Sony RX10 7/10
This camera has so much promise and I love using it but video quality is mixed.

I’m a big believer in the end result (the image) being what counts. Though I was always happy to work around the shortcomings of DSLRs at $1000, to be working around them at $12,000 seems obscene.
Resolution is better on the D5200 as well, with more fine detail after you bring it out in post.
Canon have produced a decent lens here for the price. It does make your Canon DSLR more stealthy like a mirrorless camera.
The 5D Mark III is still a great camera but it just hasn’t really moved on from 4 years ago and that is unacceptable.
The G1 X is a camera that, aside from AF speed, gets the fundamentals incredibly right but the peripheral details pretty hideously wrong.
Canon have balanced very well their new auto-features with manual control when required, but still lag behind on auto-focus - which doesn't bother filmmakers, but will annoy camcorder point and shoot users.
The 14mm pancake is highly recommended. It continues Panasonic's approach to quality kit lenses, and I've enjoyed all of Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds optics so far, apart from the rather high price of the fisheye, ultra wide and 100-300mm, and the slightly soft 55-200mm.
The Canon 60D is a great camera, and if I had to pick just one of the 3 HD video Canon APS-C cameras it would be this one purely because of the articulated screen and price.
