In 2024, the camera of the year was a drone


2024 was mostly a dull year for cameras, except for DJI's Neo, which brought aerial photography in reach of nearly everyone.

Aside from the global shutter on Sony's A9 III and some cool mirrorless options — the Fujifilm X100 VI, Panasonic S9 and Canon EOS R5 II come to mind — 2024 was a dull year for cameras full of small tweaks and minor improvements. It’s ready to use for beginners straight out of the box without any training — simply place it in your hand and press a button, then it’ll fly off and capture cool programmed shots like “dronies”. The camera deserved the large amount of press it received this year, because its stripped down nature, vintage looks, film simulations and great handling really bring fun back to photography.
