If you liked the features of other cameras in this review – but see their price as a hindrance, Fujifilm X-T10 deserves your attention. Despite being relatively cheap, it contains the same features which you can expect in high-end cameras

Fujifilm is undeniably one of the biggest names in camera manufacturing business as they have been satisfying their worldwide customers with their quality cameras.

Doubt our claims? Read the features to decide for yourself.

Features

Most of us always want a camera that is compact because it requires less storage space. The XT-10 is the right one for you. Being 6mm wide and 7mm tall, it won’t require much storage space at all.

The compact design of XT-10 doesn’t mean that it will give a plastic feel. For, in stark contrast to its counterparts, it has used a magnesium alloy shell which gives it a tough, expensive feel. Hence, while it isn’t weather proof, it is still sturdy enough to handle some abuse.

With its retro design, high-resolution automatic viewfinder, amazing image quality, and appealing control system, there is no denying that this camera has everything that you want for in a compact camera. This camera is also equipped with tilting LCD that enables you to take amazing selfies easily and also maintained its adored film emulations.

Turning our attention towards its performance, one thing which surprised me about X-T10 is the fact that it gives 100% coverage. Hence, if you are fed up of having to deal with dark spots on the corners of your images, the XT-10 will get you out of this awkwardness with aplomb.

This camera is very affordable for non-professional photographers, and it lets you take a stunning high-quality image with ease. Carrying it around won’t also be a problem because it is small and compact and can easily fit inside your bag.

• It’s small size and lightweight and is perfect for shooting concerts, hiking or taking nature shots.

However,

• One thing which users lamented about this camera was the lack of NFC. Despite the fact that it has a built-in Wi-Fi, the absence of NFC makes pairing up phones a little difficult.

Final Verdict

Talking about good cameras for selfies, not many come at the price as this one. So, if you are looking for a camera which offers high-end performance at a competitive price, go for the X-T10.

3. Sony Alpha A6000

Being the best seller on Amazon, this camera has become a darling of photographers. What’s more, its price is so less that you won’t belive that Sony made it.

Sony has always been one of the leading brands in cameras. Even the cameras in their smartphones are superb and are much loved by their consumers, no wonder their Sony Alpha A6000 is a big hit to camera enthusiasts and photographers.

Features

Starting from the grip, we couldn’t help but congratulate Sony on giving this camera a more pronounced grip. The texture is also nice, giving this camera an air of expensiveness despite the fact that it is one of the less priced options from Sony.

As for the shooting experience, the two manual dials – which sit atop the camera, make taking images a cinch. Instead of freeing up more room on the camera, they allow easy, one-handed grip, making accidental setting changes less likely.

The Sony Alpha A6000 has a 24mp CMOS sensor that takes stunning and high-quality stills. Taking selfies is also convenient with this camera because of its tilting LCD screen and built-in flash.

As for the performance, Sony never let their fans down. In order to make the colors wonderfully saturated, this camera has the “Picture Styles” option to let you adjust your colors. More importantly, even if you select the Picture Style, there will be a raw version of image available in case you need it.

Also, if you are fond of shooting in low lights, the camera won’t disappoint you. It may take a bit longer to adjust, but, the focus will be clear even in low light.

It is equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity which enables you to download the pictures you’ve taken to your smartphones. Sharing the pictures to your social media accounts will be done conveniently because of this.

It is a small camera that you can bring anywhere you want and won’t take up so much space in your bag. Taking quality photos will be easier than ever because of its size and grip, which enables you to hold with one hand conveniently.

•  Battery drains fast

What users have to say:

• One of the best cameras I have ever used for an affordable price.
• I am having a hard time grabbing the SD card because it is placed the battery case right against the door.
• The battery eats like crazy!

Even though, some users were not satisfied by the fact that Sony took away the touchscreen. Other than that, users don’t have many complaints about this camera.

Final Verdict

Despite the fact that it has a few niggles, the A6000 is one of the best product ever to have come out of the Sony workshop.

