Top 5 Digital SLRs



#1

Canon EOS 7D

$1379in SLR Cameras
The 18-megapixel Canon 7D delivers high resolution stills and full HD video in a well-built camera designed for serious photographers without the desire (or budget) for a full-frame model.
Canon

#2

Canon EOS Rebel T2i

$749in SLR Cameras
The 18-megapixel Canon Rebel T2i has the same high-res sensor as the more upscale Canon 7D, but the new Rebel isn't actually all that different from last year's T1i. High-quality video shooting at 1080p is a big improvement, but dynamic range and long exposure performance are still unimpressive.
Canon

#3

Nikon D300S

$1419in SLR Cameras
After 2 1/2 years Nikon tacked mediocre video and an extra card slot onto the aging D300. The D300S might be worth $1700 to a pro on a budget or a demanding amateur, but we were hoping to see more innovation.

#4

Olympus E-P1

$550in SLR Cameras
The Olympus E-P1 is a kick-ass modern camera in retro-design disguise, with a compact size that finally delivers on the "micro" part of the Micro Four Thirds promise.
Olympus

#5

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

$2074in SLR Cameras
The full-frame, 21.1-megapixel Canon 5D Mark II aced our color accuracy and dynamic range tests, and captures 1080p movies with extraordinary quality. But it's not the perfect all-in-one still and video camera: there are still too many quirks.

Top 5 Point & Shoots



#1

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

$349in Cameras
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 is a powerful ultrazoom camera that shoots decent pictures and good looking video, as well as being able to easily take night shots and panoramas. At around $500, It is expensive, but it does offer a lot of features.
Sony

#2

Canon SX1 IS

$600in Cameras
It looks like an innocent compact SLR, but the Canon SX1 IS is actually a paparazzi-pleasing ultrazoom in sheep's clothing, with a 20x zoom plus high-def 1080p video. For the same $600, though, you could buy a highly rated interchangeable-lens SLR.
Canon

#3

Panasonic DMC-ZS3

$290in Cameras
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 packs a lot of features into its small case: 10-megapixel resolution, a 12x zoom and high definition video. And we found that it has the performance to match, with sharp, colorful images and video.
Panasonic

#4

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

$314in Cameras
This compact 12-megapixel ultrazoom could be a perfect traveling companion, with fine wide-angle coverage, powerful telephoto and pleasing portaility.
Panasonic

#5

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7

$323in Cameras
The Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is a small, sleek point & shoot that takes 10.2 megapixel images and which can perform a number of clever tricks, like great low-light performance and an excellent panorama mode.
