“Real pros no longer shoot with DSLRs—they’re all into mirrorless!” That unvarnished view, recently expressed by the head techie at a major camera company, is a little over the top. However, it points to the culmination of a trend that began in 2007 when Sony released the first professional, full-frame mirrorless camera—the α7. There are a few “real pros” who still rely on their beloved DSLRs, and you can still purchase a new high-end pro-level DSLR. Among them are the Nikon D6 ($6,499.95) and Canon EOS-ID X Mark III ($6,449). Nonetheless, professional mirrorless cameras are now the overwhelming choice of working pros and increasing numbers of serious enthusiasts.
These professional mirrorless cameras are favored by tech-savvy pros because they provide continuous autofocus (AF) during the actual exposure. This is crucial in capturing crisp, full-res high-speed bursts as well as seamless video in 4K to 8K. Eliminating the mirror box also enables mirrorless cameras to be smaller and lighter. Additionally, their shorter lens-to-sensor distance allows optical designers to create smaller, lighter, higher-performance lenses. This also permits users to mount a huge variety of existing lenses via simple adapters.
Another huge factor: with the ascendence and near-total dominance of mirrorless cameras, manufacturers have put all their best and latest technology into their high-end mirrorless models. This includes state-of-the art BSI (backside-illuminated) CMOS sensors; ultrafast image processors; AF systems based on artificial intelligence (AI); advanced image stabilization (IS) systems; as well as superspeed shutters with high-speed sync. Let’s not forget ultrahigh-resolution, high-magnification electronic viewfinders (EVF) with blistering refresh rates; high-res, articulated touchscreens; as well as a host of special features unique to each brand. The sheer technical audacity of these cameras is evident when you peruse the specs and performance parameters of our picks for 2024.
Formidable Professional Mirrorless Cameras
Even if you limit your focus to top-tier professional mirrorless cameras, today’s models are an extensive, immensely varied, endlessly fascinating and eminently marketable category. Consequently, we couldn’t possibly cover all of them here. Other worthy contenders that come to mind include the Sony α 7R V, Olympus OM-D E-M1X, Leica SL 2, Nikon Z 7II, Fujifilm X-H2S and Canon EOS R6 Mark II. We hope that our write-ups inspire you to check them out. You’ll all be glad you did. Herewith is our abbreviated selection of professional mirrorless cameras.
Sony Alpha 9 III
Recently released, the Sony Alpha 9 III full-frame mirrorless camera is a technological tour de force with a host of advanced features and unique capabilities. Moreover, it’s the first and only full-frame mirrorless camera to incorporate a global shutter, which far surpasses the rolling shutter used for decades. As a result, it eliminates rolling shutter effects as well as banding, which often show up in mixed lighting and when shooting video. Thus, Sony extended the camera’s capabilities in sports and wildlife photography, photojournalism and more. This revolutionary sensor technology allows shooting RAW full-res images at up to 4K 120 frames per sec (fps) with no blackout. In addition, it achieves full flash sync up to the camera’s top shutter speed of an incredible 1/80,000 sec without HSS.
Sony mated its 24.6-megapixel CMOS sensor with a powerful Bionz XR image processor and an AI processing unit. Delivering precise, ultrafast AF, this integrated system provides a wide range of enhanced performance parameters. Among them are sensitivity settings from ISO 250 to ISO 25,600 in manual mode and extendable to ISO 125–51,200. The camera is also capable of 4K video capture at 60 fps with 6K oversampling; 120-fps high-frame-rate recording; internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording; and 16-bit RAW output via the full-size HDMI port. In addition, it offers S-Log 3, S-Cinetone and other picture profiles for image optimization in postproduction. And you can set a pre-capture function for stills to begin recording images to the buffer anywhere from 0.05 sec to 1.0 sec before the shutter button is fully depressed.
Other Notables
The ILC’s AI-based manual and autofocus system uses 759 phase-detection points for stills and 627 phase-detection points for video. It can also focus in light levels as low as -5 EV.
