They say Nikon cameras lose autofocus while in motion. However, the host of the YouTube channel Olegasphoto denied this. As a professional photographer, he took photos of the girl in motion on Nikon and there were no problems with autofocus. Therefore, it is definitely worth paying attention to Nikon Zf, Nikon Z7, Nikon Z5, Nikon Z6 II.
Nikon Zf. This camera has quite a lot of features and is overall quite interesting. It has a rotating screen, but its design is dated. Therefore, it will only appeal to retro lovers.
Nikon Z7. This is a 2018 camera. Some say this is no longer valid. But in this context, it is important to consider for what specific purpose you purchased this or that camera model. Additionally, regular mirrorless cameras started to appear in 2018. Nikon Z7 has 45 MP resolution, good autofocus and a compact body. It can take high resolution photos and is inexpensive.
Nikon Z5. Zf costs even less than Z6 II and Z7. There is also a 30-minute video recording limit.
Nikon Z6 II. The disadvantages are low resolution and 30-minute video recording limit. Otherwise the camera is good. Perfect for reportage photography.
Among Canon cameras, only full-frame models are offered to choose from: Canon R, R8 and R6.
Canon R. This is a very simple camera by today’s standards. And it came out in 2018. It records video in cropped mode even in 4K. Still, it has very good autofocus, is very light, comfortable, has a good battery and is comfortable to hold.
Canon R8. In terms of “stuffing” it is similar to the R6 Mark II, but its body is from Canon RP and also has a weak battery, unlike the R and R6.
Canon R6. If you’re shooting sporting events or anything dynamic in general, it makes sense to use this instead of the Canon R. The R6 II is indeed better than the R6 I, but only in terms of video.

Panasonic S5 II. This is truly a hit of 2023 and the demand for it is very high. The disadvantages of this camera are a smaller optics selection compared to Nikon and Canon, as well as a slightly higher cost of optics. Another disadvantage of all Panasonic camera models is that they do not save settings separately for photos and separately for videos, and there is no compressed RAW format for photos. At the same time, Panasonic cameras have a large number of different audio settings: for example, the S5 II records 24-bit four-channel audio, which other devices do not do at all.
The expert also added three 2019 cameras to the selection: Panasonic S1R, Panasonic S1H, Panasonic S1. First of all, they have contrast autofocus, which not everyone will like. However, now the prices of these models have dropped considerably. The resolution of the Panasonic S1R is 47MP, but you get extremely detailed images. This version also features 4K 60fps video with almost no cropping. The Panasonic S1H model stands out in the video with active cooling and backlight on the front.
Fujifilm X-S20. This camera is Fujifilm’s most advanced camera yet. It also has good autonomy.
Fujifilm X-S10. The difference between it and the X-S20 released in 2023 is video shooting. And then on certain nuances. True, if you need the camera to work, the battery here will be quite weak.
Fujifilm X-T5. One of its weak points is the matrix.
Fujifilm X-Pro3. This is the most specific model. Included in appearance. It is suitable for retro lovers, but apart from that, it is a heavy and bulky camera.
