Camera of the Year - Sony A7R II
All hail the Sony A7R II - a Compact System Camera that is well worth the upgrade from your smartphone and gives you excellent value for money even at this top-level ticket price (you can pick it up online for between £2,000-3,000).
What impressed us about the A7R II beyond its stupendous 42.4-megapixel full-frame sensor was its compact, weather-sealed body, its video capabilities, and its photo performance in both portrait and landscape modes. A worthy winner, presented in partnership with The Photography Show.
We should give a special mention to the highly commended Nikon D500, another camera that's well worth your consideration.
