In Camera Double Exposure? Here Are 4 Great Cameras To Consider!

Double Exposures, in the original meaning, was when a photographer exposed a frame of film twice. When done on accident the results were likely bad, but when done artistically, with forethought and intent the result could be really special. Obviously these days with digital sensors there is no frame to expose twice, so our cameras must be programmed to mimic this. Some rely on photoshop to mimic this effect, but for many getting it in camera is the preferred method.

But as noted above, not all cameras offer such functionality. So if this is a feature that you are looking for, which cameras should you be considering? Here are some great camera options that we would recommend. 

Pro Tip: Sometimes double exposures simply work well just by layering.

Canon 5D Mark IV

Canon's 5D Mark IV is a popular choice for serious photographers, it is full of most of the features and functionality a photographer could want – including multiple exposures. It is not a cheap camera by any means, but if this is a camera that you have been considering, sit well knowing it has multiple exposure capability.

Fujifilm X-T2

The X-T2, as well as the rest of the X Series for that matter, also has great multiple exposure functionality built right into the cameras. A nice side effect of being mirrorless is that you can shoot the double exposure and view it through your viewfinder to line up your shots perfectly.

Pro Tip: To get better double exposures in the more common sense of the images, start with a silhouette.

Sony A7 II

This recommendation has a bit of a caveat to it, Sony's mirrorless cameras don't have multiple exposure capability right out of the box. But you can add the functionality by downloading the multiple exposure app through their app store. Its a bit of an annoying process, and not our favorite multiple exposure implementation, but it is available to those who want it.

Pro Tip: Can't do double exposures in camera? Try an app for your iPhone like Unity.

Canon 6D

The 6D is starting to get a little old in the tooth, but if you are looking for a budget full frame DSLR with multiple exposure capability than the 6D is your guy. This is still a very capable camera in today's market making this an excellent choice for anyone looking into shooting more multiple exposures.

So there you have it, 4 killer options for photographers looking to pick up a camera with multiple exposure capability. We doubt many of you are considering cameras based on this feature alone, but if it is a feature you would like to have and any of these cameras are on your list of consideration, then you now have an idea about which direction to go.
