Top Mirrorless Cameras of 2025 according to BHphoto: Lumix S1rII and Leica SL3-S make it into the top 10

BHphoto listed the Top 10 mirrorless cameras of the year:

  1. Nikon Z5 II
    – The ultimate all-rounder of 2025, the Z5 II combines pro-level features like the EXPEED 7 processor, 30 fps bursts, and dual card slots in an affordable full-frame body. It’s equally great as a first camera or a pro backup.
  2. Hasselblad X2D II 100C
    – A refined medium-format powerhouse with 10-stop IBIS, new LiDAR autofocus, and 1TB internal storage. It delivers studio-quality results with handheld flexibility.
  3. FUJIFILM X-E5
    – A compact, rangefinder-style body with the same sensor as the X100VI, Film Simulation dial, and in-body stabilization. It’s a top-tier everyday creative tool.
  4. Ricoh GR IV
    – The king of pocketable street shooters, now faster with a sharper sensor, new lens, and improved battery life. A cult favorite for minimalism and discretion.
  5. Nikon ZR
    – Nikon’s first RED-collab video-centric hybrid camera with 6K60p N-RAW and ProRes, 32-bit float audio, and advanced Z-mount autofocus. Surprisingly affordable for its cinema pedigree.
  6. Panasonic Lumix S1R II
    – With a 44MP sensor, 8K30p, and 40 fps bursts, the S1R II is Panasonic’s hybrid flagship for pros. It’s versatile across landscape, sports, portrait, and video work.
  7. FUJIFILM GFX100RF
    – The world’s first compact medium-format mirrorless camera with a fixed lens, this is a dream street tool for high-end shooters wanting portable GFX quality.
  8. Leica SL3-S
    – A pro-grade full-frame hybrid with 30 fps raw bursts, 6K open-gate video, and Content Credentials for verified capture. Built like a tank, aimed at the future of content authenticity.
  9. Canon PowerShot V1
    – A high-spec compact vlogging camera with a new 22MP Type 1.4 sensor, 4K60p, and advanced autofocus from the R6 II. Built-in fan allows 2-hour recordings—perfect for creators.
  10. OM SYSTEM OM-3
    – A retro-styled Four Thirds camera with a stacked sensor, AI autofocus, and computational photography magic in a compact, weather-sealed body. Adventure-ready with vintage charm.
