Though it's now been succeeded by the Sony α7 IV, the Sony α7 III is still a very capable camera with all the features you need to take great landscape shots. For that reason, we've focused on more attainable models that we've actually tested and that would suit most users, taking price into account as well as overall performance and features. For other options, see our recommendations for the best cameras for photography, the best travel cameras, and the best cameras. We've tested over 70 cameras, and below you'll find our recommendations for the best cameras for landscape photography for most people to buy. It's worth mentioning that the very best landscape photography cameras are high-end models aimed at pros and hobbyists, the likes of which most people can't reasonably afford. A camera's overall performance varies drastically depending on its lens. Your lens influences the amount of light entering the camera, an image's depth of field, autofocus behavior, and stabilization performance. As a general rule, it's better to invest in a less expensive camera body and higher-quality lenses than it is to invest in an expensive camera body and cheap lenses. That said, for the sake of consistency and user-friendliness, we currently test our cameras with their standard kit lenses. Portability, battery life, and weather-sealing are also important considerations depending on your needs and preferences, whether you're hiking up mountains or capturing scenic views while traveling.Ībove all, the lens you use will have a big impact on how your landscape photos turn out. While a higher megapixel count can help, most modern cameras can turn out great images with plenty of dynamic range regardless of sensor size and resolution. Instead, image quality is a top priority. Unlike wildlife photography, autofocus and speed are less important. There are a ton of very capable cameras on the market today, but landscape photography has its own set of requirements.
