The Canon EOS 7D Mark II uses an APS-C sensor, but it's a pro-level camera in every respect. Its 10 frames per second shooting and blazing fast autofocus set it apart from most of its peers. It also includes features such as Intelligent Tracking and Recognition (iTR) for improved focus tracking, dual-pixel autofocus for smooth, natural looking focus when shooting video, and well designed ergonomics. It is one of the best high-end DSLRs of 2014.

The Samsung NX1 is defined by its advanced 28.2 MP CMOS sensor. It can deliver up to 15 frames per second bursting with sharp detail and intense colors. Its large sensor is ideal for creating detailed images and stunning UHD video. It is the best high-end mirrorless camera of 2014. In my opinion, it is the best camera of the year.
