Frequently asked questions

What sensor size should I choose?
Larger sensors like full-frame gather more light and blur backgrounds more easily, but cost more. APS-C and Micro Four Thirds are lighter, cheaper and excellent for most everyday photography.
Are lenses interchangeable between brands?
Lenses use specific mounts, so they are generally not cross-compatible without an adapter. Factor the cost and choice of lenses for a system into your overall budget.
Is a mirrorless camera good for video too?
Many shoot high-quality 4K video alongside stills, though features like recording limits and stabilisation vary. Check the video specifications carefully if filming is important to you.
