Digital Camera

Full-frame mirrorless makes up most of this lineup, and there's a clear split between bodies built for stills, video, or a mix of both. Sony's a7 IV and a7R V lean toward resolution and autofocus for photographers, while the a7C and ZV-E1 trade some of that for a smaller, lighter body aimed at vloggers and run-and-gun shooters. Canon's R6 Mark III sits as the hybrid all-rounder of its lineup, and Panasonic brings the widest spread, from the compact, travel-friendly Lumix S9 up through the higher resolution S1R II and the video-focused GH7, which still uses the smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor format rather than full-frame.

A few standouts worth knowing about, the Nikon ZR 6K is a newer cinema-focused camera built with RED's color science, and several Panasonic Lumix models come bundled with kit lenses if you'd rather not buy a body and lens separately. Prices range from AED 4,439 for the compact Canon PowerShot G7 X III up to AED 23,275 for the higher end full-frame bodies, so budget and intended use (stills, video, or both) are the two main things to weigh before choosing.
