>>camera selection is a personal decision that should come down to individual workflow needs

For me, as a non-pro (so no time or financial pressure as regards what I do with a camera), it's more about how well a camera body fits my hands and whether I have to menu-dive to get it to do what I want. On top of that, I'm looking for low light capability and whether the glass I already own will work on it.

It's a major pity local camera shops are disappearing. It used to be just an afternoon to get the 'feel' of different bodies. For instance, the first time I went DSLR shopping, it was pretty clear that as a guy with big hands it was Canon or Nikon. Both had idiosyncrasies, but I had some Nikon film-era glass - which made the choice for me.

These days, it's a choice of renting a few representative cameras or traveling to wherever the nearest camera shop is. If NYC is within range, B&H and Adorama makes a trip worth considering (I've had spectacularly good luck with both these places). If a new camera is out of budget, B&H has a great used department.
