Olympus OM-D E-M1 Camera
If you're looking for pro-level construction, DLSR-quality images, and the kind of compactness and portability you can only get with mirrorless, you need the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Camera ($1,400). With a body made completely from magnesium alloy, this camera is dust-proof, water-resistant, freeze-proof, and very durable, so you can put it through a lot out in the field. Its 16 megapixel live MOS sensor shoots stunning photos — combine that with image stabilization, accurate autofocus, built-in WiFi, as well as a range of excellent lenses, and you get great photos every time in an easily-managed package. Its micro four-thirds design means this camera is small, light, and portable, so you can pack along more gear on your next photo trip.
