Best Digital Camera with Remote Control

By Krishna Pérmi . Last updated Dec 3, 2015.

The prime and principal purpose of using a digital camera with a remote control is to avoid shaking the camera by triggering it remotely. Next come the other advantages of using remote controlled cameras. Group photos for example, benefit from remote controlled cameras in that they don't require one member to stand behind the camera to capture the image and be excluded from the snap; you can remain in the photograph by using a remote to click from a distance. Similarly, macro and nature photography too benefit a great deal since they depend so largely on the camera's stability during capture.

There are wired and wireless remote controlled digital cameras. In wired remote controlled cameras, the extension plugs control the trigger. And the wireless remote controlled cameras have separate transmitter and receiver units; camera's remote control terminal is connected by the receiver through its specific cable.

	- HDMI output only functions when Wi-Fi/NFC is disabled. - Auto and Incandescent white balance settings too warm in tungsten lighting. - OVF coverage only 95%, with offset (this will likely change with sample variation). - Built-in flash can act as master to off-camera slave flash units. - Competitive though unexceptional burst speed for its class. - Excellent color and hue accuracy with manual white balance. - Very good high ISO performance for a 24-megapixel APS-C model. Rating Unavailable - But it’s the 760D’s low noise levels that impress most. - The new 24.2MP sensor in the 760D doesn’t just look good on paper; it also generates excellent image quality. - Its plastic body is tough and doesn't show any signs of flex, plus you get a generously-sized rubberised rear thumb grip. This camera produces the same superb image quality as the 750D, but its better handling, helpful secondary LCD and electronic level makes it our choice of the two models. It's almost like a smaller, lighter 70D, with a better sensor.	The Leica Q (Typ 116) is a niche camera, with a full-frame image sensor and a dedicated 28mm lens. It's not for every photographer, but it's fantastic at what it does. The Leica Q (Typ 116) is the best serious compact camera that Leica have ever released, offering fantastic image quality, great handling and build-quality, and a number of surprisingly innovative features which include very fast auto-focusing, although it's also the most expensive too. Offering a unique combination of a 35mm full-frame sensor and fixed 28mm lens, the Leica Q's natural rivals are the now ageing Sony RX1 and RX1R, but they don't offer such a wide or fast lens, a built-in viewfinder, or a touchscreen interface. A superb full-frame compact camera for those who like traditional controls and modern features like an electronic viewfinder. The Q is capable of producing beautiful quality images.	The Olympus OM-D E-M10 II is an evolutionary upgrade of 2014's E-M10 camera, principally adding an even better electronic viewfinder, 5-axis image stabilisation system, very useful fully electronic shutter, and AF targeting pad and focus stacking features, along with a better control layout. The OM-D E-M10 II embodies what the Olympus OM-D series is all about; it's a high quality camera that feels great, offers an extensive feature set with bags of control and produces superb quality images yet doesn't take up much space in your bag. The OM-D E-M10 Mark II is a great camera that's packed with the very best Olympus design and technology. Like its stablemates, it has a sleek retro look, a 16-Megapixel CMOS sensor and a speedy autofocus, but new technology like Focus Bracketing and five-axis stabilisation take it even further. It's straight-forward, effective and attractive. We just wish Olympus would update its over-complex menus!.	The mirrorless X-T10 is the best camera Fujifilm offers at a sub-$1,000 price point, but its burst shooting duration is disappointing. The Fujifilm X-T10 successfully repackages most of the core features of the flagship X-T1 camera into a smaller, lighter and cheaper body, and it's also the first X-series camera to benefit from the brand new auto-focusing system, resulting in a mid-range camera that offers a lot of advanced functionality. Rating Unavailable The Fujifilm X-T10 is a fantastic enthusiast level ILC. Sporting the 16-Megapixel X-Trans imaging sensor, EXR Processor II, Full 1080p HD video and total shooting control on the camera make it lots of fun to use. Performance and image quality will not let you down either.	- Macro performance not quite as good as some competitors. - Battery life not as good as predecessor (but still fair for its size). - Slightly below average saturation levels and hue accuracy. - Still can't capture RAW files and JPEGs at the "Extra Fine" highest quality setting. - Default Wi-Fi camera app lacks robust functionality; need to install additional (free) app. - Great stills, outstanding video, and loads of features make this an amazing compact cam. - The screen is rated 1,228K dots and is very sharp. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV offers serious video improvements over the RX100 III, but it is very expensive for a compact camera.
