Which are the best cameras, lenses and photographic accessories you can buy right now? The answer can be found right here, in the EISA Awards 2026-2027, as voted for by the magazines and websites that form the photography group within the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). EISA is a group of 51 special-interest magazines and websites from 26 countries around the world, covering Hi-Fi, photography, mobile devices, in-car electronics, and home theatre and vision. Each member is a renowned expert within its subject area and known for the rigour and integrity of its testing. As one of the organisation’s founding members, Amateur Photographer is an integral part of EISA’s Photography Panel. We work closely alongside 15 other magazines from Europe, India and the USA, all of which are among the most respected in their home countries. To ensure that the winning products are truly worthy of your hard-earned money, each one must have been tested in depth by multiple panel members. We don’t give awards based on quick first looks, or on the basis of specifications alone. While each country has its own particular preferences for which features and characteristics are the most important in different kinds of cameras and lenses, there is often a strong consensus as to which should be recognised with an award.
