Nikon Z50
In our review, we said:
“Ergonomically, the Nikon Z50 is near perfect. Nikon has set the standard for how small Mirrorless APS-C cameras should be here. Even with the huge NIKKOR Z lenses attached to this camera, it is easy to hold and use.”

Canon EOS M6 Mk II
In our review, we said:
“While some photographers may feel like this is a smallish camera, the Canon EOS M6 Mk II quite honestly feels very solid. Those of us who wear more massive mitts might think that this camera is too small. But those of us with more standardized phalanges won’t see a problem. This is a camera that you genuinely want to carry around with you everywhere.”

Pro Tip: These lightweight cameras are fantastic to run around with. However, not all of them are weather sealed. If you have a non-weather sealed camera, use some weatherproof covers. These covers will let you shoot in the rain, snow, and more. They’re affordable too. Keep some in your camera bag so you can shoot whatever the weather is doing.
Olympus OMD EM5 Mark III
In our review, we said:
“All things considered, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is a solid performer. While it may not have the latest and greatest tech under the hood, the sum of all of its parts culminates in a pleasant shooting experience overall. The EM5 Mark III’s autofocus is quick and accurate, the weather resistance is top-notch, and the image stabilization is arguably one of the best in the industry.”
