Otherwise, itвЂ™s just the fact that itвЂ™s pretty expensive. The X-Pro3 does have pretty limited 4K recording times, but if you are planning to buy a camera with a hidden LCD screen as your main video shooter, may we politely suggest not doing that. There isnвЂ™t a lot else to criticise here. You basically have to be willing to play the way the X-Pro3 wants you to. If you can live with this uncompromising control system вЂ“ indeed, if you suspect you might prefer it вЂ“ then the X-Pro3 handles like a dream.В In our review we found the X-Pro3 to be an absolute delight to use вЂ“ but of course, we're camera enthusiasts, we were always going to. This, paired with FujifilmвЂ™s sublime image quality thanks to its X-Trans sensors, makes for an immensely satisfying camera to use. This is designed to stop вЂњchimpingвЂќ (excessive checking of the screen between shots) and provide a purer, retro-style shooting experience. The вЂњhiddenвЂќ LCD of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 caused quite a stir upon release вЂ“ itвЂ™s essentially a tilting LCD thatвЂ™s upside-down, so you canвЂ™t easily check it while youвЂ™re shooting.

The 20MP sensor produces images that are sharp, detailed and vivid.

The dials crowding the top plate of the camera provide that authentic manual shooting feel we love вЂ“ it almost could have gone in our real-deal retro, but itвЂ™s affordable enough that most users can be tempted by it. With highly effective continuous autofocusing, the E-M10 IV is a great little camera for capturing the action around you вЂ“ one of the many reasons itвЂ™s so good for travel. WhatвЂ™s there not to like about that? This is the fourth entry in the E-M10 series, and while it doesn't reinvent any wheels, it makes a number of incremental improvements that had our reviewer hugely impressed.

It brings the superb quality of the OM-D series into a beginner-friendly вЂ“ and, crucially, affordable вЂ“ camera body, and does it all with retro style. We donвЂ™t mind admitting weвЂ™re big fans of the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV.

Indeed, with with 4K 30p video, this one is definitely pitched towards vloggers вЂ“ pure stills shooters may bemoan the lack of a viewfinder. In our Olympus PEN E-P7 review we were particularly impressed by the IBIS (in-body image stabilization), which is something of an Olympus speciality, and makes the camera especially good for video. Classic modes like Mono 2 basically simulate the distinctive looks of popular film stocks like Kodak Tri-X, allowing you to give your images a true retro feel. ItвЂ™s packed with filters and auto-powered Picture Modes that make it easier for new users to create images with stylish looks and effects. Using the same Micro Four Thirds sensor as the E-M10 Mark IV, replacing the aging 16MP model on previous Pen cameras and giving you 20MP to play with. The Olympus Pen series of fashionable, retro-styled mirrorless cameras had lost its way somewhat in previous years, but came back with a bang with the Olympus Pen E-P7.

If you donвЂ™t care about its stylish retro looks, the Nikon Z50 (opens in new tab) is basically the same camera for less money вЂ“ though given that youвЂ™re reading a guide to the best retro cameras, weвЂ™ll assume you do. Images look great, and the 4K UHD video is no slouch either.

But we're not sure you'd want to вЂ“ in oru Nikon Z fc review, we found the dial-based controls a joy to operate, making the camera fun to use, with few compromises made for its bags of style. ItвЂ™s the second APS-C camera for Z mount, and comes with dial-based retro controls вЂ“ though if you prefer not to use them, you can capture shots in a much more digital way by tapping the touchscreen.

While it had its fans, it strained its full retro concept by virtue of the fact that most of its lenses had no aperture rings, and it came at a chunky premium price.ДЇast forward eight years and weвЂ™re trying again with the Nikon Z fc, a retro camera that sensibly targets a more entry- to mid-level market. Nikon had a good go at a retro digital camera in 2013 in the form of the Nikon Df вЂ“ a DSLR now discontinued.
