Big price equates to big things: the E-P5 is one of the best compact system cameras we've yet tested. But it's not quite perfection.

The X-M1 is new ground for Fujifilm: it's a camera targeted towards the masses, yet it maintains a decent level of its all-important pro-spec look and feel.
The Panasonic Lumix LF1 sounds like a dream on paper, but its wide-ranging feature set overreaches and, therefore, the camera fails to meet its maximum potential.
It's an impressive bit of kit.
Super-fast and super-sleek: Sony’s SLT-A77 is a grand replacement for the long discontinued A700 model.
[A]nyone that was put off buying an X10, let the X20 take you under its photographic wing - you won't have any regrets.
The pictures are great, HD video is a bonus and, despite one or two hiccups in design, there’s a fair whack of specification here for the money that’s certainly not to be sniffed at.
As a whole the D3100 is an incredibly well-specced DSLR that delivers in droves. For those looking for a first time DSLR purchase, then the other options on the market are either dated or pale in significance by comparison.
The GX1 is one of those excellent tools that just lets you get on with taking pictures.
Gripes are few with the Canon PowerShot S95, but following up on the excellent S90, that’s to be expected. We’ve seen the improvement of the video offering, but it certainly isn’t the most sophisticated video shooting compact out there.
We're definitely fans of the E-PM2, which is superior to its predecessor across the board, but for our money it's the E-PL5 which is the Pen model to take the prize.
Image quality is great though, and by far the camera’s strong point.
[T]he D5100 presents a reasonable upgrade for D5000 users and will get novices and more experienced photographers great results.
The Cyber-shot HX9V is an excellent compact camera that leaves little to be desired.
[M]ost of us will prefer easier lives and therefore safer options when it comes to choosing a DSLR.
[T]he Nikon D5200 draws in the D7000's autofocus system and, considering that and the new 24-megapixel sensor's overall image quality, it's a DSLR that's a step beyond its predecessor. But it's not totally plain sailing.
In summary it’s all about your imaging needs: If great quality images at high resolution and a decent movie mode to match are a must, or if you’re a newbie, then the D3200 is excellent and outperforms middleweight DSLRs on those fronts.
So there we have it: this fence-straddling consumer-meets-pro DSLR is a cracker that offers great value for money. Clever, Nikon, very clever. You’ll want to pat the D600 on its camera-y head too.
For charm alone the luxurious, premium-feel Fuji X-Pro1 is the most exciting and interesting release in the Compact System Camera world since Olympus’ original E-P1 digital Pen of 2012.
Let's not forget that there's no better APS-C sensor in a compact system camera that we've yet seen, and that's why the X-E1 is, in spite of its listed shortcomings, a loveable winner.
We sure do have the blinkers on about Wi-Fi, and the S110 might not be quite the king it once was, but otherwise it’s still a little joy.
The camera world now has its proverbial toe dipped into Android waters and, from this initial insight, it should make for a great partnership in the future.
We love the Leica X2, but it’s a far cry from a mainstream camera and, therefore, won’t be suited to many of our readers. However, it’s this distinctiveness that makes it a desirable camera.
As a whole, this is one solid DSLR. It might be a little pricey at its initial launch, but it's the kind of camera that will last you for years to come.
