Hasselblad
- Sony E-mount – APS-C Sensor
Hasselblad is known for its medium format cameras. They first attempt in the mirrorless camera is quiet unique: the camera is a Sony Nex 7 on the inside with a luxury Italian design on the outside. As you can guess, it is very expensive and aimed mainly to collectors. The project has been now discontinued.
Kodak
- Micro Four Thirds System
The Kodak S1 is a micro four thirds camera that has been seen released in 2014 after being announced almost two years before. It is not easy to find and is probably one of the least popular mirrorless camera.

Leica
- Leica M Mount – APS-H / Full-Frame Sensor
- Leica T mount – APS-C sensor
The Leica M system finds its origin in 1953 with the M3, a 35mm film camera. It is also known as rangefinder cameras thanks to its unique manual focusing system. Not having a flipping mirror makes it suitable among mirrorless cameras but it stands apart from the rest of the crowd for its important history, build quality, manual controls and its lenses, known by many as the best photography lenses in the world. In 2008, Leica released the first digital M, the M8. In 2014, they released their first APS-C system with autofocus, the Leica T. Leica cameras can be divided into the following categories:
- M: flagship rangefinder camera (manual focus only)
- M-P: more discreet version without the red logo and camera name at the front
- T: APS-C system with autofocus

- Leica M9 Titanium: limited edition designed by Walter de Silva (Audi designer)
- Leica M-60: same as the M 240 but without the LCD screen and buttons except the shutter speed and ISO dial. It is made of stainless steel and available in 600 copies only (our hands-on here).
- Leica M-P Typ 240 Safari edition
- Leica M-P Typ 240 Correspondent: designed by rock star Lenny Kravitz, there are 125 copies only and aged by hand.
Nikon
- Nikon 1 Mount – CX Sensor (1 inch)
The first Nikon 1 is released at the end of 2011. Instead of focusing on a big sensor like its competitors, Nikon decides to build a system where speed and AF performance are the main characteristics. Despite its stunning performance and many of its unique features, Nikon 1 cameras haven’t become really popular yet. The smaller sensor and high prices of the first models didn’t convince everyone which prompt the brand to rethink the series and the camera models. For now it still retains one of the fastest autofocus system in the mirrorless market. Nikon cameras can be divided into the following categories:
- S: entry level model
- J: mid-level mode
- V: more advanced model

Olympus
- Micro Four Thirds System
Olympus and Panasonic are the pioneer of modern MILC cameras thanks to the development of the Micro Four Thirds system, that is today the most complete among all mirrorless systems. Olympus has three main types of camera. The Pen series first started in 2009, inspired by the original and compact Pen film camera. The OM-D series is inspired by Olympus analogue SLRs while the latter addition, the Air, is a smartphone camera similar to the Sony QX series. After developping the 4/3 DSLR system for years, Olympus finally dropped it for the more compact and fast micro four thirds with the launch on the flagship model E-M1 that is compatible with both M4/3 and 4/3 lenses. As of today, it is one of the most reliable mirrorless system even for professional photographers. Olympus cameras can be divided into the following categories:
- Pen: more compact body that lacks a viewfinder, inspired by the Olympus Pen film camera
- E-PM: also called Mini, it is the entry level model
- E-PL: also called light, it is the mid-level model
- E-P: it is the more advanced model
- OM-D: SLR style body with viewfinder
- E-M10: entry level model
- E-M5: mid-level model
- E-M1: flagship model

Panasonic Lumix
- Micro Four Thirds System
Panasonic created the MFT system with Olympus. Under the Lumix sub-brand, Panasonic released the first micro four camera ever, the G1, in October 2008. Lumix cameras are the perfect example of an hybrid solution with equal performance for stills and for video. Some of its flagship models such as the GH3 and the GH4 are very popular among filmmakers. It is also the first brand to have included the 4k video format in its cameras and with the on-going development of 4K photo technology, the brand is aiming to blend photography and video together more and more. The video performance, touch screen capabilities and autofocus performance are among the best in the mirrorless market. The partnership with Leica allows Panasonic to release high quality autofocus lenses designed by the prestigious german brand. Panasonic cameras can be divided into the following categories:
- GF: entry level model
- G: mid level model
- GM: smallest model
- GX: advanced model
- GH: flagship model

Pentax
- Pentax K mount – APS-C
- Pentax Q mount – 1/2/3″ and 1/1.7″
Pentax created the smallest MILC cameras with the Pentax Q in 2011. The camera features a small sensor usually found in compact cameras but have a range of dedicated interchangeable lenses. The Q10 also comes with a vast set of colour combination. However the Q series lost the title of smallest MILC when the Panasonic GM1 was released in 2013. Considering that the latter spots a much larger sensor with more lens offering, we are not sure yet of the future of the Q system. Pentax also released the K-01 in 2012 that has an APS-C sensor and share the same K-mount as its DSLR cameras. However it has been discontinued in 2013.

Polaroid
Polaroid announced in 2013 a series of MILC cameras with 1 inch sensor incorporated into the original Polaroid lenses. Similar to the Ricoh GXR, the sensor is inside the lens instead of being inside the body. The cameras also ran an Android OS. However due to the patent dispute with Nikon regarding the design, the project has been suspended and the camera were never released into the market. The following models were in the works:
- Polaroid iM1836
- Polaroid iM1030
- Polaroid iS2433
Ricoh
- Interchangeable Unit Camera System (you change both the lens and the sensor)
In 2009, Ricoh announced a new concept of digital camera system. Instead of having a traditional body with a sensor and different lenses, the GXR is a body that can mount different “units”. Each units contains the lens, the sensor and the processor engine. There are different units available with various sensor size and focal lengths. The system is now discontinued in most countries.

Samsung
- Samsung NX-Mount – APS-C sensor
- Samsung NX-Mini mount – 1″ sensor
The Samsung NX APS-C system was first introduced in 2010. Despite the lacks of popularity, the NX system offers some very interesting features and has the most advanced Wireless connectivity that include often social media sharing, e-mail and other services to upload your images from the camera directly. Samsung even launched the Galaxy NX, an advanced SLR-style camera with 3G and 4G connectivity built-in and powered by an Android operative system (one of the most popular OS for smartphones). In 2014 they also introduced a smaller system called Mini that relies on a 1 inch sensor. Samsung cameras can be divided into the following categories:
- NX0000: entry level model without EVF
- NX000: advanced model without EVF
- NX00: mid level model with SLR style body and EVF

Sony
- Sony E-Mount – APS-C Sensor / Full Frame Sensor
Sony inherited Minolta know-how and technology when it acquired the company in 2005. They first adventured in the DSLR category then expanded their line of products by releasing their MILC system called NEX in 2010. From the beginning, the very compact body paired with a high quality APS-C sensor brought a good success and customer feedback to the Japanese corporation. In late 2014, Sony went further and released its full frame mirrorless system with the Sony A7 and A7r. Sony also re-branded its APS-C series by getting rid of the Nex name and using instead the “Alpha” name. In 2014 they also released the QX series, the first “Smarpthone camera” that works with a mobile device. Sony is also one of the top sensor producer and owned almost 50% of the market. They also have a prestigious partnership with Carl Zeiss for the lens department. Sony cameras can be divided into the following categories:
- Nex 3 / a5000: entry level APS-C model
- Nex 5 / a5100: mid level APS-C model
- Nex 6 / a6000: advanced APS-C model
- Nex 7: flagship APS-C model
- A7: advanced full frame model
- A7s: advanced full frame model designed mainly for video shooting
- A7r: flagship full frame model
- QX: smartphone camera