4. Canon EOS 70D

When you use a cameras long enough, you will come to know the reason why Canon is the market leader in this industry.

Providing excellent quality, maximum control over images and a responsive touchscreen, it has everything to deserve your hard earned money.

Canon EOS 70D is a point and shoot camera may be quite old but it still a great camera for bloggers and Instagram users as its features are still competitive with the new cameras today. This camera is great for photographers and videographers who want a high resolution and accurate autofocus in capturing videos.

When it was introduced for the first time, EOS 70D created a lot of buzzes due to the 20.2million pixels. However, it’s true and more than that this technology enables a lot of convenient functions, for example, faster focus both during video and Live view modes.

With their Live view technology, the video recording experience on this camera is nothing but great. It is equipped with Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast autofocus in live mode and video recording, which makes the camera’s video recording experience same as those with a camcorder.

Thanks to the textured coating, the grip gives you a secure feeling. Also, both the dials as well as the buttons are sensibly arranged, giving you complete control over the camera.

While you are swiping from one image to another in the review mode – or checking the sharpness of an image via the pinch-zooming mode, the responsiveness of this camera will allure you.

Its 20.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5+ image processor ensure that the quality of the pictures taken are superb and are Instagram-worthy. The only disappointment in this camera is the picture quality in low light condition as the camera does not work well in low light.

What We Liked

•  Shoots videos like a camcorder
•  Equipped with new technology, the Live mode
•  Built-in wireless technology
•  Touchscreen LCD with a great pixel quality

What We Didn’t Like

•  Not that great in low light
•  Camera body is quite bulky

What others have to say:

• Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a good quality DSLR.
• The image using the viewfinder is so much darker than the actual image.
• Amazing camera, a good buy.

Final Verdict

If you are an enthusiast photographer, this is a well-rounded camera that deserves your attention.

5. Sony Alpha A6300

Being the successor of A6000, it was a tough act for A6300 to replicate the performance of its predecessor. Thankfully, the fact that this camera makes it into this list is suggesting that the camera has come out with flying colors.

Have some apprehensions? Let the features of A6300 take care.

As you can tell, the first thing you will notice when holding the camera for the first time is its design. It won’t disappoint you.

A powerhouse camera from Sony with an affordable price and a candidate as one of the best cameras for travelers, bloggers, and Instagram users. The camera has a 24.2MP APS-C Exmor CMPS sensor that ensures accuracy and high image quality.

A plus point for its brilliant EVF. Though not earth shattering, the 2.4million resolution dots will allow you to preview images while taking burst shots. Therefore, it will help your photos to be brighter.

Also, the speed of this camera is incomparable. If you want to know, it takes 1.4seconds for you to go from off stage to capturing your first shot. Hence, when it comes to shutter lag, the A6300 has literally none of it.

It has a new 4D focus system that claims the world’s fastest autofocus acquisition time and can lock focus on the subject at 0.5 seconds. It also has a high-speed, nonstop shooting with AF/AE tracking at high speed up to 11fps.

Sony Alpha A6300 is equipped with an enhanced operability and ergonomics. There is now a shutter release button and a mode dial that makes the shooting experience even better.

It is also equipped with Wi-Fi, NFC and QR code for an easy transfer of files from the camera to your smartphones and other gadgets.

Finally, one feature which makes it best for Instagram users is its hinge – allowing you to tilt it both up and down.

What We Liked

•  A powerhouse camera that is just slightly above your camera budget
•  Resistant to extreme weather conditions
•  Video recording at 4K
•  Stunning image quality

What We Didn’t Like

•  Short battery life
•  Needs a front exposure dial
•  Low light performance lags

What others have to say:

• A “jack of all trades” camera.
• The best camera with an affordable price.
• You will need an extra battery for it to last for a day.

Final Verdict

That said, one thing which left us unease was its manual control dials. It contains two of them: one on the top plate while the other around the D-pad. Even though, the former is easy to access, the latter isn’t.

Although the manual controls aren’t up to our expectation, the A6300 has plenty of features to make up for this shortcoming.
