We’ve seen quite a selection of new cameras here at CES 2012 and here we bring you our top picks. From a brand new system camera from Fujifilm, to a high-end DSLR from Nikon, right the way through to a model with built-in wi-fi from Samsung. Let us know which is your favourite in the comments section below.

1) Canon PowerShot G1X

The latest camera to join the popular Canon G-Series this camera promises the photo quality you would expect from a DSLR from the body of a compact camera. A host of manual controls and a larger sensor than earlier models in the range makes this one to beat.

2) Nikon D4

Costing not much short of £5000 for the body alone, this is likely to be a choice for professional photographers only. It supports iPhone and iPad connectivity through a pre-loaded app so you can plug in an Apple device, and view pictures on the larger screen as well as control a number of settings.

3) Fujifilm X Pro 1

This retro styled interchangeable lens system camera is based around the same design as the X100. And similarly, it offers a hybrid viewfinder that can either function as an optical viewfinder or as an electronic viewfinder. Fujifilm claims the 16Mp CMOS sensor offers ‘optimum image clarity’.

4) SamsungWB150

There’s built-in wi-fi so you can email photos directly from the camera or upload them to Facebook without connecting to a computer. As a camera it offers a full range manual controls, including a full manual mode where you can select aperture and shutter speed settings.

5) Sony Bloggie Live

Okay, so this one’s not strictly a camera but you can use this camcorder to take still photos, and the built-in wi-fi means like the WB150 you can upload them straight to the web. It can capture 12.8Mp photos but only has a 8GB internal memory – it can’t accept further memory cards. But what makes this gadget interesting is that it can stream what you shoot live online and record in high-quality to the memory simultaneously.
