I'd put the D12 on par with the Canon 1014 and Nikon R10. The D12 is built like a tank, it'll make the Canon 1014 feel like a plastic toy in comparison and the lens is as sharp as any fixed zoom lens Super 8 you'll find. The main downside is that the fast speeds (32, 54 fps) require the annoying extra power pack. If the price is right then is a great camera to get.
