Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera with RFS 18–45mm Lens Kit Another good entry level camera, the EOS R50 is a compact and lightweight model that’s perfect for travel and everyday photography, vlogging, and content creation. Creating product reviews has never been easier with face-to-object autofocus, or use the 'Movie for Close-Up' function to switch focus to the subject nearest the camera. And IS mode will minimise any blur when shooting handheld. Video can be recorded in 4K/30p plus HDR with no image cropping, and auto-shooting modes will adjust settings according to a particular scene, ensuring your stills and video look top notch. Short videos and photos can be quickly transferred to a smartphone using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB connection, and the EOS R50 can also double as a webcam for livestreaming. Capture stunning sunsets and landscapes in panoramic mode, shoot high speed up to 15fps, and track humans, animals, and vehicles across the entire frame with subject recognition tech. The EOS R50 is also compatible with interchangeable RF-S and RF lenses for fast and intuitive shooting.

Whether you’re a beginner, a vlogger, or a pro photographer, shooting with a digital camera elevates your photos and videos to a whole new level. Choosing the right one in your price range can be tricky, so we’ve selected six models from entry level to premium with the features you need to capture stunning shots and footage. Words Bec Summer

Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Vlog Camera with 16– 50mm Lens Kit The compact ZV-E10 is an ideal grab-and-go camera for vlogging, with simple functionality and an inbuilt three-capsule mic for clear audio recording, even in windy conditions. Influencers and vloggers who shoot product review videos will love the dedicated 'Product Showcase', which automatically shifts the focus from face to the product that is held up in front of the camera. The no-fuss controls also include one-touch settings for slow motion and bokeh, fast autofocus for stills and

video, auto eye and subject movement tracking, and image stabilisation when shooting on the move. The ZV-E10 has an articulating touchscreen for shooting flexibility and a big APS-C sensor that’s ten times larger than your average smartphone, adding a professional sheen to your content. And livestreaming and videoconferencing is

easy – just connect the camera to a laptop. Shoot video in 4K/30fps continuously for up to 80 minutes with a fully charged battery, and rapid snap with 11fps burst shooting. The ZV-E10’s advanced feature set and ease of use make it a great entry level camera for aspiring vloggers and photographers.

Nikon Z30 Mirrorless Camera with 12–28mm Powerzoom Lens The compact Z30 is also designed for simple content creation and vlogging, with an APS-C size/DX-format image sensor – that’s 40 times larger than a smartphone camera – for capturing sharp and clear video and stills in any shooting conditions. Eye detection autofocus will track humans and pets – simply touch the subject you want to track in the onscreen display.

Shoot 4K video at 30p, 25p and 24p with no cropping of wide-angle footage, and Full HD for slow motion at 100fps. Plus, you can record continuously for up to 125 minutes, or connect to a power bank for an extended shoot. Short videos and photos can be wirelessly transferred to a smartphone or laptop using Nikon’s free SnapBridge app. The Z30’s controls are user-friendly; buttons and dials are all within easy reach, and settings can be customised for more direct access on the fly.

The three-inch vari-angle touchscreen gives you easy control and flexibility for framing and high and low angle shots, and inbuilt VR will eliminate any blurring caused by camera shake. And you can instantly add effects and colours to your photos and videos using 20 creative picture control modes.
