Best smartphone camera - Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 edge

2016 will be a particularly interesting year for the digital camera market. And not only because in September the next specialized exhibition Photokina opens its doors, which is the most important platform for the presentation of all new photographic equipment.

Largest producers, such as Nikon, Canon, Sony have done a good job, and already in the first months of this year they brought to the market numerous new products that have already become popular. We have collected together all the cameras released in 2016 and present you with current and future hits.

Digital cameras 2016: new products from Nikon

2016 is off to a very good start for Nikon as a digital camera manufacturer. With the release of a professional camera, the company claims the title of “best DSLR camera.” Very fast continuous shooting, excellent resolution of 20 megapixels, modern options including 4K video shooting, together with a rich set of equipment, will fully satisfy the needs of any photographer.

A little smaller, but no less interesting: 8 years after the Nikon D300 semi-professional camera and its updated version D300S with an APS-C format matrix entered the market, the Japanese released the next model. An APS-C sensor with a resolution of 20 megapixels, a body like a professional camera and support for video shooting in 4K format evoke positive emotions in any photographer.

Compact cameras also have pleasant surprises in store for us. First of all, the new DL-series, which combines a relatively large 1-inch sensor (which Nikon calls CX) with a fast zoom lens. The start was made by three debut models, named after their lenses: standard zoom DL 24-85 mm F/1.8-2.8, wide-angle zoom DL 18-50 mm F/1.8-2.8 and mega-zoom DL 24-500 mm F/2.8-5.6 .

All Nikon DL series cameras have a 4K video mode, as well as a Bluetooth SnapBridge data transfer system. In conclusion, I would like to mention the camera Nikon KeyMission 360- Nikon's first action camera with 360-degree panoramic shooting and UHD support.

Digital cameras 2016: hits from Canon

Canon is also aiming for the throne of the best DSLR camera: the full-format model promises a little more high speed work and large quantity Video features including 4K at 60fps. Whoever doesn’t want to shell out about 500,000 rubles for a camera, we recommend that you take a closer look at SLR cameras The EOS 80D, as well as the EOS 1300D, are also very good models, but much cheaper. The same goes for a DSLR camera.

In terms of compact cameras, Canon is not doing very well at the moment. So far, together with PowerShot G7 X Mark II The Japanese presented only a couple of entry-level compact cameras of the IXUS and PowerShot series.

Digital cameras 2016: devices from Sony

Sony will offer us everything except boredom. Starting with , which combines pro-level performance with an APS-C sensor, UHD video shooting, and a splash-resistant magnesium body - all in a compact format. Additionally, Sony introduced a bridge camera. The combination of a large 1-inch sensor and a fast 24-600 mm film-equivalent megazoom lens sounds extremely promising.
