The camera market in 2026 is genuinely the best it has ever been at the entry level. Cameras that would have cost $2,000+ two years ago are now available for under $1,000. Here are the five we recommend most often.
- Sony ZV-E10 II — Best overall for YouTube and social
- Fujifilm X-S20 — Best for film simulation and colour science
- DJI Osmo Pocket 3 — Best for travel and run-and-gun
- Canon EOS R50 — Best for beginners transitioning from phone
- OM System OM-5 — Best for outdoor and adventure shooters
