Speaker A
Hello everyone, welcome back to the Info Fotografi channel. This year, there are many choices of mirrorless cameras, from affordable to premium. From beginners to professionals. Want to make photos, videos, there must be a suitable camera choice for you. But
Speaker A
from so many cameras, which one is the most suitable? In this video, I will discuss the 10 best-selling cameras
Speaker A
and most worth buying. I will discuss the main features of each camera, the pluses and minuses, and the reasons why each of these cameras is selling well and worthy this year. If you are looking for your first camera or want
Speaker A
to upgrade, watch this video until the end so you can save money and also help you choose the most appropriate gear.
Speaker A
But before that, don't forget to like and subscribe to this Info Fotografi channel. The first camera is the Sony ZV-E10. This camera is still one of the best budget vlog cameras in 2026. This camera has a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor,
Speaker A
4K 30p. The screen is fully articulating and has a built-in directional microphone that is excellent, can be used standalone, and is also equipped with a wind filter.
Speaker A
This camera also has a product showcase mode that is friendly for content creators. The autofocus is solid, and the Sony lens ecosystem is very broad and has a lot of choices. The main advantage of the ZV-E10 is its super
Speaker A
compact and lightweight body. The autofocus is extraordinary, especially when we compare it to the price class. It is also beginner-friendly, the image quality is solid and easy to use, especially for recording video. The downside is that it does not have
Speaker A
stabilization in its body. Videos still have a rolling shutter or jelly effect, especially if you are shooting very fast-moving subjects. Also, the ZV-E10 does not have a viewfinder. If you are looking to upgrade from a cellphone camera for creating content or videos,
Speaker A
I think this camera is very suitable. If you are just starting to create content and need a second body that is light and compact but produces reliable results, this camera is also worth considering. Next is another flagship hybrid APS-C from Sony, the Sony Alpha
Speaker A
6700. This camera has an APS-C sensor with 26 megapixel BSI technology and an AI-based autofocus system with excellent subject tracking. It also has a 5-axis stabilizer. It can record 4K video up to 60p and 120p with a slight
Speaker A
crop. Well, the screen is also fully articulating. Continuous photos are also fast up to 11 photos per second and the body is weather-sealed. The main advantage of the Sony Alpha 6700 is its autofocus system, which I think
Speaker A
is still the best in its class. The performance of this hybrid camera is very strong for both photos and videography. The body itself, if we look at it, is quite compact but still comfortable to hold or ergonomic. The
Speaker A
downside is that this camera does not have a joystick. The SD card memory card is only one and can sometimes overheat when we shoot long videos. The Alpha 6700 is definitely worthy for serious hobbyists and professionals who want a camera with a reliable autofocus
Speaker A
system and a compact size. In 2026, its features are still very balanced. Suitable for various types of photos and videos for travel, wildlife, vlogging, and so on. It can be said that the Alpha 6700 is currently a versatile camera. Next, we will enter
Speaker A
the realm of full-frame cameras, namely the Sony Alpha 7C II. The Sony Alpha 7C II has a full-frame sensor with a resolution of 33 megapixels. The AI-powered autofocus system has a stabilizer in the body up to 7 stops and can also record 4K 60p video with
Speaker A
cropping. The body is very compact. The ergonomic rangefinder model is better, especially the addition of the front area is very helpful for adjusting the settings. The advantages of the Alpha 7C II lie in the image quality, especially in low light, which is very
Speaker A
good. The autofocus and stabilization are also top-class. And the camera is very portable for a full-frame camera. The battery capacity is also large for a body this small. The significant drawback is the rolling shutter when shooting video. Well, this
Speaker A
is quite noticeable especially if the subject is moving very quickly. It only has one memory card slot, no joystick, and the viewfinder is quite small and the quality is not as good as the Alpha 7 IV. Street and travel photographers who
Speaker A
like small cameras but want a full-frame image sensor and high performance are certainly very suitable to choose the Sony Alpha 7C II. If you are looking for a more compact camera, with a retro design and also cheaper, the choice falls on the Fujifilm X-M5.
