Well, we’re referring to the best-selling and not conclusively about “the best”.
I notice that these are listed as “best sellers”. It’s obvious they cannot necessarily “the best cameras”.
Users would do well to purchase a camera dictated by their individual needs for the particular field of photography the camera will be used in. And that camera could be the “best camera” for them individually.
Guess I’m still old school, but if I were doing professional work now, my cameras would include one or two versions of Leicas, same with Hasselblad, an 4×5 outfit, an 8×10 view, all with good lenses and shutters. But then, my main field of work was in industrial photography. But I also did weddings, and other social events, as well as news work, and illustrative photography.
For those not planning on making a living with their camera, but want to enjoy taking pictures, then just look for the camera that will suit your own needs. But be sure to get one with a GOOD LENS! Can’t get good pics without a good lens!
Enjoy your camera, wether just an average man or woman, or a pro. And not all “pro’s” are really good pro’s! (Some are not even up to amateur level, even though they think they are.)
