But the mirror mechanism of a DSLR is complex and noisy and adds to the weight of the camera, and that's where the mirrorless camera, or compact system camera comes in. They keep the big sensors and interchangeable lenses of DSLR cameras but ditch the mirror to produce a smaller, lighter and simpler camera.</p><p>In fact, there are still pros and cons to both designs. If you want to find out more, read this: <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/mirrorless-vs-dslr-1304910">Mirrorless vs DSLR cameras: 10 key differences</a>.</p><p>Some mirrorless cameras have a compact, rectangular body, some are styled like DSLRs with a 'pentaprism' on the top – though this houses an electronic viewfinder rather than the optical viewfinder you get with a DSLR.</p><p>Be aware, too, that cheaper mirrorless cameras don't come with viewfinders at all – instead, you compose the photo on the rear screen, just as you do with a compact camera or a smartphone. (If you're still not sure what kind of camera you need, read our easy to follow guide: <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/what-camera-should-i-buy-our-step-by-step-guide-helps-you-choose-1300667">What camera should I buy?</a>)</p><p>No two photographers are exactly the same – we're all looking for slightly different things, so we've ranked the 10 best compact system cameras you can buy right now based not just on specs, handling and performance, but size, simplicity and value for money too.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Fujifilm/Fuji%20X-T10/Press%20shots/X-T10_leftside-silver18-55mm-420-90.jpg" alt="Fuji X-T10" width="420"></img></p><h3>1.

In fact, though, the X-T10 uses the same sensor and Fuji's latest AF technology, which the X-T1 needs a firmware update to match. The X-T10 has a slightly smaller viewfinder image and simplified external controls which don't match the retro appeal of the X-T1's, but apart from that it's hard to see any major benefit to the X-T1 that could justify the big price difference. We love the compact DSLR-style body, the superb Fuji image quality and film simulation modes, and Fuji's growing range of premium lenses. This is top-quality mirrorless technology at a mid-range DSLR price point.</p><p><strong>Read the full review:</strong> <a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/digital-slrs-hybrids/fuji-x-t10-1294053/review">Fuji X-T10</a></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Olympus/OM-D%20E-M10%20II/Hands%20on%20shots/OM-D_E-M10_Mark_II_EZ-M1442_II_R_silver_front_300dpi-420-90.jpg" alt="Olympus OM-D E-M10 II" width="420"></img></p><h3>2.

We loved the original E-M10 for its size, versatility and value for money, but the E-M10 II adds features that take it to another level. The old camera's 3-axis image stabilization system has been uprated to the 5-axis system in Olympus's more advanced OM-D cameras, the viewfinder resolution has been practically doubled and the continuous shooting speed, already impressive at 8fps, creeps up to 8.5fps. Some will criticise the smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor format (roughly half the area of APS-C) but the effect on image quality is minor and it means that the lenses are as compact and lightweight as the camera itself. It's small, but it's no toy – the E-M10 II is a properly powerful camera.</p><p><strong>Read the full review: </strong><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/digital-slrs-hybrids/olympus-om-d-e-m10-mark-ii-1302496/review">Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II</a></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Sony/A7R%20II/Press%20shots/Sony-A7R-II-hero-420-90.jpg" alt="Sony A7R II" width="420"></img></p><h3>3.

Some attribute the rise in popularity of CSCs in countries that had previously largely ignored them to the launch of the series. So why all the fuss? Well despite being small enough to fit in unnoticed amongst other CSCs, the Alpha 7 series of cameras have a full-frame sensor. That means the sensor is the same size as a piece of 35mm film, which is good news for image quality and depth of field control. </p><p>The A7R II has proved especially popular because it has a pixel count of 42.2 million, so it generates huge images that have bags of detail, and noise is controlled well. What's more, it can also shoot high quality 4K footage and there are lots of professional-level video features available. In addition, there's an excellent stabilisation system and Wi-Fi/NFC technology built-in so you get sharp images at lower than normal shutter speeds and you can share them quickly via a connected smartphone.</p><p><strong>Read the full review: </strong><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/compact-cameras/sony-alpha-a7r-ii-1303996/review">Sony A7R II</a></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Fujifilm/X%20Pro%202/Press%20shots/09_X-Pro2_BK_FrontLeft_35mmF1-420-90.jpg" alt="Fuji XPro2" width="420"></img></p><h3>4.

