DPRTV: Best Camera For Landscapes

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 9, 2023

DPRTV published its best cameras for landscape photography at three budgets. You can view the video above or check out their picks below:

Under $1000 USD
It’s worth considering DSLR’s at this price point due to the number of lenses you can choose from since mirrorless can be limited beyond Fujifilm and Sony.

Runner Up
Sony a6100 – lots of great lenses

Best camera for Under $1000
Panasonic G9 – the dramatically reduced price makes a great camera affordable and has a multishot high-resolution mode in camera.

Under $3000 USD
Lots of options now

Runner Up
Sony a7IV, Sony a7RIIIa – lots of megapixels with lots of dynamic range.

Best Camera Under $3000
Nikon Z7II – Great ergonomics and handling.

Sky is the limit

Runner Up
Sony a7RV – So many great features that nothing can really touch it, and lots of great glass.

Best Camera at Any Price Point
Fujifilm GFX100S – No disputing this is the best camera for landscapes, but the GFX100 could be your preference, but DPRTV prefers the more compact body.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 8, 2023


Tamron released their FY2022 Financial results, and mirrorless continues to grow substantially while DSLR sales fade away. Tamron is also promising to continue releasing around 5 lenses a year, so let’s hope we get more great glass in 2023.
