I'm not a pro but my top five:

1. Image quality...obviously
2. Nice viewfinder(big and bright)
3. Control(settings, image parameters etc.)
4. Handling
5. Build quality

to me every camera is like a gun to a soldier.

certain missions require range...

certain missions require light sensitivity...

certain missions require the soldier to be wet/dirty/muddy...

certain missions require a gun to be useful in close range...

certain missions require a gun to be able to hit that target quickly...

just five off the top of my head.

a camera that has speed, sensitivity, weatherabilty, and dexterity makes it a better shooter.

Not in any particular order:

1. Build quality: Materials, weather sealing, etc.

2. Viewfinder: Size, brightness, pentamirror vs. pentaprism

3. Availability of dedicated controls: Do not confuse this with 'manual' controls, as all DSLRs offer that. What I'm referring to here is the availability of separate, dedicated buttons, toggles and switches for things like ISO, white balance, drive mode, etc. Multiple command dials is another plus.

4. Image quality: Resolution, low light/high ISO performance, etc.

5. Availability of accessories: Wireless transmitters, battery grips, interfacing with external lighting, etc.

Nikon D80 | AF-S Nikkor DX 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED | AF Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8D | AF Nikkor 70-210 mm f/4

This is from a newbie's perspective

1. Build quality
2. Popularity where you live (Big issue if you use something like a Sony and no one else uses it there= no chance of trying out the lenses or
getting a second hand one)
3. Good viewfinder
4. Image quality
5. Handling

LOL..good analogy palakaboy!

Being an avid shooter of both cameras and guns, allow me to add:

1) Some missions require a lot of ammo!
..translating that into good batteries and/or battery grips

2) Some missions require you to be able to suppress the enemy with a lot of firepower
....translating into a high FPS rate

3) Some missions require swift reconfigurations of your weapon-system to be able to react to the changing conditions on the battlefied
..translating into a control-scheme (buttons, location of button, intuitiveness of use etc.) that supports fast changes of settings. E.g dedicated buttons for key controls.

4) Some missions require a quick turnaround for repairs - I.e. a comprehensive support structure
...translating into good service-deals/support

Cheers

dont ever point it at anything you don't intend to shoot...

not sure if that one applies here though...hehehe.
