They are available across various price ranges.

Identify your specific needs before making a purchase.

Prior to making a purchase, it's essential to consider a few crucial factors:

[{"selector":"#anim-79753cdb-3c78-411f-bbeb-affb4c6aea18","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f0922f9-f356-45b6-879c-9b03097d014a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Choose a sensor size (APS-C, full frame, or micro four-thirds) based on your requirements.

[{"selector":"#anim-315c678a-4201-4680-bacd-3238f6dc81cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0be8f833-4471-4899-92a8-04798f468075 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-11.956521701435094%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Ensure ample lens options for the chosen mount type.

Check for 4K60fps recording capability.

[{"selector":"#anim-f110d483-da3c-4272-b19f-68d1fea6a475","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15d918a1-2e8e-4bd4-9218-11454f06c522 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Megapixel count isn't the sole indicator of quality (e.g., Sony A7SIII with a 12MP sensor).

[{"selector":"#anim-13a6cc22-a93a-4ebc-81d3-cb51c05f9aef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ced7f85-d8e8-4897-86fe-dfd6a5683d34 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Look for cameras with in-body image stabilisation.
