| Bottom line | While it provides one of the best touch-screen experiences in its class and the compact body is quite comfortable to shoot with, the Canon EOS M's disappointing performance and blah feature set make it less attractive than competitors. | The Sony Alpha NEX-6 delivers an as-yet-unbeatable package of image quality, performance, and design, even for its rather high price. | The
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's compact, elegant design, generally excellent photo quality, bright, fast lens, and speedy performance make a great package if you don't mind spending a little more money. | Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V is an excellent compact megazoom suitable for snapshooters to enthusiasts, though the latter might be turned off by some aspects of the camera. | The Nikon D5200 makes a great choice for family and vacation photographers. |
