The Nikon D5 is a great camera and a worthwhile upgrade to the D4S, but there are a few niggles that if addressed could make it an absolute belter.
The new sensor gives the X-Pro2 a boost in picture quality, the new EVF and autofocus are useful improvements and minor changes to the controls and layout do make a dfference.
The SL has some great technology and lovely build quality. It can also produce superb images, but it's too big and heavy in comparison with the CSC competition.
There are a few extra things we would have liked to have seen in the D7100, but its performance as a conventional stills camera is still really competitive. If you're interested only in regular stills photography, the cost-saving over the newer D7200 is undeniably tempting.
The HX90V is a solidly performing all-round compact camera that offers a lot, but doesn't deliver in every single area.
So for those who don't want to worry about lugging around a huge kit bag full of different optics it's a great option – travelling photographers in particular may find it appealing.
The K-3 II offers excellent build quality and some interesting features at a reasonable price. It's a good all-rounder DSLR that's capable of delivering high-quality images across a range of subjects.
The G3 X delivers SLR-like zoom capabilities in a compact package thanks to its excellent lens and image stabilisation, only falling down when faced with fast-moving subjects.
The Canon 5DS and 5DS R are superb cameras that resolve a huge amount of detail, beating even 50Mp medium format cameras. A new benchmark has been set.
The Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) is specialized and expensive, and its manual rangefinder focusing won't suit everyone. But the quality of the results justifies Leica's brave decision to use a monochrome sensor.
A superb full-frame compact camera for those who like traditional controls and modern features like an electronic viewfinder. The Q is capable of producing beautiful quality images.
While the M3 is very capable, the 18-55mm kit limits detail resolution significantly and the autofocus system has a habit of focusing on the background rather than the subject.
The P900 is pretty good for a camera of its type, but that type of camera (and that size of sensor) does have its limits.
Nikon has once again produced a very capable camera for its compact system camera range.
A solid feeling entry-level interchangeable-lens camera which lacks a viewfinder, but that has enough other features to satisfy novices and enthusiasts on a budget.
While Nikon hasn't exactly created a game changer with the Nikon D5500, it's nevertheless a very pleasing entry-level camera that brings a lot of very useful features to the beginner user. It's ideal as your first DSLR, or perhaps as an upgrade from a much older model.
Superb image quality from a fantastic feat of camera engineering - perhaps the ultimate carry everywhere camera.
This camera delivers high quality, correctly exposed images with plenty of detail, good colour and well-controlled noise.
A well-performing camera that has just a few small let-downs. A good range of features for the beginner photographer.
The main aim of using a medium format camera is to produce higher quality images than is possible with a small format camera and the Pentax 645Z certainly delivers in this respect.
Image quality from this camera is excellent, even at high sensitivity settings. Also, the autofocus system is fast and accurate; it can even cope with very low light levels, making this a great camera for enthusiasts [...]
The J4 performs well and looks good – fans of Nikon will particularly enjoy this camera, while those who aren't can enjoy an easy to use compact system camera.
The Panasonic FZ1000 is an excellent bridge camera, but it's also rather large and expensive for the genre.
