Landscape photographers need devices that offer the best resolution and dynamic range to capture vistas. Then, you can always slap on wide or telephoto lenses to ensure you get the image of your dreams. While many people choose full frame or medium format for this genre, there are some who can’t afford it. This is where APS-C, despite being smaller, can actually help you get the desired results. Here is a look at a few cameras that can change the way you look at things.
Fujifilm X-T5
The APS-C camera wins in multiple aspects. The X-T5 features a 40MP X-Trans 5 BSI sensor, 425 AF points, and 5-axis image stabilisation. This means you have a better chance of getting clearer images, even if you have to reduce the shutter speed. It can also record 4K videos at 60 fps, has a burst rate of 20fps, and also offers 60 minutes of shutter speed in bulb mode. Some of the things it is good at include producing great color, having solid weather sealing, and also having 7 stops of stabilization. As we said in our review, “The photos are sharp and detailed, yet Fujifilm’s lenses have a tendency to be less sterile than many modern optics. The updated processor helps the increase in resolution not create horror on high ISO images, though Fujifilm’s lower resolution options still perform a bit better here.”
Sony A6000
The Sony A6000 is a powerful APS-C offering from the company, which is also quite small. The device has a 24.3MP Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor, a BIONZ X processor, and 179 AF points. There is also a burst rate of 11fps, ISO up to 25,600, built-in flash, and video recording at full HD. Some of the things it excels at include autofocus, which is fast and intelligent, image quality, and high ISO output up to ISO 6400. The camera also feels great in your hand, and the EVF is spectacular to shoot with. The device has won our Editor’s Choice Award, too.
Canon R7
The Canon R7 is an all-around APS-C camera. It features a 32MP sensor, can shoot ISO up to 51,200, and can record 4K videos at 60fps. In addition, you get a 2.36m-dot EVF, 651 AF points, and 5,915 AF points if you select it manually. What we liked about the device is that it stood our test for various genres of photography. The image quality is exceptional, and the high ISO output is equally stellar. You also get great focus, and there is weather resistance, which makes this affordable package an absolute win.
Fujifilm X-H2
The Fujifilm X-H2 may be designed for wildlife photographers, but it is equally great for landscape shooters. That’s because it has an exceptional sensor and a good dynamic range. The device boasts a 40MP X-Trans 5 BSI sensor, a dynamic range of 13 stops, and the ability to shoot 8K videos at 30fps. There is also ISO sensitivity up to 12,800, a 5.76m-dot OLED EVF, and autofocus sensitivity to -7 EV. The APS-C camera is exceptionally quiet, offers clean images at high ISO, and you get some of the most dazzling colors from the sensor. The subject detection is good, the device is weather-resistant, and the battery life will last you a long time. As we said in our review, “For sure, this camera delivers Fujifilm’s best color that I’ve seen in years from the X series. And in many cases, it looks like very well exposed and processed medium format film.’
