Pretty much all mirrorless cameras—Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, to name a couple—with APS-C size sensors can take a damn fine picture these days. The a6000 does its best to stand out with a pinch of style and updated tech, but it’s still largely the same as the camera it’s replacing, 2012’s NEX-6
When Panasonic introduced the Lumix GM1
Fuji’s new top-of-the-line mirrorless camera is packed with functionality, aiming to smash through the shortcomings of i’s popular but imperfect X series line. The X-T1 has plenty of power, but can’t help tripping over its own feet.

By 2010, the mirrorless camera had become a model on the rise, with Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic each pushing their new compact interchangeable-lens systems on the world. But the very first mirrorless camera came years before, made by a company known mostly for printers.

Mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras have come a long way in only a few years. And after gradually layering on new features and capability, they’ve finally reached an apex in Sony’s new A7 and A7r models, both of which sport that big and beautiful bastion of image quality—the full-frame sensor.
Alongside their efforts to court enthusiast photographers, Fujifilm wants you to know that they have options for those with shallow pockets. This leaked image of the upcoming X-A1 hints at a mirrorless camera for just that sort of photographer.
