5-megapixel shootout: Conclusion
It has been a hard-fought battle between these three similarly configured cameras. After losing much sleep and hair, we've decided to give the crown to Sony's V1. At AU$200 cheaper than the other two competitors, the V1 provides the best value for your dollar. With the amount saved, you can put it into a bigger capacity Memory Stick media. We are aware that MemoryStick is more expensive than the CompactFlash cards that the Nikon and Canon uses. However, when the sums are done, we still think the V1 will bring your dollar further. The other added advantage of Memory Stick is the fact that it can be used on just about any other Sony electronic device--a feat that's only just being challenged by HP with the use of SD (Secure Digital) cards.However, if money's no object and performance is all that matters, the Canon and Nikon will go down well, too. The Nikon 5400 is zippy and possesses good macro performance. On the flip side, the Canon G5 is a good all-round performer and is quick when working with RAW images.
