EISA Awards 2020
Every year in August, 55 trade magazines from 25 countries choose the best cameras and lenses from the last 12 months. This is where the so-called EISA Awardsthat have now been awarded for the year 2020.
Let’s not even talk around the bush for long – let’s take a look at the awards that the European Imaging & Sound Association presented this year.
The best cameras

Fuji, Canon, Sony, Nikon and Panasonic can all look forward to a camera award, only Olympus missed out on this year’s awards. In the eyes of EISA, Fujifilm produced the best camera last year with the X-T4 and prevailed against models such as the Sony A7r IV or the Canon EOS R5, which were awarded in other categories.

Other awards
- Drone: DJI Mavic Air 2
- Software: Nik Collection 3
- Monitor: EIZO ColorEdge CS2740
Numerous tests have already shown that the DJI Mavic Air 2 has been the best new drone in the last 12 months. Meanwhile, the prize for the best software goes to DxOs Nik Collection 3while as the best monitor for photographers the EIZO ColorEdge CS2740 is awarded.
Of course, at the awards you can discuss here and there whether a different product should not have been awarded, but by and large we at least agree with this year’s EISA Awards. Although one also has the feeling that the association has made a conscious effort not to disadvantage any manufacturer.
Do you agree with the awards or would you have recognized other products?
