See If Your Camera Is On The Top 10 List Of Best Cameras In 2016
Of course the subject of the greatest camera is debatable. Some determine it by size, some by megapixels, some simply by the price tag. We found an article covering 10 cameras – something for any and all photographers, I believe.

A D3300 but no D750? FOH! Plus, put any of those so called best camera’s in incapable hands & you’ll get the same crap you get from a cheap p&s.
Consumer Reports rated the D750 number 1. I switched back to Nikon after a decade of Canon because of the D750, own two of them and couldn’t be happier.
I do! It has the hybrid app known as: Mind & eye. 😉 The first photo that I ever sold was taken on an old tablet. The “photo” sucked, but my composition rocked…and that’s why it sold. 🙂
Bryan how did you sell it?
It sold at a local art museum. The museum asked for submissions for wall art, they selected my art for a month-long exhibit in the atrium. (hallway at the top of the stairs) A tourist saw it and bought it. It’s the middle one, of a man eating alone. The large one was sold about a month later to a local millionaire.

If it is not you are a bad photographer get out and buy now. lol pjc
D3300 but the D7200 isn’t on the list?
the full article on tech radar that say to read says D7200 is on top of list…
E 420 bitches
Still very happy with my Nikon D800e!
Love my D800e!!!
Canon 7D MkII. Second place. Has anyone tried to get it to focus in motor racing or anything that moves around at more than a walking pace. Hit miss miss hit miss. No wonder the fps is so good it has to be to get one shot out of seven. What a disappointment.
I agree with you, have been shooting Jr A hockey for 10 yrs and the results are not always what you
want to see for action shots, also shots out of focus, etc regardless of ISO setting…I use the original
Canon D70 ……its great for portraits and team photos however fast action isnt impressive.
Can’t agree there I’m sorry. I had the 7D Mark 1 which was very good, then bought a 5D MK3 to go with it. The 5D changed my focus settings to the ‘erratic’ one so when I got my 7D Mark 2 I used exactly the same setting. On a normal day shooting rugby (around 400 shots) I now get about 3 that are not in focus. I would recommend buying a Mark 2 on the focussing alone, never mind the frame rate.
the driver can not drive 7D Mark II must be able to set af
I use this camera with the back button focus and it is spot on.
Yes, I have. Far and away the best camera for motorsports I’ve ever used (worked as photographer in motorsports for 15 years). You need to fine tune the focus parameters to match what you’re shooting. I used it at the 2015 karting world championships and if you can keep those guys in focus you can keep anything in focus. Happy to provide samples if you like but don’t want to run afoul of any terms and conditions here. But, if you ask I can give you a link. Cheers!
Those cameras are all diverse, not even for same purposes… Top 10 of what category? Or perhaps each one is top in it’s class; in which case the only separation is the price.
These are the same people that told us our old glass would damage cameras.
I guess they never heard of Leica, Rolli or Hasselblad What about Pentax and Olympus? I guess I may as well get fid of my Canon 6D and 50D and just continue to build up my Fuji XT-1
The list is bs!!
I agree!
Nope. Not any of mine. I have Sony a700 and a700. A Sony Cybershot. A Nikon D5300. And a GoPro Hero 3+
It doesn’t matter what tool one uses.
What about the Canon EOS 1ds mklll… 21mpx full frame SLR?
That ought to be here. But they have taken price into your consideration.
I guess I am fortunate to own two bodies…
Yeah I’m pretty sure the 1D3 beats almost any camera in this list functionally. Not sure this list is very accurate…
It doesn’t really matter what camera you have apart from good glass, it’s what the person behind the camera and what they see….
I do, but not according to this article. 7DMk(anything) is not better than the 5DMk(2 or 3) in any regard except FPS. And it’s not full frame, which IMHO takes it out of the running for best camera.
Sounds technical 🙂
Mine didn’t make the list either….Nikon D610.
The best cameras in the world? According to whom?
No way $600 Fujitsu is better than nikons D4,D3s, or even the D3 for that matter (I happen to own all 3. So obviously I’m not biased in any way.)
Don’t care. Mine works for me.
All mirorless camera. It is the futur.
I have a Nikon. Let’s all be friends 😉
The best camera you can have its the one you have with you
ya got that right Lee and how well you know how to use it also
Best camera? Is it the camera or skill?
What about the Canon 5DM3? Or the new Sony’s (A7/A7R/A7S) or the A6000? I TOTALLY beg to differ with this list!
I have #2 on the list so I feel pretty good about my purchase.
Canon 6D with tons of great glass and Sony a6000 with some overpriced Zeiss primes for when I fully commit to mirrorless next year.
WORD: Due to upgrade,help
Picked up a Cool Pix P 900 a few months ago.86 X zoom. Been using it more then my DSLR’s It’s a lot of fun snapping photos up to and sometimes longer then a mile away.
No because I can’t afford $5-$6,000 for a camera. I use mine as a hobby.
In my mind any camera in my hand is the best in the world! I enjoy the art of photography immensely!
This is click junk. Who wants to click through endless pages that are 2/3 ads?
What a pile of Kak this article is….
What garbage.
You better tell all the sports and wildlife guys shooting with 1Dx’s and D4S cams they are not in the top ten..lol.
Try and take this with all of the top ten and see how you go I can only see one camera that would have a chance to take it.
2. Canon EOS 7D Mark II
Pro performance on an amateur budget, and perfect for action
If i ever get mine back for the repair shop where it has gone to get atrocious focus problems sorted out, i may be able co check to see if it is any good.
Owning the best camera in the world doesn’t help if you don’t have the skills. No one wants to hear that, just buy the most expensive camera out there, waste your money because you cannot use it
I hope you feel better baby girl.

