impressive five-stops of correction, per CIPA standards. In keeping with its film-era aesthetic, the PEN-F marks the debut of color modes and film simulations that are available as customizable presets. There are three color mode presets and three monochrome presets.

Olympus PEN E-PL8
The newest addition to the PEN family, the E-PL8 features a 16-megapixel image sensor that shifts to provide 3-axis image stabilization in the camera body good for 3.5 stops of correction, per CIPA standards. You’ll hit around 7 fps in continuous shooting when focus is fixed on the first frame and image stabilization is on. Turn IS off and you’ll get a slight bump to 8 fps shooting. The camera records full HD video at 30p, has a 3-inch touch screen that can be tilted and built-in Wi-Fi.

Fujifilm X-T2 
The X-T2 not only brings higher-resolution video than its predecessor, but a 24-megapixel APS-C-sized X-Trans CMOS III image sensor with no low-pass filter for sharp stills. It has more AF points (325, including 91 zone-focusing points), and 40 percent of the imaging area is covered with phase detect AF pixels. AF algorithms are better at predictive AF, refocusing frequency, low-light focusing (down to -3 EV) and focusing on low-contrast objects. It has a burst mode of 8 fps with AF-C engaged, Wi-Fi, a 3-inch tilting display and Fuji’s film simulation modes.

Fujifilm X-A3
This mirrorless is selfie-friendly with a tilt-up LCD and severalexposure modes to optimize portraits (self or otherwise). In fact, the minute you flip the LCD above the top of the camera, you’ll automatically put the camera into selfie mode. You’ll find a 24-megapixel APS-C image sensor with a native ISO range of 100-6400. There are two new Fuji film modes PRO Neg Hi and PRO Neg Std, plus HD video recording and Wi-Fi. The price includes the XC1650mm f/2.5-5.6 lens.

Canon EOS M10 
An 18-megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS sensor with an ISO range of 100-12,800 (expandable to 25,600) is powered by Canon’s DIGIC 6 processor and uses the company’s Hybrid CMOS AF II system with 49 AF points for focusing. A 3-inch, tilting touch screen display can be popped over the top of the camera for selfies. It ships with a retractable EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens that shortens and locks into a compact size when not in use. The $600 price tag includes a 15-45mm lens.

Leica SL 
Sony is no longer the only company touting a full-frame mirrorless camera. With the SL, Leica lays claim to having the fastest full-frame mirrorless, clocking in with an 11 fps burst mode. The SL features a 24-megapixel sensor with a native ISO range of 100-50,000 and no optical low pass filter to coax out that much more sharpness. The SL focuses using a contrast AF system with 49 focus points. There’s an option for touch focusing, face detection and continuous modes. The SL’s 4-megapixel “EyeRes” EVF is the sharpest we’ve ever seen.

Sigma sd Quattro  
Sigma’s first-ever mirrorless cameras will also include the highest resolution mirrorless camera ever made. The sd Quattro and sd Quattro H will accept Sigma’s Global Vision lenses. The sd Quattro will use the same Foveon X3 APS-C-sized sensor that’s found on the company’s compact cameras to produce the equivalent of a 39-megapixel. The sd Quattro H sensor is a larger, APS-H sized sensor that produces the equivalent of a 51-megapixel image. Pricing on the Quattro H has not been finalized.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 
Fuji fans looking for more of a rangefinder feel should find the X-Pro2’s Advanced Hybrid Multi Viewfinder fits the bill. You can alternate between a true optical viewfinder and an electronic viewfinder with the flip of a switch. When in optical mode, there’s a bright frame simulation that represents a lens’s angle of view so you can properly compose your shot through the finder. The X-Pro2 packs a 24-megapixel, APS-C-sized image sensor with a native ISO of 200-12,800 (expandable to 100 and 51,200). There’s built-in Wi-Fi and a dozen film simulation modes. On the AF front, you’ll enjoy 273 focus points, 77 of which are phase detection points covering about 40 percent of the sensor’s imaging area.
