The year’s best products

Welcome to the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) photography awards for 2022-23, revealing the year’s best cameras, lenses, and smartphones. EISA is a group of 59 special-interest magazines and websites from 30 countries around the world, covering six subjects: Hi-Fi, photography, mobile devices, in-car electronics, home theatre display & video, and home theatre audio. Each member is renowned for its expertise within its subject area, and for the rigour and integrity of its testing.

As one of the organisation’s founding members, AP is an integral part of EISA’s Photography Panel. We work closely alongside 15 other magazines from Europe, India and the USA, all of which are among the most respected in their home countries. To make sure that the winning products are truly worthy of your hard-earned money, every single one must have been tested in depth by multiple panel members. We don’t give awards based on quick first looks, or specs alone. Sometimes this rules out strong contenders that simply haven’t arrived for testing in time.

As with the previous two years, this year’s process for selecting the winners was based around a successful series of webinars and videoconferences. While each country has its own tastes and preferences for which product features and characteristics are important, there is often a strong consensus as to which cameras and lenses should be recognised with an award.
