Roskachestvo, together with the International Assembly of Consumer Tests, severely tested almost a hundred camera models in order to find the very best among them. Moreover, not only elite professional cameras were tested, but also quite affordable for the average consumer.
Interestingly, the brand as such does not guarantee 100% camera quality. It all depends on the particular camera. So we will tell you about the ten best cameras of 2019 according to the rating of Roskachestvo. Each of them scored the most points in their category.
10. Nikon D500
The fastest and easiest to use SLR camera.
Score: 3,008
The average price is 97,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- amateur slr camera
- Nikon F mount
- no lens included
- 21.56 MP matrix (APS-C)
- 4K video shooting
- 3.2 ″ swivel touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- weight without batteries 760 g
Opens the list of the best camera models according to Roskachestvo is unusually fast and at the same time very easy to control camera. Just 0.2 seconds after activation, you can begin to capture the surrounding reality. And for the video it will take only 2.3 seconds to “warm up” the device.
Using this SLR camera is a real pleasure. Nikon’s engineers made sure that the user could not only take pictures (by the way, this camera does well - the pictures are clear, sharp, textured), but also do it in comfort.
Pros: photos can be processed directly on the camera: crop, enlarge, reduce. Separate praise deserves a screen that does not lose clarity even with strong tilts. It is important that you can shoot on the Nikon D500 not just for a long time, but for a very long time - the battery can withstand up to 1200 shots.
Cons: XQD card - a rare and expensive format, one such card will cost the price of a well-preserved used DSLR. Well, the video quality of the camera, frankly, does not shine.
9. Canon EOS 2000D
The best amateur SLR camera.
Rating: 3,237
The average price is 22 990 rubles.
Specifications:

- Canon EF / EF-S mount
- no lens included
- 24.7 MP matrix (APS-C)
- Full HD movie shooting
- screen 3 ″
- Wifi
- weight with batteries 475 g
Although the Canon EOS 2000D is primarily intended for beginners in the world of photography (its resolution is small, the display is not rotatable and its price is small), however, there is one area in which this model is a leader. This is the quality of the video. It is capable of shooting even in poor lighting conditions, although color distortion will inevitably appear on the film under such conditions.
Pros: the most inexpensive SLR camera in the top 10 best cameras of 2019, there is a wireless NFC module. It features a comfortable grip.
Minus: although the camera shoots well, only the maximum available video resolution is 1080p. Agree, this is somehow not very serious. Group photos may be blurry.
8. Nikon D850

In our century of social networks, when the main goal of shooting is to upload a photo online to the delight of friends and the envy of enemies, the quality of the shots, and, in particular, portraits, comes to the fore.
And here the Nikon D850 has few competitors. This camera allows you to take great portrait shots with or without flash. Photos are taken with natural colors, good texture and a minimum of digital noise.
Pros: experts of Roskachestvo note the excellent work of the model in both manual and automatic modes. There are two slots for memory cards, a headphone jack and an optional GPS module are also provided.
Cons: there is no built-in flash, in low light a lot of noise appears, and when shooting video, there are problems with exposure.
7. Fujifilm X100F
The best compact camera.
Rating: 3,764
The average price is 90,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- compact camera
- 24 MP matrix (APS-C)
- Full HD movie shooting
- screen 3 ″
- Wifi
- weight without batteries 419 g
Fujifilm X100F belongs to that class of cameras, which are popularly called “soap dishes” by people. And their scientific name is “compact model”. Manufacturers do not make removable lenses for "soap dishes", but prefer to concentrate on their strengths.
And, oddly enough, they have nothing to do with the actual shooting. It is weight and size. The fact is that nobody wants to carry around a powerful DSLR with many removable lenses on vacation.
The second feature of "compacts" is the simplicity and convenience of the menu, which even a child can understand.
However, the Fujifilm X100F is capable of more. The camera received high marks for the quality of the shooting - however, in daylight, when it is very difficult, in principle, to take a photo.
Pros: a feature that testers really liked is image stabilization. So, even on the run somewhere in the thick of the city, you will get clear, not blurry photos.
Minus: battery life is enough for 300 frames, so do not forget to recharge the device in between shots.
6. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 Mark 4
The best pseudo-mirror camera.
Rating: 3,820
The average price is 98,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- super zoom camera
- 21 MP matrix (1 ″)
- shooting video
- 25x optical zoom
- 3 ″ rotary touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- weight without batteries 1050 g
- macro mode
The pseudo-mirror apparatus is a kind of intermediate link between “soap dishes” and “mirrors”. Their main distinguishing feature is a built-in non-removable lens with a large zoom (an average of 50-60x magnification). From the compact, they adopted the ease of control, and from the DSLR, the possibility of manual settings.
Laurels of the best pseudo-mirror camera of 2019 went to Sony models. It stands out not only for the price (which in itself already inspires), but also for the quality of the shooting. At the same time, the owner of the Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 Mark 4 does not need to bother with interchangeable lenses, because the device itself is capable of delivering excellent image quality.
Pros: owners are pleased with both excellent functionality and excellent autofocus with their own lever on the case, 4K video format and, of course, megazum.
Cons: alas, you have to pay for universality. Not only video, but also photos suffer from noise.
5. Panasonic LUMIX S1R
Better image stabilization.
Rating: 3,919
The average price is 260,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- interchangeable lens camera

