Whether you’re a beginner, a vlogger, or a pro photographer, choosing the right camera in your price range can be tricky. We’ve selected six models from entry level to premium with the features you need to capture stunning shots and video footage.
Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Vlog Camera with 16–50mm Lens Kit
The compact ZV-E10 is an ideal grab-and-go camera for vlogging, with simple functionality and an inbuilt three-capsule mic for clear audio recording, even in windy conditions.
Influencers and vloggers who shoot product review videos will love the dedicated 'Product Showcase', which automatically shifts the focus from face to the product that is held up in front of the camera.
The no-fuss controls also include one-touch settings for slow motion and bokeh, fast autofocus for stills and video, auto eye and subject movement tracking, and image stabilisation when shooting on the move.
The ZV-E10 has an articulating touchscreen for shooting flexibility and a big APS-C sensor that’s ten times larger than your average smartphone, adding a professional sheen to your content. And livestreaming and videoconferencing is easy – just connect the camera to a laptop.
Shoot video in 4K/30fps continuously for up to 80 minutes with a fully charged battery, and rapid snap with 11fps burst shooting.
The ZV-E10’s advanced feature set and ease of use make it a great entry level camera for aspiring vloggers and photographers.
Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera with RFS 18–45mm Lens Kit
Another good entry level camera, the EOS R50 is a compact and lightweight model that’s perfect for travel and everyday photography, vlogging, and content creation.
Creating product reviews has never been easier with face-to-object autofocus, or use the 'Movie for Close-Up' function to switch focus to the subject nearest the camera. And IS mode will minimise any blur when shooting handheld.
Video can be recorded in 4K/30p plus HDR with no image cropping, and auto-shooting modes will adjust settings according to a particular scene, ensuring your stills and video look top notch.
Short videos and photos can be quickly transferred to a smartphone using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB connection, and the EOS R50 can also double as a webcam for livestreaming.
Capture stunning sunsets and landscapes in panoramic mode, shoot high speed up to 15fps, and track humans, animals, and vehicles across the entire frame with subject recognition tech.
The EOS R50 is also compatible with interchangeable RF-S and RF lenses for fast and intuitive shooting.
Nikon Z30 Mirrorless Camera with 12–28mm Powerzoom Lens
The compact Z30 is also designed for simple content creation and vlogging, with an APS-C size/DX-format image sensor – that’s 40 times larger than a smartphone camera – for capturing sharp and clear video and stills in any shooting conditions.
The three-inch vari-angle touchscreen gives you easy control and flexibility for framing and high and low angle shots, and inbuilt VR will eliminate any blurring caused by camera shake. And you can instantly add effects and colours to your photos and videos using 20 creative picture control modes.
Eye detection autofocus will track humans and pets – simply touch the subject you want to track in the onscreen display.
Shoot 4K video at 30p, 25p and 24p with no cropping of wide-angle footage, and Full HD for slow motion at 100fps. Plus, you can record continuously for up to 125 minutes, or connect to a power bank for an extended shoot.

Fujifilm X100VI Compact Camera
Shoot like a pro with this premium lightweight camera sporting tactile dial-based settings and a hybrid electronic and old school optical viewfinder for more flexibility when sizing up the scene you want to capture.
The X100VI’s 40.2MP sensor and 23mm F2 lens uses an enhanced image processing algorithm to boost resolution for sharp and stunning images, while IBIS ensures clear, blur-free stills and video at shorter focal lengths. And the viewscreen can be tilted to 45° to capture those high angle shots.
Record video in up to 6.2K/30p, 4K/60p, and high speed 1080/24p, and get creative with 'Film Simulation' modes to add analogue effects like film grain.
Designed for shooting on the go and content creation, the X100VI’s premium features and high resolution will give you an edge over the competition.
Sony Alpha A7C II Full Frame Mirrorless Camera [Body Only]
If you’re looking for a lightweight full frame camera for vlogging, travel, and capturing special events, the A7C II has all the specs you need, plus the flexibility of interchangeable lenses.
The camera’s AI processing unit controls autofocus, auto framing, and subject recognition for precise tracking, even in small areas of the frame. You’ll get authentic-looking portraits, too, with facial skin detection that adjusts the exposure to match, even in direct sunlight or shadow.
The A7C II is great for shooting stills and video handheld, eliminating any camera shake via high-precision image stabilisation. Capture video in 4K/30p and also 60p in Super 35 mode for a more cinematic look.
The 33MP sensor captures sharp and detailed photos, with burst shooting at up to 10fps. And the articulating three-inch touchscreen can be angled for quick and easy menu access.
Connecting the A7C II to a smart device gives you control of camera functions and swift transfer of images and video using Sony’s Creators’ App, and vloggers can connect to a PC or Mac for livestreaming in up to 4K resolution.
Nikon Z f Full Frame Mirrorless Camera with Nikkor Z 40mm Lens
One for the pro photographer, the Nikon Z f packs advanced camera tech and a suite of features into a cool retro design. And it comes in a variety of colours to suit your style.
It’s also the first full frame camera in Nikon’s Z series to feature an articulated touchscreen display, allowing greater flexibility for composing shots.
The Nikon Z f’s EXPEED image processor enables continuous shooting at up to 30fps, with noise reduction in low light conditions, while video is captured at 4K/60fps, with continuous recording up to 125 minutes. In-camera VR will eliminate any blur from camera shake.
Autofocus uses deep learning to detect up to nine different subjects in a frame simultaneously, and can recognise eyes, animals, and vehicles, while the dedicated eye-tracking mode makes portrait shots easy and can even pick out faces a mere 3% in size.
Capture the mood of the moment using 20 'Creative Picture' options that customise colours, clarity and tone of stills and video; weddings, special events, and portraits will really pop! And black and white enthusiasts will love the dedicated monochrome mode.
