Our recommended choice as the best beginner mirrorless camera has $400 off, and has just hit its best price of the year at Best Buy

When it comes to the best mirrorless cameras , there is a huge choice from the world's leading photography brands. Our camera experts here at Space have tried and tested nearly all the best cameras for astrophotography from Canon, Nikon and of course Sony, who are renowned for their advanced mirrorless camera systems. The Sony A1 II is the brand's top-of-the-line mirrorless camera with a professional-level spec and a price to match, but its sibling, the Sony Alpha 7C II, is currently available for just $2,098 at Best Buy. The Sony A7C II performed well for astro and it can autofocus down to -4EV, but added it's not a dedicated astro camera. However, if you want the all-around performance and occasionally dabble in astro, the Sony will easily have you covered. It's the best price this full-frame mirrorless camera has been since April last year, and with a huge $400 off, it's an attractive purchase to anyone looking for a first full-frame mirrorless camera that is capable of shooting astrophotography in a lightweight, travel-friendly ultra-compact body. This camera deal on Amazon is marked as a limited-time deal, but there's no indication of when it actually ends, so we'd say grab it while you can. It's worth noting that Adorama and Walmart are matching the same price, but only on the Black and Silver version, and it's also showing as unavailable on Amazon.
