The New Digital SLR Cameras of 2011

The new digital SLR cameras of 2011 should have features that please just about every type of photographer.
From landscape enthusiasts to portrait professionals, the new crop of cameras include advanced autofocus systems, short response times and extensive manual controls.
Those who also want to capture video will find a lot to like since the HDSLR - an SLR that shoots video - is now the norm.
So which one to choose?
Follow your instincts about what you'll take pictures (and videos) of most often, and then see if the camera's feature set is complimentary (and if the price is right).
For example, let's say you want to travel with your camera: pay attention to the dimensions and weight to find the models that won't give you back pain if you carry them all day.
Maybe you want to take pictures of your children: for this, a flexible LCD is a real benefit, since you can hold the camera at their eye level and you can compose your picture without having to get your knees dirty.

If you're new to the world of DSLR video, take a quick look at the HDSLR jargon page to come up to speed. Then come back to this page to see how the new digital SLRs of 2011 compare.
While I've listed the highest quality video each camera can capture in the table above, I also thought it would be helpful to show a chart that JUST compares ALL of the different video options.