- no lens included
- 50.44 MP matrix (Full frame)
- 4K video shooting
- 3.2 ″ swivel touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- waterproof housing
- weight without batteries 898 g
To use such a camera for an amateur or even a semi-professional is like shooting a sparrow from a cannon. First of all, it is intended for professionals who need to maximize image detail so that it is as clear and stable as possible.
Everything in this model is subordinate to this goal - as a rotary display, which is able to rotate not only left and right, but also up and down, and a high shutter speed.
Pros: the camera is equipped with memory cards of the XQD format, which can record high-resolution video and bitrate without problems and at high speed.
Minus: the face recognition system and panoramic shooting are a little lame.
4. Fujifilm X-T3
The camera with the best color rendering.
Rating: 4,031
The average price is 99,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- interchangeable lens camera
- Fujifilm X Mount
- no lens included
- 26.1MP matrix (APS-C)
- 4K video shooting
- 3 ″ rotary touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- weight without batteries 489 g
Do you want to not bother with the manual mode, but at the same time get bright, rich photos with adequate color reproduction? Then your choice is the Fujifilm X-T3. This good mirrorless camera received the highest marks of Roskachestvo for natural colors when shooting in automatic mode.
Pros: excellent autofocus, the memory card can withstand even recording 4K video with a high bitrate for half an hour. The excellent screen, the convenient viewfinder, and even the sound recording quality are also pleasing.
Minus: a common flaw that even the top 10 best cameras have in the top 10. This is an unpleasant yellowish tint when shooting in low light conditions. In addition, the camera is very heavy, so if you decide to buy removable optics for it, you will have to take care of installing a grip magnifier.
3. Sony Alpha 7 III
The best mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses.
Rating: 4,092
The average price is 150,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- interchangeable lens camera
- Sony E mount
- no lens included
- 44 MP matrix (Full frame)
- 4K video shooting
- 3 ″ rotary touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- weight with batteries 657 g
Let's move on to the top three cameras with the most points in the ranking. Not surprisingly, they all belong to the mirrorless class. This is the most popular type of camera now, and among the cameras of this class tested by Roskachestvo there were more than half.
One of the “experimental” was a mirrorless camera from Sony - model Alpha 7 III. Sony engineers improved the already good Alpha 7 II model, adding to it the means to compensate for low light - a sensor and an image processor. The autofocus system has also undergone processing, and the shooting speed has significantly increased.
Pros: like other expensive cameras, the Alpha 7 III has all the modern fancy stuff like Wi-Fi, 4K video shooting. And even a joystick, with which you can focus the image! In general, a great camera for those who can afford it.
Cons: Like other mirrorless cameras, the main problem with the Alpha 7 III is its constantly working electronics. This means that the battery will drain quickly. Also, for a device of such a high class, having only one slot for an additional memory card is at least strange.
2. Nikon Z7
The best among expensive mirrorless cameras.
Rating: 4,143
The average price is 220,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- interchangeable lens camera
- Nikon Z mount
- no lens included
- 46.89 MP matrix (Full frame)
- 4K video shooting
- 3.2 ″ swivel touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- weight without batteries 585 g
Nikon Z7 is a leader not only in the quality of shooting, but also in price. Only one camera will cost 220 thousand rubles, but if you want to buy removable lenses for it, you will have to fork out another 60-70 thousand. However, this mirrorless camera with a megapixel resolution of 45 MPa is worth it.
And although it can not be called small and light, it is very convenient, even when circumstances require changing lenses in weight.
Pros: excellent viewfinder, excellent color reproduction of the monitor. It’s even possible to adjust the sound recording while shooting a video! In general, the Nikon Z7 has earned the title of best among the most expensive cameras.
Cons: In pursuit of super quality, Nikon engineers decided to sacrifice user convenience. And they made a specific mount on the lenses. This means that the lenses should also be only from Nikon. However, craftsmen have already pricked themselves around this limitation with the help of adapters. Well, only one slot for a memory card will not be enough.
1. Nikon Z6
Best in terms of price and quality.
Rating: 4,214
The average price is 125,000 rubles.
Specifications:
- interchangeable lens camera
- Nikon Z mount
- no lens included
- 25.28 MP matrix (Full frame)
- 4K video shooting
- 3.2 ″ swivel touch screen
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- weight without batteries 585 g
No matter how cool the Nikon Z7 is, the previous version, the Z6, still remains the best. This best mirrorless camera in 2019 scored the most points according to experts from Roskachestvo. And, by the way, it costs half as much as its “descendant”.
Although the resolution of this model is not very large, it shoots excellently even in low light (at dusk and at sunset). And differs thoughtful ergonomics. Managing the Nikon Z6 is not easy, but very simple: it is easy to remove and put on lenses, simply remove the battery (it’s no secret that many, even expensive, cameras have difficulties with this).
Pros: Nikon Z6's photos come out just superb - textured, crisp, with excellent exposure. You can shoot video in 4K resolution.
Cons: When connected to the iPhone, there may be difficulties. And is it really so difficult to put another slot for a memory card in the camera?
