With the recent boom in mirrorless cameras, it\u2019s no wonder that Olympus remains on the forefront. With its fast-touch auto-focus, 8.5 frames-per-second burst shooting, easy lens switch-out, and built-in 5-axis image stabilization, the Mark II has all the features that pros demand; meanwhile, it is simple and intuitive enough for a beginner just making the jump to mirrorless camera photography. Both Olympus and Panasonic lenses can be used with the body, giving an added element of flexibility &#8211; and potential savings if you already own one of those lenses. With a price of less than $450, it\u2019s a professional-grade camera for a third of the typical professional-grade price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Large, bright, low-latency viewfinder<\/li>\n<li>Shoots crisp video<\/li>\n<li>Available lenses equally well-priced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short battery life<\/li>\n<li>Auto-focus difficult with moving targets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Panasonic Lumix G85<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PANASONIC-Megapixel-Mirrorless-Stabilization-DMC-G85MK\/dp\/B01M050N05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PANASONIC-Megapixel-Mirrorless-Stabilization-DMC-G85MK\/dp\/B01M050N05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51jvmCyw9DL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PANASONIC-Megapixel-Mirrorless-Stabilization-DMC-G85MK\/dp\/B01M050N05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Putting the \"Gee!\" in G85<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">For photographers looking to work with a variety of lenses, the Panasonic Lumix G85 offers the highest level of cross-brand compatibility.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Versatility<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PANASONIC-Megapixel-Mirrorless-Stabilization-DMC-G85MK\/dp\/B01M050N05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Most camera companies have their own lens mount, requiring the photographer to purchase lenses exclusively from the manufacturer. Micro Four Thirds lenses, on the other hand, are shared by both Panasonic and Olympus, along with a few specialty companies like Blackmagic Design and drone maker DJI. This wide variety of interchangeable lens options makes the Lumix G85 one of the most versatile mirrorless cameras on the market today. But the features don\u2019t stop there: the G85 comes with dual image stabilization, 4K video capture, an integrated eye-level OLED viewfinder, and a 10% greater fine detail resolving power than existing 16-megapixel sensors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electromagnetic shutter shock reduction<\/li>\n<li>Splash- and dust-proof body<\/li>\n<li>Optional Power Grip doubles battery life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plastic hinge on articulating screen can wobble<\/li>\n<li>Autofocus in video mode is problematic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Canon EOS Rebel T6<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Canon-Rebel-Camera-18-55mm-3-5-5-6\/dp\/B077G5XXMW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Canon-Rebel-Camera-18-55mm-3-5-5-6\/dp\/B077G5XXMW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61-Bc3svBKL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Canon-Rebel-Camera-18-55mm-3-5-5-6\/dp\/B077G5XXMW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">For The Rebel Photographer<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">Amateur photographers looking to make the jump to professional mirrorless cameras will find a whole goody bag of toys with this bundle.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Bundle<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Canon-Rebel-Camera-18-55mm-3-5-5-6\/dp\/B077G5XXMW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>The Canon Rebel has been one of the most trusted brand names in digital photography for over fifteen years.

Built with the world\u2019s first full-frame stacked CMOS sensor with integrated memory, the a9 provides blackout-free, continuous shooting up to an incomparable 20 frames per second. And you get all that with silent, anti-distortion, vibration-free shutter speed up to 1\/32,000th of a second. If you\u2019re trying to shoot fast-moving action, you can&#8217;t be changing your battery while the action continues, so the Sony a9 battery provides approximately 105 minutes through the viewfinder and 120 minutes with the LCD monitor.

If you\u2019re just starting out with your first mirrorless camera, you\u2019ll need a base and a lens. Fortunately, most mirrorless cameras come this way. Photographers who, for example, love their Olympus lenses but want to upgrade to the new Olympus camera can simply buy the new base camera and continue to use their existing lenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I put my Olympus lens on the Nikon camera I\u2019m considering?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. Though some after-market companies have developed lens mount adapters, most professional lenses only fit the camera base made by the same manufacturer. Therefore, your Olympus lens will not fit your Nikon camera. If this is your first mirrorless camera purchase, we suggest you consider both the base camera, the lenses and the other accessories provided by the manufacturer before making your commitment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When will I know that I need a camera that\u2019s better than the one on my phone?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been considering upgrading to a mirrorless camera, our suggestion is to go borrow one from a friend or rent one for the weekend. Watch some photography basics tutorials on YouTube, then go out and experiment. If you see the difference &#8211; and like what you see &#8211; then you\u2019ll know that it\u2019s time for an upgrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Having been in business for over a hundred years, Olympus has produced some of the most iconic cameras in history.
