The mirrorless camera certainly seems to be making all the photographic headlines right now. Following on from innovative new models from Nikon and Canon, Fujifilm has released the X-T3 – and if Nikon’s Z7 and Canon’s EOS R have redefined the pro-level mirrorless camera, Fujifilm might just have done the same at the enthusiast level. Find out what makes the X-T3 worth your attention in our lead review over the page.

Our second camera test on page 124 sees Nikon revisiting the unusual bridge camera sector with the P1000, whose integrated zoom lens offers focal lengths equivalent in 35mm terms to 24-3,000mm! As you”ll discover, though, there’s a price to pay for all that optical versatility in a single camera.

At the other end of the lens spectrum, our Group Test spotlights fixed 50mm lenses. With a great balance of image quality and angle of view, 50mm primes enhance any photographer’s kit bag; find out which one is best for your camera on page 134. And don’t miss our Gift Guide on page 127 as you get ready to go shopping!
