6 Coolest Cameras Available Today
The first half of 2016 has brought about some interesting trends in photography. These include the burgeoning use of flash, increasing use of black and whitephotography (again), and the use of complex background images. What's even more interesting than that is the new and improved offerings that have been or are rumored to be released this year. Take a few minutes to check out some of the more exciting models that you can get your hands on in 2016.
1. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 For Getting Up Close And Personal
This camera gives operators the ability to shoot both amazing video and still photos. It's easy enough to use for the mildly experienced lay person, but has enough features to impress the pros as well. In spite of the fact that it loses some aperture when zooming in, it is the zoom capability that makes this camera worth a second look.
2. Pentax Q-S1 For Going Mirrorless
The Q-S1 is compact, stylish, and perfect for social media users. It's a bit pricier than other cameras in its niche, but its quality definitely shines through. The main drawback to this setup is the fact that in spite of being marketed to social media users, the camera itself lacks built in wi-fi. Newer users will appreciate the improved autofocus of this mirrorless camera.
3. iPhone 7 With Dual Camera Single Camera Setup
The French website NoWherElse.FR recently leaked photos of what is rumored to be the iPhone 7. One of the most compelling things about these pictures is the dual camera single camera setup. It appears as if the dual camera setup appears on one side of the phone within an oval-shaped plastic capsule. It will be interesting to see if these images are giving photography enthusiasts a true sneak peek into what's upcoming, or if somebody is simply pulling our legs.
4. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 Compact Point And Shoot
In photography, ease of use has often been associated with lesser quality. Fortunately, this is not the case with the DMC-ZS50. This camera gives novice shooters and those who simply want a point and shoot camera both ease of use and high quality images. This is a great camera for beginners, kids just getting into photography, and as a casual, daily use camera.
5. SJCAM SJ5000X Elite Action Camera 4K 1080P Wi-Fi
According to Best Action Cam Reviews, this model receives a near perfect ranking. While it doesn't truly provide 4K capabilities, it does simulate them quite nicely which is plenty good enough for almost all enthusiasts. This feature will be more and more appreciated as media and electronics enthusiasts update their 1080 DP televisions to 4K models. This camera also has wi-fi capabilities that allows filmers to use their smartphones to take a look at what the camera is seeing. This unit also comes with a waterproof case for underwater filming. While many action cameras struggle when it comes to audio quality, this isn't the case here. Sound quality is comparable to most cameras.
6. GeekPro 4.0 Sport Action Camera
This unit is small, lightweight, and perfect for outdoors people who are on the go. If you are a hiker, runner, mountain climber, or diver, you'll want to bring this along on your adventures. This unit comes with a wearable remote control, but can also be controlled using a smartphone. It has 1080P resolution, time-lapse, and continuous lapse features. This is a great setup for someone who is looking for a camera to capture the action and share it on social media. If you want something easy to use and easy to transport, this is definitely the camera for you.
Conclusion
If one thing is clear, camera enthusiasts have a lot of great new models to choose from, and possibly some neat options to look forward to. Whether you are a seasoned professional, social media enthusiast, or just getting into the world of photography as a hobby, 2016 is panning out to be an exciting year.
