Considering it was more of a “camera year” for Fujifilm, 2019 still saw the release of four new lenses split between its two mirrorless systems. Already possessing a mature X system and a solid lineup of G-mount lenses for this company’s quickly growing medium format system, Fujifilm spent the year filling in some gaps in the two optics lineups with versatile zooms and compact primes.

Sony, a frontrunner in the mirrorless game, had a productive 2019 that saw the addition of six new E-mount lenses to its lineup. Including two new APS-C lenses and three new FE telephoto lenses, Sony is gradually working on filling the missing gaps in its system, which is to be expected from one of the more mature camera systems at this point.

Dedicating its year to Z, Nikon spent 2019 actively working toward building up its cache of lenses for the immensely popular Z 6 and Z 7 cameras, as well as initiating a DX-format system for the Z mount. Continuing to add to a series of highly useful primes, Nikon’s optics team also spent 2019 releasing a pair of useful FX zooms, a pair of DX zooms, and finally formally releasing the new Noct. With the exception of the Noct, Nikon’s strategy with the Z-mount lenses has been a seemingly more modest one than other recent entrants to the full-

There’s an old saying that goes, “the best camera is the one you have with you.” Just spend some time browsing the Internet and you can find beautiful photos taken with a wide variety of cameras, including DSLR and smartphone systems. Now, perhaps you’re a professional who sees a smartphone photo and can’t help but think, “Imagine how much better that would look if it’d been taken with a pro-level camera.” Consequently, maybe you’re a photo enthusiast who is perfectly happy with smartphone captures and can’t imagine why someone would not only

Even with DSLRs declining in popularity and prominence, development of new lenses continues for these tried and true cameras. While production has slowed in the last few years, optics manufacturers are still working on putting out new glass to make the most of updated sensor designs and pushing the boundaries of how well a lens can perform, how compact and lightweight a lens can be, and filling in the gaps of desired focal lengths.

In case there was any lingering doubt, 2019 confirmed that the camera industry is all-in on mirrorless technologies.

Over half of the mirrorless cameras unveiled in 2019 feature full-frame or medium format sensors, directly competing with professional DSLRs. Whether you are shooting high-resolution stills, capturing pro-quality video, or just getting started
