Which are the best cameras and lenses you can buy right now? The answer depends upon who you ask, but according to the 16 photography magazines and websites listed on the right of this page (which includes AP) the selection will be found on the following eight pages. These 16 panellists form the photography group within the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), a collective of 56 special-interest magazines and websites from 30 countries around the world, covering 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 a founding member of the organisation, back in 1982, AP is an integral part of EISA’s Photography Panel, and we work closely with our fellow panellists, all of which are among the most respected in their home countries. To ensure that the winning products are truly worthy of your hard-earned money, each 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.
While each country has its own preferences for which product features and qualities are important, there is often a strong consensus as to which cameras and lenses should be recognised with an award. Read on to discover this year’s selection.