Speaker A
The main feature of this camera is that it has a unique, extreme image sensor and inside it has various film simulations that produce photos with a distinctive taste. The X-M5 has DPASM which will make it easier for beginners
Speaker A
or those who have previously used digital cameras with a mode dial. The video specs are high, it supports open gate up to 6.2K and the screen can be rotated in all directions. The autofocus system is also better than
Speaker A
the previous generation. The main advantage of Fujifilm cameras in general is that the colors and JPEG look good immediately from the camera, without needing too much processing or editing. I also think the video specs are very good for a price of just over
Speaker A
Rp million. The camera is also very light and has a unique design character. The downside is that the X-M5 does not have an in-body stabilizer. It does not have a viewfinder and because the body is very compact, the battery size is
Speaker A
also small. It is inevitable that the X-M5's appeal lies in its price and design. In my opinion, the X-M5 is suitable for new generation content creators and friends who need a camera for everyday use for photos or vlogging.
Speaker A
If you need a more sophisticated Fujifilm camera for creating more serious content or for work, the Fujifilm X-S20 is the answer. This camera has the same 26-megapixel APS-C sensor as the X-M5, but already has an in-body stabilizer
Speaker A
with a power of up to 7 stops. The video also supports open gate 6.2K, 4K60 and also has a pop-up flash. The screen is also fully articulating and the battery is larger. The advantages of this camera are its strong and
Speaker A
excellent stabilization and video specs. Its ergonomics are also comfortable to hold for long periods and are also capable of being used for both photos and videos. The disadvantages of the X-S20 camera are that it does not have a
Speaker A
weather sealing, only has one memory card slot and the autofocus system for videos is sometimes still not sticky.
Speaker A
Although the X-S20 is not cheap and has been released approximately 3 years ago, it is still a favorite of many people looking for a hybrid camera that can produce characteristic photos and videos. This APS-C camera, the updated
Speaker A
Nikon J50, which is the second generation, can be said to be quite complete in terms of features and also its performance is getting better. This camera has a 20.9-megapixel APS-C sensor with the latest Nikon EXPEED 7 processor.
Speaker A
With this new processor, the autofocus system is much better than the first generation J50. The technology is derived from the Nikon Z9 or Z8 flagship camera. Capable of recording videos up to 4K 60p. It is also capable of shooting continuously up to 30
Speaker A
photos per second in JPEG format and has a fully articulating screen for recording from various angles and pre-release capture as well. So the main advantage of this camera is its fast and reliable autofocus performance. The body remains compact with good
Speaker A
ergonomics. It is comfortable to hold for long periods and the current price is very good. Suitable for friends who like video photography, action and also for beginners. The main drawback of this camera is the resolution is rather low for this year's standards, namely
Speaker A
20 megapixels. It does not have a stabilizer in the body and the battery capacity is also mediocre. And also the choice of native Nikon lenses, especially DX, whose quality is not too much, but there are starting to be many
Speaker A
lenses from third parties.
Speaker A
Because with a price under Rp15 million , friends can get a camera with quite complete features and fast performance.