Building on the original<a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/digital-slrs-hybrids/fuji-x-pro1-1071113/review"> X-Pro1</a>, Fuji's first mirrorless camera, the X-Pro2 may look similar, but they're quite different beasts. Its the first Fuji X-Series camera to use the new 24.3MP APS-C sensor with the company's X-Trans filter array, delivering excellent colour and detail. There's also an new X Processor Pro image processing engine that sees burst shooting up to 8fps and a much improved and snappier AF system. Unique to mirrorless cameras is the X-Pro2's Advanced Hybrid Multi Viewfinder, that offers both the option of an EVF and optical viewfinder, as well an Electronic Rangefinder feature that overlays a small version of the electronic finder in the corner of the optical one. One of the more expensive options out there, but you'll be rewarded with a great shooting experience and pin-sharp images.</p><p><strong>Read the full review: </strong><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/digital-slrs-hybrids/fuji-x-pro2-1311694/review">Fuji X-Pro2</a></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Sony/A6300/Press%20shots/a6300_N_wSEL1670Z_front-420-90.jpg" alt="Sony A6300" width="420"></img></p><h3>5.

One of the challenges for CSC manufacturers has been to make their autofocus systems as good as the ones in SLRs. The A6300's comes very close, especially in bright light; it's able to track moving subjects around the frame and as they move towards or away from the camera. There's also an excellent electronic viewfinder that makes it easy to see when the subject is sharp and correctly exposed. Image quality is very high and there's built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity to allow to share images via a connected smartphone.</p><p><strong>Read the full review: </strong><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/sony-a6300-1314326/review">Sony A6300</a></p><p><br /><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Olympus/Pen%20F/Press%20shots/PEN-F-SLV_front_M17mmF18_BLK-420-90.jpg" alt="Pen" width="420"></img></p><h3>6.

There's also an advanced 5-axis image stabilisation system built in to combat camera shake, while no Olympus CSC could be complete without a selection of Art Filters - the Pen-F has 28 to choose from. Offering plenty of customisation and a host of clever features, there's also built-in Wi-Fi connectivity to boot. </p><p><strong>Read the full review: </strong><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/digital-slrs-hybrids/olympus-pen-f-1313803/review">Olympus Pen-F</a></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/cameras/Fujifilm/Fuji%20X-T1%20firmware/fuji-x-t1-firmware-03-420-90.jpg" alt="FujiXT1" width="420"></img></p><h3>7.

Price has proved the X-T1's main enemy – it's a great camera, but it's held its price almost too well, so that the newer Fuji X-T10 is almost as great and much cheaper. The Olympus E-M10 II has come along too, with its brilliant blend of size, features and value, and competitive pricing means the Sony A7 II is now very good value for those who value performance above all else. The X-T1's external manual controls for shutter speed, lens aperture and ISO setting are still a joy to use and we love the results from its X-Trans sensor, but its rivals are getting ever stronger.

Despite sacrificing the clever tilting EVF, resolution is actually improved on the fixed EVF on the GX80, and while it also forgoes the 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and replaced by the older 16MP chip, the AA filter has been removed for sharper images. The GX80 also comes with 4K video capture, with the ability to capture 8MP stills from recorded footage - it's like a ultra-fast 30fps burst mode).

As it's from the first generation of Sony's full-frame compact system cameras it lacks the handling refinements and stabilisation that come with the second.

It's also a very good stills camera capable of shooting top-quality 16MP images at up to 12 frames per second. You can even extract really good 8MP stills from 4K video shot at 30fps. But all this processing power has made the GH4 expensive, so unless shooting high-speed action stills and video is your speciality, you could be paying for power you won't use. It's a firm favourite amongst 4K film-makers and early adopters, however, and while prices have fallen since its launch in 2014, its reputation just seems to keep on growing.
