Quality: spectacular. You’ll find the enormous image size a great benefit in cropping in post editing. [T]his is a phenomenal piece of kit!

Why you’d buy the 650D/T4i: easy to use; reasonable price; powerful camera with excellent video capture (but see below).
Why you’d buy the Sony NEX-3F: attractive price; access to E-mount and A-mount lenses.
Why you’d buy the Pentax: stylising, access to K-mount lenses. Why you wouldn’t: clunky and noisy AF correction; heavy weight; bulky shape; poor high ISO performance.
This baby will shoot top TV and stills industry gold standards.
Why you’d buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1: ultra small; easy to use in no-brainer mode.
Why you’d buy the Fujifilm X-Pro1: you want full manual control; you need access to high quality lenses.
Quality: very, very good. The auto exposure system works well in dealing with wide ranges of brightness, as can be seen in the above beachside shots.
Why you’d buy the P7100: multiple external control points; pocketable. Why you wouldn’t: you want Full HD; the 7.1x zoom range is not enough for you.
Why you’d buy the Sony SLT-A77: big, big 6000×4000 pixel stills; 12fps ability; terrific movie mode; top drawer exposure modes; you want to explore high end photography without the tech tangles of a high end camera (like the Canon 7D).
Quality: excellent in all my shots. This one of the skateboarder is an enlargement from about a quarter of the full image.
This one is for the educated user; it would frustrate the beginner. Having said that, the D5100 is an aspirational camera: it will give legs to the ambitious photographer and give wings to ambitions to capture advanced imagery.
Quality: tops in every department. I found the 600D body and the f3.5/18-135mm lens to be a super combo.
[O]nce the power cell was fitted and the Nikon D3100’s neurons started surging through its circuitry, the little beast rapidly assumed a compelling appeal.
Well thought out, with admirable image control features. Shooting with it was a dream … I have rarely had so much fun and captured great shots with precision.
I found the S95 a delight to use, very pro and quick. Quality: pin sharp pics, excellent tonal range.
This is a highly likeable camera and is an ideal bridge for compact owners to cross on their way to the upper levels of DSLR ownership.
Quality: I could not fault the camera. If you are a newcomer to DSLRs, this is where you can start!
The Nikon D700 is an envy-inducing device, a camera of breathtaking all-round competence.
[...] I had a very positive experience shooting with this Sigma 45mm f/2.8 lens. The compact size complemented the Sony A7RIII perfectly, making it a very portable unit.
[...] I was very pleased with this lens. It is a good solid lens from the Sigma Art series and well worth the investment, making it an ideal lens for street photography and wide-angle photography.
It’s surprisingly good for a variable-aperture lens. Bokeh or lens blur is soft and pleasing, especially at longer focal lengths. Image sharpness is phenomenal, although admittedly not as crisp as a prime lens.
[T]he Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 wide-angle is a compact, relatively cheap lens that is a great addition to any mirrorless shooter’s gear kit. It delivers superb photos without adding too much bulk or breaking the bank.
This lens gives me the best of two worlds – small size and wide aperture.
