Even at £900 this is a bit of a bargain for a semi-pro camera but our tip is to wait for the imminent arrival of the Dynax 5D/lens kit package

A solid entry level DSLR with anti-shake and impressive design.

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

The A330 is a competent, fully featured and easy to use DSLR, but a backward step in some respects.

The Mju has hidden depths with aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes, but alas no fully manual mode

The A700 has excellent image quality, but is let down by design quirks and the high price.

Ignore the price – incredibly low running costs Make this a winner.

A great value camcorder that’s capable of some decent results.
