Nikon D5100
It took Nikon a while to get SLR video right, but with the D5100 they kick it up a substantial notch, with full 1080p HD movies, a jack for an external microphone, and full-time autofocus while shooting video, not found on other SLRs. Of course, job one is shooting stills and the 16.2-megapixel D5100 does a wonderful job, with ultrafast autofocus and no noticeable shutter lag. A welcome added feature is the beautiful high-res screen that swings away from the camera body and pivots for shooting at all kinds of interesting angles.
