Given its high image quality and added features, the Nikon D5300 is a sure-fire winner of a Dave’s Pick.
The age of the fully-featured, full-frame mirrorless camera is finally here -- and boy, what a duo of cameras kickstart the revolution.
[T]he Nikon D610 is a fantastic, budget-conscious, full-frame camera that’s packed with features and produces outstanding image quality.
The Pentax K-3 is a true, no-excuses premium DSLR, that stands toe-to-toe with anything on the market, while besting many on features and capability.
With some cameras, you can question whether you’re getting a good deal. With the Sony A3000, it’s simply not up for debate: This camera is a spectacular value, and that makes it a whole lot easier to overlook any shortcomings it has.
With a look and feel reminiscent of the Canon S100 premium pocket camera, the EOS M is sized a little larger, more on the scale of an enthusiast compact such as the Panasonic LX7 or Olympus E-PM2. But it's the camera's overall heft that's impressive.
Ignore the naysayers: There’s a lot to like about the Canon T5i, and if you’re in the market for an affordable SLR, it’s definitely worthy of a place on your shortlist.
Poor battery life In many ways, the Canon SL1 provides the best of both worlds, pairing the compact, lightweight body of a mirrorless camera and the performance and image quality of a DSLR.
The Sony NEX-3N is a versatile, capable and powerful little camera. When the price is considered [...] it jumps out as a particularly strong contender for an entry-level user, or even as a compact backup for a seasoned enthusiast.
Paired with a better-performing lens, though, the Sony NEX-F3 represents a good choice for the consumer photographer.
In fact, we believe the A58 produces arguably the best straight-from-the-camera photos across the board — including in low light, high ISO situations — of any entry-level DSLR we’ve tested to date.
[T]he Nikon D5200 is a lot of camera for the money, and though it's aimed at advanced beginners in terms of image quality and capabilities, it's not too far removed from DSLRs geared for more serious photographers.
PEN E-PM2 at a glance 4.5/5 Dave's Pick The Olympus PEN E-PM2 may not boast a Mode dial or other advanced physical controls, but it produces surprisingly exceptional images that rival that of its star sibling -- the OM-D E-M5 -- at a much lower price.
Bottom line, the Canon 6D is generally a responsive camera with fast startup, shutter lag and buffer clearing, but autofocus speeds and burst rates are a little below average for its class.
For all these reasons and more, the Olympus E-PL5 should be seriously considered by any enthusiast looking to ditch their DSLR and move over to a more affordable, compact system (or at least as a backup camera when portability is key).
[O]ur experience with the Nikon D600 was quite positive. It's an excellent digital SLR with plenty of years of Nikon engineering in its design, and it shows. We have no trouble recommending it highly [...]
Meanwhile, the camera's fast overall speed makes it a pleasure to use and a great performer for street photography or youth sports.
Bottom line though, there's not a lot to complain about with the X-E1, especially considering its more budget-friendly price tag.
After shooting with the S800c for some time is equally conflicted: there were things we liked about its design, and others that drove us batty.
If you're looking for a second camera, or you're the type who'd never take the kit lens off your SLR or mirrorless camera, the G1 X could be made for you.
If you'll be exclusively photographing natural landscapes or other subjects where you can be confident that moiré won't be a problem, or if you need to avoid the low-pass filter for scientific imaging, the D800E is a fine choice.
For any photographer, especially photographers who are paid to capture critical, fleeting moments, the Canon 5D Mark III is a powerful tool, and a significant upgrade to its predecessor, yet priced affordably when compared to the Canon 1D-series cameras.
Sony packs its latest digital ideas into the Sony HX9V, a 16-megapixel, 16x pocket long zoom, offering high-resolution stills and Full HD video. The result is a versatile digital camera with a wide zoom range and plenty of tricks to get great shots in difficult conditions.
