| Bottom line | While it's not a no-brainer upgrade over the Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worth the price premium if better performance and configurability matter to you. | An excellent dSLR for experienced shooters or Nikon professionals looking for a relatively cheap option, the
Nikon D7000 delivers on almost all counts, including the company's best shooting design to date. | The photo quality you get from the EOS 6D makes it well worth the upgrade over a consumer APS-C model, but between this and comparable or higher-end models it's a less obvious choice. | The Nikon D5200 makes a great choice for family and vacation photographers. |
