24.3 megapixels | 3" screen | Full frame sensor
The Sony SLT A99 is Sony's flagship full frame interchangeable lens camera., and nominally replaces the A900, which was released all the way back in 2008.
The thoroughly modern A99 features a 24MP 36x24mm CMOS sensor that features on-sensor phase detection, creating a dual AF system that promises improved focus tracking and focus precision. It also includes Sony's Quick Navi interactive status panel and a host of features for video shooters, including a 'silent' control dial, mic and headphone sockets and focus peaking, to make the most of its 1080p60 HD video capability.

12.1 megapixels | 3" screen | 28 � 140 mm (5�)
Canon's PowerShot G-series is one of the most iconic lines of digital compact cameras, with the original G1 having debuted right back in September 2000. Typically, G-series models over the years have sported fast lenses, articulated LCDs, optical viewfinders, Raw data recording and lots of external control, and were aimed at enthusiasts.
The PowerShot G15 is a successor to the popular G12 and is built around a 12MP, 1/1.7" CMOS sensor. Its lens also gets an upgrade - retaining its 28-140mm range but now with a maximum aperture of F1.8-2.8. It loses the G12's articulated screen but gains a higher-resolution, 920k dot panel.

20.2 megapixels | 3" screen | Full frame sensor
The 20MP Canon EOS 6D is Canon's smallest, lightest and most affordable full-frame DSLR yet, aimed at enthusiast photographers. As well as a newly-developed CMOS sensor the 6D features an 11-point autofocus system with a single cross-type point at the center of the array. Canon says the 6D will focus in lower light than any of its previous EOS cameras. The 6D becomes the company's first EOS model to include GPS and Wi-Fi built in, to make sharing images easier. It uses its large sensor to offer a native ISO range of 100-25,600, expandable to 50-102,400.
