Photojournalists look for the best camera that they can get to shoot high-quality images. They look for excellent sharpness, true colors, and exceptional handling, ensuring they can capture the best images when the moment presents itself. Nothing but the best will do for them. In this discussion, we’ll look at a mix of mirrorless and DSLR cameras highly sought after by photojournalists.

Sony a9 II

The Sony Alpha a9 II is the latest flagship mirrorless camera in the Sony lineup. It’s the best Sony mirrorless to have rolled out of the Sony assembly line. It’s powered by a 24-MP sensor and has a number of improvements over the outgoing Alpha a9. These include an improved mechanical shutter capable of firing 10 fps, an improved ergonomic design that includes a better grip, and a dual UHS-II card slot that allows you to record images much faster. Additionally, the new camera allows voice memos to be attached to your pictures or burst of images so that you can remember what caption to use for these images at a later time. To add some info about the camera’s ergonomics, the buttons and dials have been raised for easy use. The Sony a9 II is one of the best cameras for autofocus. Subject tracking performance is one of the best in the business.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

The 5D Mark IV is the latest iteration of the classic camera that has a cult following among professionals and amateurs alike. The 5D Mark IV uses the same technology as the 1D X Mark II. One of the highlights of this camera is the sensor’s on-chip digital-to-analog signal conversion that uses a new algorithm that suppresses noise and improves the overall dynamic range of the camera. Also, an important aspect of the camera is that it uses a dual-image processor. A DIGIC 6 and a DIGIC 6+ image processor splits the tasks of metering and the rest of the functions so that the overall functionality of the camera is super-fast.

Canon EOS R5

The Canon EOS R5 is touted as the best Canon to have come out of the Canon assembly line. It has one of the best autofocusing performances of all Canon cameras and can give the Sony a9 II a run for its money. Also, the EOS 5 has a class-leading image stabilization system rated for up to 8 stops. Handheld imagery is a breeze; you don’t have to push the ISO too far to capture an image, especially in low-light conditions. Although photojournalists don’t care for video work, it’s pertinent to mention here that the EOS R5 has an 8K video shooting capability. The still shooting ability powered by the 45-MP sensor ensures that you can capture a lot of detail in your frames. Plus, the new autofocusing functionality is fantastic, and the new eye autofocusing works well for human and animal subjects, making it one of the best cameras for shooting animal portraits.
