The best camera is the one that you have with you when you want to take a photograph.

I understand it is proper to get back to the actual thread topic. What I do NOT understand is how the question of “best camera” could ever be called a “serious question”. Well, I guess it’s all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out.
I did say that facetiously.

Perhaps a good way to find the best camera is to count up every single accessory that a camera can use and match it up against every other camera and it’s accessories. A simple count would give us the winner. 😊😊

"The best camera is the one that you have with you when you want to take a photograph."
To me this resumes it all. Consider that cameras are only tools and they can do a great job depending on the operator. A savvy photographer knows how to use his or her camera to enhance the subject.
I do not remember a camera I used in my more than 55 years photographing that did not fit the job at hand. When I did my part the camera rewarded me with great shots. A professional lens makes any camera shine when used properly and even lesser lenses do a great job if we pay attention to our subject and the light falling on it.
Being at the right place and at the right time is only part of the story regardless of the camera in use.

Sure, luck means a lot in photography. Not being able to afford the best camera is bad luck.
Paul, you are a little ray of sunlight! But correct!

I’m inclined to believe that the “best” camera is the one you can afford. I could sell my house, my car, all my other gear, etc. But all I would have is a huge pile of cash and I could afford any camera there is.
In My Humble Opinion, the “best” camera is the one you are using because you took the time to read the owner’s manual.
You did read it? Didn’t you? I hope!
I can’t understand the overwhelming need for people to have the latest and greatest. I am quite content with my 2001 Soccer Mom Mini-Van. It is great on gas and does 0 to 45 in 5 minutes and best of all, it runs emissions free because the little hamster under the hood was changed at 10,000 miles. LOL!!
Be grateful we have a talent that we can use, and enjoy. If others can enjoy our talent that is also a good result.
One upping each other is for jumping hyenas!!

I have Olympus markIII with a12 - 40 pro lens. I have used this combo in Cuba, Australia and everywhere else.
It is great!

There will always be a camera that makes you wonder whether it would have been a better choice. But the objective should be to find one that satisfies your needs and preferences. And maybe, like me, you will decide you need two or more. In my case, I have one camera that I generally prefer but another that fits in my pocket easily. Which is better? It depends entirely on the situation.
