Fujifilm X-T4
£1549 / stuff.tv/xt4
The Fuji X-T4 might be the high-end mirrorless camera of your dreams. Relatively affordable for a flagship, it excels at stills and video thanks to in-body image stabilisation, high-speed shooting and 4K recording at up to 60fps. Rapid shooting is backed up by fancy AF tricks that feel equally fast and reliable, and even the battery life goes above and beyond the usual standards. There’s no doubting this is a worthy successor to the already fabulous X-T3. Stuff says ★★★★★
A superbly capable mirrorless camera for shooting pretty much anything in style
Sony A7C £1699 / stuff.tv/a7c
Putting full-frame sensors in small bodies is one of Sony’s greatest strengths, and the A7C minimises things even further. It stuffs a lot of imaging power into a compact package with plenty of battery life; for photo and video geeks in need of a body they can carry in a small bag, this fits the bill better than any other interchangeable-lens camera around. It isn’t a budget model by any means, but it isn’t a starter job either – it’s an enthusiast camera, capable of producing stunning photos and videos.

Superb quality and full-frame goodness from a half-pint camera
Sony A7 III £1699 / stuff.tv/sonya7iii
The A7 III manages to pack in a lot of tech and desirability for less than £2000. You get a full-frame 24.2MP sensor, a super-whizzy Bionz X processor, 10fps shooting, a hybrid AF system, a 2.3m-dot EVF and a 3in 922k-dot tilting
LCD touchscreen. It’s a fantastic all-rounder that’s suited to a bunch of shooting scenarios, coping well with landscapes, portraits and even a little bit of high-speed sport work. It’s not the prettiest thing we’ve ever seen, but it handles well for its compact size.
