The Canon EOS 7D is the best all rounder camera, providing you the best of everything that the DSLR range has to offer; as it can compete with the higher end of Canon EOS range but at a fraction of the price but obviously with some compromises.



It has the highest FPS and picture quality and the 7D is water resistant, although it is not water proof. So if you considering in buying a camera; you should go with the 7D or another type of DSLR camera that has a similar water resistant body.



The problem with a DSLR with my understanding, is that if you don't have any camera experience what so ever especially if you have never owned a point and shoot camera, super zoom or hybrid camera system; you might find it difficult to understand the functions on the camera when you buy it. The EOS 60D or the 7D are not entry level cameras; especially the 7D which is the semi-professional SLR.



Therefore, DSLR Nikons or Canons, you will need to take a course in photography foundations before attempting to use the camera; as it won't have a intuitive navigation system to allow you to understand what each function does without looking it up onto the internet, or a youtube video and so forth.



Which is why I went with a Sony SLT-A77, its not a DSLR, but rather a DSLT; with DP Reviews comparing the body to the EOS 7D. The only up side for the 7D is the slightly higher picture quality. But the SLT-A77 so far has been very easy to navigate even though I do have about 5 years of camera experience. It is also water and dust resistant just as the 7D is also. But it has other features that the 7D doesn't and it was only released in August 2011 so still relatively new.

For quality, the DSLR may gain the advantage with a larger APS-C sensor. The system will be more expandable. It will also be more user friendly to doing more manual control.

The Nikon 1 J3 of course can lose something to the smaller sensor, although that may be partly compensated for by being newer. The J models seem to be designed to favor the full auto point-n-shooter, with manual control available but less accessible. If you have great ambitions to add more than modest telephoto and other special lenses, the Nikon 1 is not well suited to that.

The Nikon 1 cameras, like many other CSC's do gain some advantage for travel by their compactness, while having a jump in image quality over even more compact cameras. So the best can depend on your situation. If your money supply is good enough, you don't have to make whatever you buy now your one and only lifetime camera. Some carry a CSC for lighter travel and a DSLR for heavier travel.

There are other CSC's that could be worth considering. My lighter travel camera is an Olympus E-PL3 which is pretty well laid out for doing a lot of manual setting tinkering.

This type of question gets asked about which Camera Manufacture, Camera Model is better, recommended, or “Which One I Should Get” far too often.



It comes down to personal preference where some may like how Nikon feels in their hands or how the layout of the Nikon Cameras are. Vice Verse on Canon Cameras.



Nikon fans would be saying to get Nikon. Same thing with Canon Fans where they would be saying to get Canon.



So otherwise it all comes down to personal preference.

Out of these, the 60D, D5300 and D7000 would be the best. T5i is pretty much like the much cheaper T3i.



With ease is a very relative term, anyone can learn how to use a DSLR camera, especially with the internet and so much help ;) What about Nikon D5200? It's 99% like the D5300, only cheaper!

Right now? D600. No question.



The D600 will be overpriced for months after it is launched. It will eventually drop to a more sensible street price, probably early next year.



The D800 has already dropped from its stupidly high introductory price. At the moment he D800 is a much better camera for not too much more money.



Until the D600 price drops and the differential makes the D600 a sensible proposition I would go with the D800.

Pass on the D90 since its a 2008 & has been replaced by the D7000. The D5100 has a much better sensor than the D90. Go to a local camera shop, try out the D3100 and if you like it, buy it.

60D is still superior to the 600D. Video wise, they're pretty much the same but 60D has a pentaprism viewfinder which means you get a brighter picture when looking through it. 60D has 9 cross type focus points vs 1 on the 600D and the 60D has a higher burst rate than the 600D. For video alone, 600D should be fine but for photographs, 60D is still supreme.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III is best.

I'd take Pentax over either, and my brother swears by Sony.



Our parents didn't raise morons, though. The best DSLR for you is the one that feels right in your hands, manufacturer is irrelevant, and no matter how much you spend on a camera, you can't buy the skill to use it properly.

Nikon D90, because I own one. If I had to replace it, I'd get the Nikon D7100.

I'd recommend nothing without knowing what your 5D isn't doing for you.



A platform change is expensive in money and time to learn a new system

My favourite DSLR is my EOS450D.

Because it is the only one I have.

When it dies it will be replaced by a 70D or whatever the equivalent is when the time comes.
