Review summary	The instant reaction to K-m is that it’s like all the rest but a fraction cruder. It’s true that the kit lens isn’t up to much, but look at the rest of it -- a stainless steel chassis, expanded dynamic range, the best anti-shake system on the market and surprising depth in both its images and its photograpic options Read full review	Canon's EOS-1D Mark III offers a luxurious cocktail of high-resolution, extremely low noise, blazingly fast burst shooting, abundant customisation and a build quality and ergonomic design among the best you'll find in today's camera market Read full review	Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture. As long as you can get used to this camera's solid weight, it's a definite step up from the D2Xs and produces high-quality photography. This one is definitely aimed at the pros, so amateurs beware Read full review	The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera Read full review
