DSLR Cameras to die for in 2012

Canon EOS 1D X
In the past, Canon fans had the choice between either a high speed sports, action and adventure camera The EOS 1D MK IV or a high resolution 21 million pixel studio camera The EOS 1D MK III. Now, however, with the soon to be available Canon EOS 1D X, you get both.

Top rated Mirrorless cameras in 2012

Sony NEX 7 body
As you can tell in our reviews and shootout, we really like the Sony NEX 7. So its no wonder that we are putting the NEX 7 what a magnificent magnesium alloy body as one of the top five cameras in 2012.

The Juicy Facts

Point and shoot perfection in 2012

Canon PowerShot S100
An extended lens range of 24 12mm, 3 new key image elements and the original S class F2 maximum aperture means the S100 is more than just a re do for Canon. Thats especially true when you hear that the sensor for the S100 will match that of their EOS SLRs. All in all, the S100 is a decent offering of Point & Shoot from Canon.

The Juicy Facts
• 1/1.7 High sensitivity CMOS sensor
• 12.1 million effective pixels
• Full HD movie capabilities
• ISO range 80 6400

These are the top five rated by us on the latest cameras, which are surely tempting for most of the photographers later this year, we are expecting more new camera announcements, and for sure is the Nikon D3200, and the most exciting one is, perhaps, an upgrade of the Canon 7D.
