Best 5 digital cameras

As the name implies, here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board. To make it here, a camera really has to blow our socks off. That doesn't happen very often. If it did, our notion of "best" wouldn't mean much, would it? So check back periodically to see if any new models have left us barefoot and speechless. 

Canon EOS 5D Mark II (body only) 

A great follow-up to the 5D and top-flight full-frame camera, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II delivers the fluid shooting experience and fine photos you expect from a professional model.

Price: $2,075.00 - $3,245.00 (check prices)

Excellent

Overall score: 8.6 (4.0 stars)

Nikon D7000 (body) 

An excellent dSLR for experienced shooters or Nikon professionals looking for a relatively cheap option, the Nikon D7000 delivers on almost all counts, including the company's best shooting design to date.

Price: $1,199.95 - $1,199.99 (check prices)

Excellent

Overall score: 8.5 (4.0 stars)

Canon PowerShot S95 

 

Though we'd like it to perform better, dSLR shooters looking for a sidekick camera will find the Canon PowerShot S95's top-flight photos and a full manual feature set worth the tradeoff of its compact size.

Price: $369.00 - $493.55 (check prices)

Excellent

Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (with 20mm lens) 

The best interchangeable-lens compact we've see thus far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 delivers great photo quality and performance in an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience. Like competitors, however, the lack of an optical viewfinder limits its usability for photographing action.

Price: $599.00 - $899.95 (check prices)

Excellent

Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)

Kodak EasyShare Z915 (blue) 

The pocket megazoom Kodak EasyShare Z915 is a good camera for those looking to step up from a fully automatic compact camera to something with more manual controls and a longer lens.

Price: $165.68 - $199.95 (check prices)

Very good

Overall score: 7.6 (3.5 stars)
