Shame it not change much from the last list, it' cannot be true as the D4 has not been released, so I cannot believe what has been posted and the 5Dmk111 is a better comers all round, and if it's right the D4 is better than the D800 and it will not have the white spot issue like the D800 has.

The D4 was a full production version that was reviewed. The D4 lost quite a noticeable amount in it's score due to it's price.

So it's better than the D800 then forgetting the price so it has to be the top one, as the D800 has the white spot issue on long exposures coming through onto the photo's

Canon Fanbois, Nikon Fanbois, Apple Fanbois all busy defending their purchases trying not to look a muppet. Sure the sensor is like important but it's only a part of the camera, like the engine on a car. If all the other parts don't match then sure it's going to be let down.

Ulitmately though, it has to be the user that makes a camera shine?

Really pleased the 650D made it into your top 10. Smile

Surprised not to see the Nikon D7100 on this list, i replaced my Canon with this and would never look back, it's worth having a look at http://digitalcameraspy.com and it seems to be up to date with all the latest new releases
