Why we recommend this

Its 20.8-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and EXPEED 5A processor enable a rapid 20fps continuous shooting speed with autofocus, outpacing many DSLRs. The 180-degree tilting touchscreen and built-in Wi-Fi/NFC enhance its usability for quick sharing and self-portraits. This camera is best for photographers seeking a highly portable system for fast-action stills like sports or wildlife, rather than for vloggers due to its lack of in-body stabilization.
