Is in-body stabilization essential? Maybe not for stills photography, though it has some definite advantages. Video is a different matter, especially in cameras designed for video beginners, YouTubers and novice content creators. This is an audience that doesn’t have time for tripods, doesn’t want to mess with gimbals and doesn’t understand why their new camera is worse than their phone. So which mirrorless cameras don’t have IBIS in 2026 and is it a problem?
Leica
Leica is one of the best known prestige brands in photography. It has been making its legendary Leica M rangefinder cameras and lenses for decades but has kept them up to date with the latest digital technologies. Leica also makes compact digital cameras and professional/expert mirrorless cameras in association with Panasonic.
What are the best compact digital cameras to get in 2026 IF ANY?
We’re in the middle of a compact camera boom. It started with the TikTok celebrity Fujifilm X100 VI, continues with the barely refreshed Canon PowerShot G7 X III and has scooped up a whole raft of second-rate compacts from yesteryear and bargain-bin point-and-shoot Amazon specials that anyone can afford and no-one should buy. What’s going on?
Why shouldn’t cameras have style? These are cameras that combine both style and performance
Would you ever buy a car you thought was ugly or horrible to drive? Would you ever eat food you don’t like in a restaurant because it’s cheap? And yet it’s a curious thing in photography that there are so many ‘experts’ who insist that practicality, value and features are all that count and all the rest is shallow vanity or just plain stupidity.
Which are the best cameras for manual exposure?
While all mirrorless cameras and DSLRs offer manual exposure controls, and some higher-end compact cameras too, they don’t all make it easy. So this guide is designed to highlight some of the camera features and designs you should look for if you want to reconnect with manual exposure techniques.
The Leica M EV1 is a Leica M with an EVF – SACRILEGE!
For those who don’t know, Leica M rangefinders are breed apart, a throwback to a camera design abandoned years ago by every other maker and about as far as you can get from a modern mirrorless camera. And yet, at a stroke, the Leica M EV1 has closed that gap and brought the Leica M design right up to date. So that’s got to be good, right? Well, not if you are Leica diehard.
Leica Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14-24 f/2.8, Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 f/2
These two new lenses are for Leica’s SL full frame mirrorless cameras. One is a constant-aperture 14-24mm ultra-wide zoom and the other is a fast 21mm prime lens. Both use the L-mount shared by Sigma and Panasonic Lumix S cameras.
How hard can it be to find an all-manual camera with actual DIALS?
We all know that any DSLR or mirrorless camera can offer both manual exposure and manual focus. What I’m actually asking is how many cameras offer these as external controls like old-fashioned film cameras? The answer, depressingly, is almost none.