Speaker A
For those of you who like the quality of Nikon cameras, especially those with a higher position, but still relatively compact and not too expensive, the Nikon Z52 could be your choice. This camera has a full-frame sensor with 24-
Speaker A
megapixel BSI image sensor technology and already has a stabilizer in its body. It also has two slots for memory cards for safe work and has a pretty good viewfinder. The camera can record videos up to 4K TV and 60p with minimal
Speaker A
cropping. The autofocus system is very sophisticated and much faster than the first generation J5 and the body is also sturdy with weather shield. The advantage of the Nikon J52 is that it is comfortable to hold and use. The
Speaker A
image quality is generally sharp, contrast, in both bright and low light conditions are equally good. The features are also quite complete and the price is also relatively affordable in the full-frame camera class. The downside is that the menu may feel a
Speaker A
bit complicated, especially for those of you who are beginners or have never used a Nikon camera before. And the autofocus system for video is not the best in its class. The Z2 is popular and sells well because of its good
Speaker A
quality and performance. Significantly compared to the first-generation Z5. It's not inferior to higher-class cameras like the Nikon Z6 series. This camera is perfect for those who want to upgrade to a full-frame camera. Finally , we'll also discuss the favorite
Speaker A
beginner camera from the popular brand, Canon. Yes, here we'll discuss the Canon R50 camera. This camera has a 24- megapixel APSC sensor and can record 4K 30p video. It can also shoot up to 15 photos per second and has a rotatable
Speaker A
screen. It also has a viewfinder and its design has beginner-friendly modes and menus. The advantages are that the autofocus and tracking system are very good for its class and price. The camera is lightweight, affordable, and easy to use. Many also like the colors
Speaker A
of Canon cameras, which are said to be bright and natural with good skin tones . The downside is that this camera doesn't have in-body stabilization. The body material feels less solid because it's mostly made of plastic and the
Speaker A
buffer is small. So if you take consecutive photos, it quickly loses its breath and the lens ecosystem is not as extensive and rich as other brands 'camera systems. The Canon R50 is known for its simple, compact design , and very affordable price. The Canon
Speaker A
brand is also very well-known for photographers from beginners to professionals. The Canon R8 is a compact and lightweight Canon full-frame camera and one of the most affordable. This camera has a 24- megapixel full-frame sensor, has a very good dual Pixel AF autofocus system.
Speaker A
The R8 can also record 4K 60P video without cropping so the results are very sharp and also has a very fast continuous shooting speed of 40 photos per second with an electronic shutter.
Speaker A
The main advantage of the Canon R8 lies in its autofocus system and image quality which is sharper and better in both bright and dark conditions compared to its predecessors, such as the Canon EOS RP. Well, for photos and
Speaker A
videos, it is also good even though it is an entry-level or beginner full-frame camera. The downside of the R8 is that it does not have a stabilizer like the Canon R6 series.
Speaker A
The battery is relatively small and also has a rather large capacity. It has a single memory card slot, the build quality is also made of plastic and the lens ecosystem is not as extensive as other brands. Despite its
Speaker A
limitations, its photo and video performance is comparable to higher-end and more expensive cameras. Those who prefer a compact, affordable full-frame camera with impressive performance should consider the Canon EOS R8. Last on this list is the Panasonic Lumix S52
Speaker A
. This camera boasts a 24-megapixel full-frame image sensor. Its face-detection autofocus is incredibly fast for subject tracking, and its stabilizer is excellent. It's perhaps the best compared to other brands for both photos and videos. Its video capabilities are generous, with 6K and
Speaker A
4K60 shutter speeds, an active fan, and more comprehensive video tools than other cameras in its class. The S 52's main advantage lies in its video capabilities, which I consider the best in its class. It has strong stabilization, good ergonomics, and a
Speaker A
very reasonable price. For great photos , the results are sharp, the colors are bright, and for those of you who want to print very large photos, this camera can produce 96-megapixel images as long as the subject being photographed is
Speaker A
not moving and the camera is steady on a tripod. The downside of the S52 lies in the autofocus for very fast-moving subjects. It is admittedly still a bit behind compared to other brands and also the Elmount lens ecosystem is
Speaker A
still not as extensive as the choices from Sony or Nikon. But Elmount lenses are constantly evolving. In my opinion, this camera is very worthwhile for friends who are hybrid shooters, friends who are photographers or videographers at the same time. Its
Speaker A
versatile capabilities make the S52 a good choice for friends who want to maximize their budget. So, those are the 10 most popular cameras and worth buying in 2026. Starting from the beginner-friendly Sony Jet 10 to all-round options like the Sony Alpha
Speaker A
6700, Nikon J52 or Lumix S52. For those of you who are more serious, for example for hobbies or work, the most suitable choice depends on many factors such as your budget and whether you need a full-frame camera or APS is also
Speaker A
okay. The priority is more on photos or videography and also the choice of lenses. From what I discussed earlier, what is your favorite camera? Which camera is more interested in? Write it in the comments section. Links and the