I own the best eye in the world. Why would I need a fancy camera to get in the way?

Boo. All my cameras are better than those. Well maybe you could argue about the 6D. Looks like these are the “best cameras under $2000, plus a crappy Nikon :)”
There are no crappy Nikons only crappy Canons. 🙂
There are no “crappy” camera brands, only crappy photographers trying to push their preference on others, I’ve shot with more brands than I care to remember and the best ones were the ones tha gave me the results I wanted When they didn’t it was probably more my fault than the brand of camera
Oh dear…
That’s why all professional sports and outdoor photographers use Canon right? Only hipsters afraid to leave a studio use Nikon.
Ha! A friend of mine who shoots for NBA Photos once went from Nikon to Canon…After one season and $28k, he went back to Nikon.

Crap!
There have been three (or more) upgraded models of my camera released since I got mine, so I’m guessing no.

funny no mention of the Nikon D750 which I own…it has one of THE best low light focusing/ high ISO performance of any camera….
I am hoping to get one someday.
It’s an amazing camera?
D750 is no comparison to D700( With MBD10 ) for action sports, way too slow fps. Agree on lo light situations. Had to send mine back TWICE for repair, of same problem. ( On Nikon’s dime ! ) Will use it till it dies. the4n on to Fuji XT1 or whatever is their latest, cause by then, they will gave good glass for it !

I find it very interesting that the Canon 1DX is not mentioned in this article, however by most photographers standards it is one of the highest rated, next to…Hassleblad which….is not even mentioned along with many others that certainly outshine the Nikon….

I use cheap and outdated cameras. I have some of the best photos ever. I am glad that people with better more expensive cameras leave me alone.
Good for you. Coming from the “Old School” (I went to photography school in 1965) If your camera had something wrong you took it to be repaired and you had it for a few more years, now is all this nonsense about which is the “best one”. To me ..is the one you have between your eyes. Crap doesn’t change at 2 zillion MPs

Why is it so difficult to “JUST SEE THE LIST YOU ADVERTISE”, without SOOOOOOO much advertising and diversions to other stuff?????????? I get it that there is some ads, but by the time I get to what I wanted to read, …….I don’t give a shit anymore!!!! So I “UNLIKE” your page!!!

If I bring my D700 and $110 to the camera store will they set me up with a D810?

Better to have an inventive mind than a great camera…..but cool when you can have both.

This list is a joke. No Nikon D4s..? Really? Hell, the D7200 out performs 7 cameras on the list.

if I knew how to use all the settings..lol
What a stupid list.
the camera is just a tool – the most expensive camera cant help someone who cant operate it. and a skilled professional can create a beautiful work of art with a cheep unit/
Any list is just the opinion of one person or the group that happened to make a list of something. bob’s list will be different then Jane’s list or Henry’s list. I figured most people knew this but apparently not…
As some people have pointed out, the camera is just a tool. The “BEST” camera is the one you have with you.
Maybe we should be talking about being a good photographer. The equipment will only get you so far. Ansel Adams didn’t have what we all have but I doubt I’ll be seeing any of your work in galleries.
This is the personal opinion of the person who wrote the article. She prefers Nikon cameras. Tomato blah blah, it is a matter of what works for you and what you can afford. Bogus article.
The whole idea of “what is the best camera” is total BS. As stated by those above. I’ve been shooting since 1963and have heard this argument so much it’s sickening. Articles like this one are worthless junk, can you imagine not including Leica, Hasselblad or Pentax. What about Sony & Olympus? If you are not specifically talking about “high end” “high priced” “professional use” cameras how do you leave these brands out?
This one of the dumbest articles I have ever read regarding cameras. Must have been written at least two years ago. Their top cameras are already obsolete. Anyone with half a brain knows that DSLR’s are dead. It’s like buying a VCR or a cassette player. The top camera of 2015, according to D Preview, DXO, and every other magazine and computer web camera publisher had the Sony A7RII as the top camera and there was not a close second. I have sold my Canon 5D Mkii and the rest of my DSLR’s, or as I cal them “Bowling Balls”, and gone mirrorless and I have never been happier. My customers are very happy with the results also. My 5DmkII DSLR with a Canon 24-70 f2.8 lens and a flash weighed 9.5 lbs. My Sony A7RII with a Zeiss Batis 25 F2 with a flash weigh 3.5 lbs. Big difference when you are shooting a 12 hour wedding. The images are much better also. I still have my Canon lenses that I can use with a Metabones Mark IV adapter with results as good or better than with the Canon Body. Ever since I started using the Zeiss Primes, the Canon lenses take a back seat though.
Whilst I agree that some of the cameras listed were good Nikon D810 my favourite I’m not sure it’s accurate or such a thing exist anyway. For me the comments were the best and most entertaining lol
My Nikon D7100 and Sony A6000 good enough
