This price check concentrates on higher end photographic cameras for still and/or video use, as well as the more affordable Netflix approved cameras for video use. 25 November 2022 is Black Friday in the UK, where there are special deals available for a limited period.
Netflix approved cameras include the Canon EOS C70, Panasonic Lumix S1H, Sony FX3 and Sony FX6.
Hybrid cameras for both photo and video use, that lean more towards the video side but are not Netflix approved incude the Canon EOS R5 C and the Sony A7S III.
Flagship cameras that are good for high resolution still photography as well as video use include the Nikon Z9 and Sony Alpha A1.
For still photography, the Canon R3 and R5 are good cameras, with the R5 being higher resolution, and the R3 having some extra features such as integrated vertical battery grip and eye autofocus.
If you cannot afford the flagship cameras, the Sony A7 IV offers good performance for photo and video at a slightly more mainstream price.
Another alternative if you are reeling at the price of high end mirrorless cameras is to look at a top end DSLR from Nikon or Canon. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is especially well priced today. Also, the Nikon D850 is a great camera.
If you want a good stills and video camera and cannot afford a Nikon Z9 or Sony Alpha A1, you could step down to a crop sensor camera with the Fujifilm X-H2S, which has a new stacked sensor for quicker image acquisition and reduced rolling shutter.
Alternatives not listed here include the Panasonic S5, which is more modern, smaller, lighter and cheaper than the S1H, but does not have all the video features of the Netflix approved model. For high end photography, at a possibly slightly slower pace, Fujifilm has a number of medium format models that are well priced today.
