There are a lot of cameras on the market. In my opinion, and I have been selling cameras for over 42 years, these are the ones that we feel are the best value for the dollars spent. They are listed in no special order. I am here, along with our staff, to discuss which would be the best for your individual needs. Most cameras have great instant savings thru the end of the year and of course there is the forum extra we will do for you.
Olympus OM-5 with the 14-150mm II lens
Nikon Z5 with the 24-200mm lens
Canon R50 2 lens kit
Sony A7 IV lens depends on what you are shooting
The Olympus OM-5 and the 14-150 II lens are both weatherproof. Not normal in a crop sensor camera. Other brands have very few, if any, weatherproof options in the weatherproof game. The Olympus built in image stabilization is the best in the business and their cameras focus faster then any other cameras under $3000.
Key Features
The Nikon Z5 outfit was made for wilderness and birding photographers. Both the body and lens are weatherproof, the camera has 2 memory slots and built in image stabilization
Key Features
The Canon R50 2 lens kit is ultra compact and comes with a compact multi purpose and a compact telephoto zoom. It has image stabilization, flip out screen and can handle a light rain.
Key Features
The Sony A7 Mk IV is great for stills as well as videos. Full featured, compact and with a 33MP sensor will do double duty for both still photographers and videographers.
Key Features
Give us a call at 516-217-1000 to discuss what setup would be best for your needs. We carry the full lines of all the brands. I have listed the 4 best all around options at reasonable prices for each category.
Look forward to helping you
