| Bottom line | A solid camera for point-and-shoot upgraders who want to be able to shoot action and video, the Sonly Alpha SLT-A35's bulk may still be a turn-off for some. | The Sony Alpha NEX-6 delivers an as-yet-unbeatable package of image quality, performance, and design, even for its rather high price. | A good option if you're looking for something fast with a viewfinder and tilting LCD, the Sony Alpha SLT-A37 is a solid but not outstanding sub-$800 dSLR-style camera. | The Nikon D5200 makes a great choice for family and vacation photographers. | Though it's a perfectly fine entry-level camera, there are better options for the money than the Canon EOS Rebel T3. |
