We live in a digital era where we are always surrounded by screens. Whether it’s your laptop, phones, or billboards, everything around us is becoming digital every minute. For those who enjoy photography but are tired of looking at electronic viewfinders and LCD screens, here are some options that can help you. And they do not even cost you that much.
Nikon D850
The Nikon D850 is a DSLR that features a 45MP BSI-CMOS sensor, an ISO range of up to 102,400, and a 0.75× optical viewfinder. It features a 9fps burst rate, 153 AF points, and is capable of recording 4K videos. The viewfinder is large and impressive. Far more than Canon’s. The diopter range extends to -3, making it easy to work with. As we said in our review, “The best viewfinder of any DSLR we’ve used, but still not as great as many older medium format DSLRs and SLRs.” In addition, the image quality is fantastic, the touchscreen is good, and the color depth is also impressive. The weather sealing makes things better.
Leica M10D
The Leica M10D is an exciting camera that features a 24MP CMOS sensor, Maestro II processor, ISO range of up to 50,000, and a 0.73× optical viewfinder. The camera has a burst rate of 5 frames per second and lacks an LCD. “The Leica M10-D is made of metal, and without the LCD screen, one could argue that it is the most rugged Leica on the market,” as we said in our review. Other things it excels at include a quiet shutter, better battery life, and image quality that is just as good as the Leica M10.
Pentax 645Z
The Pentax 645Z is a medium-format camera featuring a 51MP CMOS sensor, PRIME III processor, and an ISO range of up to 204,800. It also features a 0.62× optical viewfinder, a 1,037,000-dot TFT LCD, and a burst rate of 3 frames per second. The camera is large, but it feels a lot like a DSLR. The camera offers beautiful colors and details, and the files are viewed at 100% revealing sharp details. “This is definitely a game-changing camera, and it should prompt a new gear battle in the digital medium format arena,” we concluded in the review.
Canon 5Ds
The Canon 5Ds is a DSLR that packs a 50MP CMOS sensor, with 252 TTL metering, and 61 AF points. The camera features flash sync, Scene Detection, a 1,040k-dot LCD monitor, and a 0.71× viewfinder. The 5D is also similar to the 5D Mk III; it features a large LCD, a beautiful viewfinder, and is weather-resistant. The camera offers great resolution and versatile features that allow you to recover the highlights, as well as color depth. The burst rate is fast, and you can utilize the crop factor to achieve greater reach with the lens.
