This year's EISA Award winners have been revealed, with Canon, Nikon and Sony scooping multiple prizes for their latest products.
Sony was this year's biggest winner, with seven separate awards across its range of consumer electronics, five being photo products. Its A7 III was honoured as the EISA Camera of the Year, while its A7R III managed to claim the EISA Professional Mirrorless Camera.
Elsewhere, the company's RX10 IV scooped the Superzoom Camera prize, while its FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM and FE 100-400mm F4.5–5.6 GM OSS lenses respectively walked away with the Mirrorless Wide-angle Zoom Lens and Mirrorless Telezoom Lens awards.
Canon, meanwhile, scored victory with its EOS 6D Mark II, that camera being awarded the DSLR Camera prize. The EOS M50, meanwhile, grabbed the Best Buy Camera award, while the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM bagged the DSLR Prime Lens gong. On top of all that, the company's clever Speedlite 470EX-AI flashgun walked off with the EISA Photo Innovation award – and you can see just why the judges were so impressed with in the video below.

Fujifilm, meanwhile, managed to bag the Mirrorless Camera prize with its X-H1, and you can see our video review of that camera below.
