Superb controls, incredibly sharp photos and innovative Wi-Fi functions – a big leap forward for the NX system

Sony Alpha A77
Sony Alpha A77 with 16-50mm lens review
Cameras DSLRs

Packed with features and impressive strengths including a superb kit lens, but high noise levels and lethargic controls aren’t acceptable at this price

Samsung NX11

Sublime controls and a keen price, but it can't match the front runners for photo or video quality

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 review
Cameras DSLRs

A highly capable, lightweight alternative to an SLR, but image quality isn't flawless and we miss its predecessor’s more hands-on controls

Takes beautiful photos and videos but at this price it needs more accessible controls. We'd stick to the cheaper D3100.

The video mode is disappointing but photo quality is marginally the best we’ve ever seen. Rival cameras offer better value, though.

Canon EOS 60D
Canon EOS 60D with 18-135mm lens review

Superior ergonomics – particularly the bigger viewfinder and articulated screen – make this a shrewd choice for Canon upgraders willing to look beyond the 550D.

Photo quality fails to live up to the high price, but for videos, the smooth autofocus, extensive options and sublime quality are a winning combination.
