Successor to the ubiquitous 350D, Canon's affordable yet powerful 400D D-SLR is a serious weapon whether an amateur or pro.

Canon’s SLR fails to make the enormous splash of its predecessors, but it’s still a great camera in its own right.

High performance with a matching price tag.

Not flawless, but Sony’s debut DSLR impresses with a 10.2-megapixel resolution and built-in anti-shake.

A good camera at the price, but perhaps not as great as you thought it was going to be. Its shortcomings will nag at you like an old fishwife

A very tidy solution for streaming your downloaded video to the TV, without the need for a full Media Center PC.

The lack of a separate status LCD is annoying, but the 400D is great value and capable of great quality

Superb build quality and performance make this a worthwhile upgrade for serious amateurs.

More expensive than its direct competition, but thanks to its brilliant features the D80 is money well spent.

A significant overhaul and a great camera. At this price it’s the best all-round package on the market

The entry-level market is heating up with new cameras from Canon, Pentax, and Sony.

Logan Booker puts lens to camera and takes a shot at digital photography.

A decent enough addition to the legendary EOS range, but there are too many competitors at this price.
