Of these cameras, only a handful truly pushed the envelope.
They are the most important digital cameras of 2014, those that improved the photographic medium with new possibilities.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the best digital cameras 2014 edition.
[about the author:Seamus Payneis a professional commercial and editorial photographer based in Florida.
Namely, a zoom lens, a higher-resolution sensor and SD card storage.
Could cameras become more stable on their own?
That sensor actually counteracts camera shake by adjusting its positioning with built-in motors.
Photographers lament the days of carrying around a simple, lightweight camera.
Its on this frustration that Fujifilm maintains a very successful business creating professional-grade, compact cameras.
Whether its used as a pros sidearm or a beginners first step, its quite a powerful little machine.
In my estimation, its the finest compact camera release of 2014.
Its also got itself a pretty nice pedigree to boot.
Why the Nikon D750 over the Canon 7D MKII?
Its an analog answer to the popularity of Instagram, providing old-school instant gratification.
It isnt, however, the entry-level new kid, trying to appeal to the first-time photographer.
Check its got a 28MP sensor.
Double check it will shoot 4K video out of the box.
Again, check it features a Back Side Illumination system to allow for low-noise shooting in low-light scenarios.
Fast, accurate autofocus?
No love for Canon or GoPro?
The GoPro Hero 4 is certainly remarkable, but is not a dramatic enough improvement over the previous generation.
Also, Fuji fans might wonder why we featured the X30 instead of the X-T1.
TheFujifilm X-T1is clearly the better camera, hands-down.
Yet for professional compacts, the recently-introduced Sony A7II takes the cake.
Its sensor stabilization system is truly ground-breaking, a milestone that no other camera in its class can match.
