When we carried out our full review, we found this can be much higher when shooting in the daytime. The Fuji X-T4 uses the NP-W235 battery with a CIPA rating of around 500 shots per charge in an everyday performance mode. The 26.1MP APS-C sensor creates excellent image quality, and there are plenty of lenses available to fit this model to enhance them further. The classic look of the camera makes it stylish, but the body-mounted dial controls make it easier to use in the dark if you can remember which dial does what. The vari-angle screen makes composing shots much more comfortable than without, given the camera will be pointing at the sky.

It is an excellent option for astrophotography enthusiasts, as we discussed in our Fujifulm X-T4 review. The X-T4 is Fujifilm's flagship mirrorless camera and the most powerful X-series.

Although a very high ISO will drastically reduce image quality, it can be helpful just to help you frame your composition if nothing else. This was one of the features we enjoyed most during our Nikon D850 review alongside its expandable ISO sensitivity range of 102400 - it practically sees in the dark. It has two card slots for SD and XQD/CF Express cards to ensure it can record all that incredible detail at speed.Īs seen on the flagship Nikon D5 (opens in new tab), the D850 utilizes full button illumination, making it simple to operate in the dark without needing a headlamp. Like all DSLRs, it has an optical viewfinder, making it a little more challenging to compose and focus for night sky imaging, but the rear tilting touchscreen fixes this problem. Still, thanks to its rugged construction and excellent weather sealing, it will last for many years, no matter what environment you choose to shoot in. It is considerably heavier, bigger and bulkier than astro-specific cameras or its mirrorless competition.
