With that in mind, here are what are considered to be perhaps the on the market for 2013.

This is the new flagship in the Canon range and costs $6999 but has all the up to date technology, including a new revolutionary auto focus system. This camera has full versatility and comes with two flash card slots.

This is an improvement on the E-3 although it keeps the same design. Considering that this is the top of the range for Olympus, it does not seem too impressive on specs but from practical use, it is hard to beat.

04: Sony SLT65

This camera uses a fixed mirror that reduces the possibility of shaking during photography. Although this camera has an extensive array of features and customization options, it tends to be short on battery life.

05: Sony SLT77

This is a little bigger than the SLT65 and will cost about an extra $400. It does though have a faster speed, more flexibility in EV and flash modes plus the screen is more versatile and can be placed in a larger assortment of tilts and angles. It is still short on battery life though.

06: Canon EOS 60D

This camera provides excellent performance, it is easy to use and is perhaps the only camera that can work with standard AA batteries (with the optional AA holder). Perhaps one draw back is that there is no auto focus on video mode.
