2. Fujifilm X100s (new to list)

With its retro styling and fixed lens design, the Fuji X100s is sure to be a hit. We love the camera's image quality and fast AF. The X100s is mostly the same camera as the X100 except for the new autofocus, a few new button placements, revamped autofocus and new manual focusing methods. Users now have the option of using either a split prism display in the EVF mode or they can use focus peaking.

3. Canon PowerShot SX50 HS (previously #1)

Canon introduced the new SX50 HS, the successor to the very popular Canon PowerShot SX40 HS, at the semi-annual Photokina imaging products trade show in Cologne, Germany this past fall. The fifth generation Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is an entry-level DSLR-sized point and shoot digital camera that is essentially an evolutionary update; however, at least one of the new features seems almost revolutionary.

 4. Sony NEX-6 (new to list)

The 16MP Sony NEX-6 packs a powerful punch for a compact ILC. Great image quality,EVF, built in flash and Wi-Fi make it a fan favorite. With each evolution, Sony's NEX-series continues to improve with broader features and, more importantly, better performance and the Sony NEX-6 is no exception with its hybrid AF system, a real mode dial, standardized hotshoe, and Wi-Fi. And, unlike many of its competitors, this small camera features an electronic viewfinder and a built-in flash.

5. Nikon D600 (previously #7)

If you're interested in full-frame shooting the D600 is an excellent camera. It delivers on all counts: image quality, feature set and performance. Targeting advanced amateurs, enthusiasts and pros who want a smaller, lighter second or third camera body, the D600 brings with it a good mix of features and a price tag that won't break the bank. Granted, at $2,100, the D600 isn't inexpensive, but it puts full-frame shooting within the reach of a broader group of photographers than ever before.

6. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 (previously #2)

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100, at first sight, might look like just another point and shoot. But with a newly designed sensor that boasts a robust 20.2 million pixels the RX100 is out to prove it can makes its way to the top of the charts. Add to those stats a Carl Zeiss lens with superior auto focus capabilities and you have a winning combination.

7.Nikon Coolpix P510(previously #3)

The Nikon Coolpix is primed for action with a 3.0-inch articulated LCD, built-in EVF, 42x optical zoom lens and 1080 HD video recording. It packs in the equivalent of a 1000mm telephoto lens -up until recently, the biggest lens on the market.

9. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V (previously #8)

The HX200V dropped in the charts. Although it doesn't have all of the zoom range of the P510, it's 30x optical zoom with Zeiss branding is plenty impressive. It offers GPS tracking, a speedy auto focus system and 1080 HD video recording.

10.Samsung WB250F (new to list)

The Samsung WB250F is a fun, compact smart camera equipped with Wi-Fi and kid friendly, unique in-camera editing features. The Samsung WB250 is a lightweight point and shoot camera that is easily pocketable. The body of the camera is made of a plastic material that allows for the camera's all-day-go-anywhere mentality.
