Online Photographer's final FIVE recommended camera picks - 05-04-2009, 02:35 PM


Mike Johnston of The Online Photographer has the final five of his top ten recommendations of cameras and why.

5 - Sony Alpha 900

4 - LX3 Panasconic

3 - A mid-level 4/3 or APS-C DSLR of the brand of your choice.
This group currently includes:
The Nikon D90
The Olympus E-30
The Canon 50D
The Pentax K20D
The Sony A700

2 - TBD in June (Mike must have a rumor of something coming)

1 - Nikon D700

I guess it is good that two, maybe soon 3 of my cameras are in the top 5. (Counting my A700 as #3, haha) Really curious about that TBD.

I've been reading rumors of a possible 1DMkIV this summer, but I never put any weight in such rumors.

Of course, all the Pentax people think the TBD is the soon-to-be-announced K7D from Pentax. :)
