| Bottom line | An unsurprisingly great camera that's worth every penny of its higher price for its target market of professional nonsports photographers, the Nikon D800 should definitely please those who've been waiting patiently to replace their older Nikon equipment. | The Nikon D600 is a really good camera for the money, as long as you're willing to shell out for the lenses that can do it justice. | For Nikon devotees looking for the fastest body available, the D4 delivers. | 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. |
