Fujifilm X-A7 Camera
The Fujifilm X-A7 mirrorless, Bluetooth-enabled digital camera is like having a professional photographer in the palm of your hand. The camera automatically tracks faces and eyes when your subject is in motion. The large 16:9 aspect ratio and the 3.5-inch moveable and customizable LCD touch screen make it easy to frame and record videos with one-touch settings. It also performs well in the dark, and the film simulation mode gives you the qualities of physical film in the convenience and ease of a digital camera. And records 4K at 30p, which means you view videos on 4K without cropping. You may just give up your smartphone's camera forever. ($700, Fujifilm-X.com)
