Canon sticks to a successful formula by using the same 18-million-pixel sensor and metering system as the EOS 7D and 60D, so the 650D performs as expected, which is good news for photographers.

In what is becoming a very competitive and overlapping market, the Leica X2 stands out as a high-quality, well-built camera, with a sharp lens and good image quality at low sensitivities. Sadly, however, the X2 has in many ways arrived a few years too late.
The Nikon D3200 handles in a very similar way to the less expensive D3100, so the extra money is really paying for the increased pixel count.
I had high hopes for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 when it was announced and, having tested it, I am pleased to say that I am not disappointed.
The M9 feels like both a ‘proper’ Leica and a ‘proper’ digital camera at the same time, and that could not always be said of the M8 and M8.2. The M9’s full-frame sensor is capable of recording images with a very high level of detail with very little vignetting.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is an extremely capable camera, but it lacks some of the refinements and customisation options of Nikon’s top-end models.
The Nikon D5200 is an interesting camera, placed in the crossover between beginner and enthusiast level. [...] However, the D5200 is likely to satisfy a beginner for longer, and act as a compact and able-performing back-up model for an enthusiast.
For the rest of us, it will probably last a lifetime.
As an all-round camera for true enthusiasts, the D600 makes perfect sense.
The Nikon Coolpix S800c has the feel of a camera rushed through to be the first of its kind.
While the body is plastic and both the LCD and the viewfinder are well below average in resolution, the Alpha 3000 is still an excellent beginner’s camera.
While it is still unknown whether Canon will enter the compact system camera market, for now the PowerShot G1 X fills this gap in the company’s range.
The Sony NEX-F3 is a very capable camera. What it does, it does well, and for an entry-level compact system camera it’s difficult to find anything that is really missing.
Cameras at this level have extremely high standards to live up to and the 1D X certainly meets them and in places even exceeds them.
Sony has delivered a capable, pocketable camera with the convenience of a compact.
The Nikon 1 V2 is an impressive little camera, and if you can look beyond the relatively small sensor and resolution there are some superb features.
While the J2 is a nice camera and offers some improvements over the J1, it doesn’t feel like it has gone far enough to progress the Nikon 1 series.
Based on image quality alone, the Pentax K-3 is one of the best enthusiast DSLRs we have tested.
Given the build quality and feature set of the Nikon D7100, I would be surprised if the much-rumoured D400 will ever materialise to replace the D300S.
Compared to its Nikon 1 J2 predecessor, the J3 is a much improved camera. In essence, the J3 is the V2 in a compact, viewfinder-less body, geared to the casual user.
The question people will want answered is whether the D610 suffers from the same dust or oil trait that befell the D600.
The Sony Alpha 77 II is by no means a lightweight camera, but neither is it a shoulder-aching behemoth.
The dp2 Quattro is one of the most difficult cameras to judge that I’ve used recently.
It’s built like a tank and it has allowed me to capture some of my best images at sea.
