No two ways about it: If you’re shopping for a capable all-rounder camera that doesn’t skimp on features, and you want a tank-like build without the size and weight of a high-end DSLR, the Olympus E-M5 II should definitely be near the top of your shortlist.
[T]he Canon T6i is not a ground-breaking camera, but it does offers useful upgrades over its predecessor, especially in terms of image resolution and autofocus, as well as built-in Wi-Fi with NFC.
All in all, the Fujifilm X-A2 balances very good still image quality and decent performance with a great price point, which when all is said and done, makes it a great entry into the Fuji X-system and their excellent family of lenses.
Like the previous, non-APD 56mm lens, Fujifilm has really knocked it out of the park with another excellent optic for their popular X-mount cameras.
There is a lot of competition at $899, to be sure, but precious little as small or full-featured as the GM5.
[T]he Sigma dp2 Quattro is one quirky camera, which has become the hallmark characteristic of Sigma’s family of Foveon-based compact cameras.
The Canon 7D Mark II looks to continue this heritage with an even more flexible and powerful AF system, sheer processing performance that surpasses the 1D X, improved build quality and more advanced video features, and therefore gets our top marks as a Dave’s Pick.
For its impressive image quality, performance and features, the Nikon D750 is a well-rounded, all-in-one multimedia machine and a solid choice for a Dave’s Pick.
A very nice performance in the print quality department by this mid-level PEN camera!
Factoring in the Sony A5100’s price, size and weight with the other positives we found in our testing and shooting, the Sony A5100 makes for an easy recommendation as a Dave’s Pick, and is very much a camera that we give our wholehearted Imaging Resource seal of approval.
We really can’t say enough to recommend the Panasonic FZ1000. It’s an exceptionally fun camera to shoot with, and its far-reaching lens presents photo opportunities that you’d simply have missed with a lesser camera.
While it may not win an award for C-AF performance, the Sony A77 II gets top marks in most other areas. Given all the bells and whistles it offers as well as the fantastic, affordable pricepoint compared to competing models, the A77 II gets a nod from us as a Dave’s Pick.
No question about it: This is a much more complete camera, and yet it’s actually priced lower than was its predecessor at launch.
Rather than chasing ever more pixels, the Sony A7S takes a conscious step back, featuring an all-new 12.2-megapixel sensor with huge pixels -- by current standards, at least -- as well as some unique tweaks aimed at increasing dynamic range.
At the end of the day, though, this still strikes us as a niche camera, albeit one that’s noticeably better than its predecessors in experienced hands.
There’s no question about it: This really is one heck of a camera. It can’t make you an instant pro, but once you’ve become familiar with it, the D4S can give you the same shooting experience pros demand, and let you focus on your images.
While it's not leaps and bounds better than its predecessor and is still relatively large and heavy, it shows improvements in some important areas [...]
While not made to quite the premium standard of the NEX-7, it still feels solid with a high quality fit and finish.
While the T5 may lean more toward the basic side of things, the image quality is very good when it’s all said and done.
In what is most assuredly one of the best Micro Four Thirds cameras on the market today, the Panasonic GH4 is an easy choice for a Dave’s Pick.
For everyone else, though, this deliciously-styled retro camera is an enthusiast’s dream, and a clear Dave’s Pick!
Nikon squeezes so much good stuff into the trim and affordable D3300, it’s an easy Dave’s Pick.
We’re here to tell you that this camera is essentially unrivaled. Yes, it might be pretty pricey, but that’s for good reason: The Sony RX10 is revolutionary in a way few cameras truly are these days, and it provides things no other camera does.
While we ended up not being huge fans of its ergonomics and design, the pairing of great image quality and the chance to avoid flash altogether for many shots earns the Nikon Df a spot on our Dave’s Pick list.
