Mirrorless marvels

There’s a huge amount of mirrorless choice right now. These three new models are vying for your attention

We’re now over a decade into the mirrorless revolution. They’ve all but overtaken the old DSLR for non-pros, with a diverse range of options to suit every need, budget and skill level. Standing out in this crowded market is no easy task. With every major manufacturer offering at least one line of mirrorless cameras, it can be hard to know which one is right for you.

To that end, we’ve selected three models that are all interesting in their own ways.

The Nikon Z 50 comes hot on the heels of its full-frame siblings, offering a more affordable, mass-market product that is ideal for travel. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 comes to the market without a main rear screen, promising to make you a more considered photographer and stop you endlessly checking your shots (there’s a hidden screen you can reveal if you need to), and finally the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III brings an attractively retro body, enticing specs and a neat little package inside a mature system.

These aren’t the only models that you might consider - far from it - but they’re all what could reasonably be called ‘mid-range’ cameras. These may or may not be your first serious or ‘proper’ camera, but they offer a decent range of specifications at a fairly affordable - or good value - price. You can find cheaper, but you can equally also find more expensive options.

Without further ado, we take a closer look at what each of these mirrorless cameras has to offer.
