The top manufacturers when it comes to digital cameras are Canon, Sony, and Nikon. In this post I’m going to review a model from each manufacturer and see what specifications each of them has and where one excels better than the other. A thing to keep in mind is that the models that are picked are pricey, and for a good reason, they’re on top of the list of high quality digital camers. These models can be bought from a digital cameras online shop.

It’s optimized for video capturing and has the same ISO sensitivity range as the photo capture, and has a built-in stereo microphone.

The Sony A7R II Mirrorless camera is a full frame 42.4 MP CMOS sensor digital camera. The Exmor R back-illuminate structured sensor is designed to improve low light operations and increase the speed of data throughout, which enables UHD 4k video recording and taking fast high resolution still images.

Depending on your personal preference and needs your choice might vary, but overall, they are all solid cameras that you can use to go deeper into professional photography and produce works of art.
