The Benjamin Kanarek Blog 2009 Camera Awards

Well, being that everyone is doing it, I thought I would put in my two cents worth.

Here are my choices for Camera's of the year and there standing…I won't go in to the why's unless you ask.

Just one point of clarification, I am no longer affiliated with any brand and thus there is no commercial bias.

My Favorite Full Frame DSLR's are the following:

1. Sony Alpha 850
2. Nikon D3X
3. Canon 5D Mkll
4. Canon 1Ds Mklll
5. Sony Alpha 900

My Favorite High End APS-C DSLR's are the following:

1. Canon 7D
2. Pentax K7
3. Nikon D300s
4. Sony Alpha 550

My Favorite Entry Level DSLR's are the following:

1. Pentax K-x
2. Canon 500D
3. Nikon D5000

There you have it. Would love to hear your feedback.

Good list, Ben. My only quibble is that some of the cameras are actually from before 2009. But if they're your favorite cameras of 2009, then that doesn't really matter.

I am curious why you put the Canon 500D above the Nikon D5000 in your entyr-level list. Is it because of the 500D's higher resolution video? For me, the D5000 is much a better camera because of its excellent high ISO image quality and because of the tilt-swivel LCD. I hope that all DSLRs will have that soon. I learned to love it with the Olympus DSLRs and it really annoys me to not have it on the 7D. It's such a huge benefit when you're working on a tripod.
