Full-frame cameras are important for many serious enthusiasts and semi-professional photographers. These devices can help them get better images, more clarity and sharpness, as well as work well in low light. However, full-frame cameras can be costly, and the resolution can further drive up the cost. So, we are looking at 24MP sensors, which are not just affordable, but give many younger professionals the chance to excel at their journey.
Canon R6 Mk II
The Canon R6 MK II is a full-frame camera that features a 24MP sensor, 4K60p 10-bit internal video, and 40 fps continuous shooting. It has 5-axis image stabilization, ISO up to 204,800, and 1,053 automatic autofocus points. There is also a 3.69m-dot viewfinder and a 1.62m-dot rear touchscreen LCD. The ergonomics are fantastic, the LCD is bright, and the image quality is spectacular too. Overall, the camera can be used by a variety of photographers working with different genres. As we said in our review, “Images are sharp, with accurate skin tones and beautiful colors. Videographers, hybrid creators, and still photographers will appreciate the Canon EOS R6 Mk II as the brand’s newest all-around workhorse. It’s excellent for portraits, landscapes, real estate, photojournalism, and street photography.”
Sony a9 II
The Sony a9 II is another wonderful camera with a 24.2MP RS Stacked CMOS sensor, 693 phase detection points, and autofocus sensitivity of -3. The device can also shoot continuously at 20 fps for up to 361 consecutive JPEGs or 239 RAW frames, 5.5 stops of correction, and a 3.69M-dot EVF. The Sony a9 II may be old, but it is good with image quality, has blackout-free shooting, great eye AF, and impressive battery life. As we said, “The sheer amount of tech and wizardry in this camera is enough to blow anyone’s mind.”
Nikon Z6 II
One of the popular offerings from Nikon, the Z6 II features a 24.5 MP full-frame CMOS sensor, ISO up to 204,800, and it can shoot continuously at 14 fps. The camera has 273 autofocus points, a 3,690,000-dot viewfinder, and a 2,100,000-dot LCD. The image quality is exceptional, the autofocus is great, and the image stabilization is perfect. The camera has good low-light autofocus, too, and the dual processors mean a bigger buffer. As we said in our review, “Because of the autofocus, the Z6 II is satisfactory for portraits, landscapes, travel, and the like — particularly for photographers who are already Nikon fans. It’s also a great tool for creatives working in both photo and video.”
Even though we reviewed the Nikon Z6 III, we’re choosing the predecessor for the cost savings.
These cameras are some options that a young photographer can look at. However, if you are looking for something under $2000, then here are some options you can choose from.
