Test Report

System cameras with viewfinder (tested with their set lens)

From atmospheric portraits to landscape panoramas with fantastic depth: system cameras deliver photos of the finest quality. Trademarks of the system camera: interchangeable lenses, high-quality technology and manual functions. We tested 18 system cameras with viewfinders. From the entry-level model for 310 euros to the full-format camera for 3,000 euros. The test winner only narrowly missed the mark Very Good.
