This list would certainly be a good starting point for those looking to buy a new camera as it does list the most important cameras of 2012.<\/p>\n

If one wants a high image quality, compact, versatile, interchangeable lens camera, then Micro Four Thirds system<\/a> is probably the best for most people and these are represented here by the Olympus E-M5<\/a>, Olympus E-PL5<\/a> and the Panasonic GH-3<\/a> – the latter having the best video quality and features of all the listed cameras.<\/p>\n

If one does not care about interchangeable lenses and just wants good image quality and compact camera size, then the Sony RX100 and RX1<\/a> along with the Olympus Stylus X-Z2<\/a> should be high on your list – see dpreview’s roundup of best compact digital cameras for enthusiasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want a digital SLR<\/a>, then the full frame cameras are the way to go if you can afford them – the Nikon D800<\/a> and its cheaper version, the Nikon D600<\/a>, the Canon 5D Mark III<\/a>, or perhaps the Sony Alpha SLT-A99<\/a>.<\/p>\n
