Have you been looking for the best digital camera money can buy?

One might ask if there is such a thing as a “best” camera, considering the fact every camera attempts to meet a slightly different need/market to its competitors.

Regardless, let’s quickly compare some of the very top cameras available in today’s marketplace.

Nikon D3X

The outstanding 51-point AF system, combined with the 1005 pixel metering system are fantastic. With class-leading image quality, this camera is capable of taking fantastic shots at both high and low sensitivities. Slightly slower than the earlier D3 model, but makes up for it with brilliant pictures, top-notch build quality, a huge viewfinder and seemingly endless customisation possibilities.

Panasonic Lumix G1

A generally great camera, the Lumix G1 operates quickly and smoothly, and is the first non reflex SLR camera ever made. This means it doesn’t depend on a hinged mirror to record images; instead, a live video preview feed is installed. The unit is highly customisable, has a useful status panel and quick menu, a great manual focus mode and is very easy to use ergonomically.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A900

This top-end unit is Sony’s first foray into top-of-the-line DSLR cameras, and the company has made a good fist of it. Featuring class-leading resolution, extremely reliable metering and exposure, a great quick navigation system, a terrific viewing screen and a rock solid build quality that is environmentally friendly, this camera will remain popular for some time yet.
