2025 Photography Trends for Chennai Shooters

Photography in 2025 is all about smarter tech and compact designs, perfect for Chennai’s dynamic shooting conditions. Here’s what’s trending, based on the latest releases and X buzz

• AI Autofocus: Cameras like the Nikon Z6 III and Sony A7 IV use AI to track subjects in low-light, ideal for Chennai’s evening markets or foggy mornings. Expect razor-sharp shots, even at f/1.8.

• Weather-Sealing: Monsoon rains demand robust builds. The Fujifilm X-T5 and Nikon Z6 III resist Chennai’s humidity, unlike budget DSLRs that fog up.

• Compact & Hybrid: Lightweight mirrorless cameras (e.g., Sony ZV-E10) suit travel photography around Mahabalipuram and double as vlogging champs for Reels.

• High-Resolution Sensors: 40MP+ full-frame models (e.g., Canon EOS R5 Mark II) capture every detail for prints or billboards.
  

These trends shape our picks, ensuring you get gear that thrives in Chennai’s climate and culture. Visit VisualPoint to test these features hands-on.
