The Nikon D3100 adds today's must-have Live View and Movie modes, both of which were conspicuously absent on the D3000.

With so many types of fluorescent lights in my house alone, Auto White Balance systems are quite challenged. But if I encounter a light source the Canon S95 isn't handling right, I just find a scene with some white in it and press the Shortcut button.
The net result is that the Canon T2i's IS-enabled kit lens does a great job of delivering sharp photos under dim lighting: In the case of the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, you should be able to shoot at shutter speeds up to 16x (4 stops) slower than you can normally hand-hold [...]
[T]he Olympus E-PL1 is not only a great photographic tool (especially for the money), but a fun camera to shoot with as well.
Our experience with the Canon T1i was excellent, and shows that Canon is taking its digital SLR challengers quite seriously.
High quality is one thing, but being a camera that can deliver high quality over a wide range of lighting conditions and different ISO settings is what makes the Canon 5D Mark II such a compelling choice.
[T]he Micro Four Thirds system promises interchangeable-lens cameras with good performance at significantly smaller overall sizes. With the Panasonic G1, early indications are that the platform is off to a solid start.
[T]he Nikon D90 is an exceptionally well-rounded digital SLR offering, with just about everything an aspiring photographer will need, and quite a few of the advanced features found on the higher-priced SLRs in Nikon's line, but at a lower price.
The Nikon D700 is well-built, with such superb features and a nimble, smart interface. It is adaptable to most any kind of photography, and thanks to its full-frame sensor, works with lenses in a way that photographers familiar with 35mm film will find comfortable and familiar.
It won't just serve you, it will teach you.
No matter how you look at it, the Nikon D40x stands up well against the competition, with great image quality at all speeds, and near-perfect utility as a family camera.
The Sony Alpha A100's 18-70mm kit lens produced slightly soft corners in a few shots, with the strongest effect at full telephoto.
The 10.1-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P7100 might not be a huge leap forward from its decent if flawed predecessor but it does offer enough significant improvements, particularly when it comes to operational speed, to warrant a recommendation.
For some photographers, that price difference might be worth it for a full-frame camera and lens, but if compact size and compact price are your ultimate goal, this is a fantastic choice.
If you want a solid, dependable lens with fantastic image quality, impressive zoom range, impressive aperture range, and great all-around performance at a price that’s more than reasonable, this is the lens for you.
Sony has yet another winner on their hands with the A7 II.
The medium-format Fuji GFX 50R shares many of its features and performance with the GFX 50S, but offers them in a slimmer, less ergonomic body at a lower price point.
Making a major leap in the camera market, the Sony A77 reaches into pro territory, able to capture 12 frames per second with a 24.3-megapixel camera that feels great and handles like your typical enthusiast digital SLR.
Despite its slightly lower resolution, the Pentax K-S2 arguably holds onto just a little more detail than does its higher-end sibling in the mosaic crop.
ISO 3200 delivers a solid 13 x 19 inch print, with full color representation and contrast detail remaining.
[T]he Sony RX1R II's overall performance is good and generally improved over the RX1. However buffer clearing times are still quite long, though keep in mind the larger file sizes.
[W]hat we get is a faster, more capable premium compact that still captures excellent images across a wide range of ISOs.
When we reviewed Sony's A7R mirrorless camera, we were thrilled by its combination of a full-frame image sensor and a compact body. The Sony A7 offers both, and yet it's even more affordable.
[T]he long-awaited Canon EOS 60D comes with some incremental upgrades, a few unexpected losses, and some nice surprises; what was not a surprise was its easy and straightforward operation for one already familiar with cameras in this prosumer line.
