BEST PROFESSIONAL MFT CAMERA Panasonic Lumix G9 II WHAT THE JUDGES SAID:
“The camera’s video and stills capture capabilities, which include 14fps for up to 170 consecutive stills in Raw format (mechanical shutter) and cinematic-quality DCI 4K and UHD 4K/60p with no time limit on recording takes, in addition to high- resolution slow-motion 4K/120p, really impressed the TIPA editors.”
BEST TELEPHOTO PRIME LENS Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS WHAT THE JUDGES SAID:
“Steadiness at lower shutter speeds; versatility in all focusing modes; lightweight for long working days; and fast – these are attributes sought by working pros in a tele lens when covering sports, special events and wildlife. TIPA editors agreed that this GM class lens ticks all the boxes.”
BEST PREMIUM CAMERA Leica M11-P WHAT THE JUDGES SAID:
BEST APS-C ENTRY-LEVEL CAMERA Canon EOS R100 WHAT THE JUDGES SAID:
“P-series Leica cameras are aimed at pros and photojournalists. This rangefinder model is the first to incorporate Content Authenticity Initiative credentials. It’s also a photographer’s camera, one that prioritises manual operation in a classic rangefinder design. The M11-P also offers very modern pixel-based technology.”
“A perfect entry-level camera, one that can serve as a gateway to today’s connected camera environment and a whole world of interchangeable lenses, the EOS R100 is affordable, compact, lightweight and a decent travel camera.”
BEST COMPACT CAMERA Fujifilm X100VI
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID: “The original X100 was an instant hit and created a cult following which has only strengthened with every new-generation model. The VI is the most appealing yet, combining the series’ classic good looks with both the imaging performance and cropping flexibility of a 40-megapixel sensor.”
BEST PHOTO PAPER Hahnemühle Baryta Photo Papers WHAT THE JUDGES SAID:
“The Hahnemühle inkjet printing paper line-up continues to expand, and with each new entrant comes newfound creative options. These papers are in the Baryta family, renowned for their look, feel and richness of surface that matches high-quality silver halide prints.”
