How to choose the best Sony camera<\/h3>\n

In our full list of Sony cameras, we\u2019ve got compact cameras and mirrorless cameras, and they come with different sized sensors. How to choose the right one?<\/p>\n

It all depends on your budget, as well as what you\u2019re planning to use the camera for. Compact cameras, with fixed lenses, prioritise portability and simplicity over versatility. Mirrorless cameras, meanwhile, allow you to change lenses, which opens up your options, but also incurs more expense.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the question of sensor size. Sony compact cameras sport 1-inch sensors, while its mirrorless cameras will use the larger APS-C (the A6XXX series) or larger still full-frame (the flagship Alpha models). Which is best? Well, a larger sensor confers all sorts of advantages, like better low light performance and dynamic range, but it also requires a larger, more expensive camera to wield. If you need help getting your head around it, Amy Davies has written a useful APS-C vs full-frame<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, it\u2019s best to look at the cameras\u2019 headline features and figure out which are most important to you and your shooting priorities. Want to capture wildlife images? Look for fast burst speeds and sophisticated autofocus systems. If you\u2019re looking to add video to your repertoire as well as stills, you\u2019ll want to look at the maximum video resolution and frame rate the camera can capture.<\/p>\n
