SLR Cameras
Sony Alpha A350
A brilliantly implemented live-view mode and high specs don’t justify the extra price over its sibling

Samsung GX10
A feature-rich SLR at a good price. If you can live with the weight and design quirks, that is

Pentax K200D
Pentax enthusiasts will be more than happy, but others may find it overwhelming
Nov 21, 2008 4:10 PM
Panasonic Lunix DMC-L10
A capable enough performer, but it doesn’t offer enough for the money to come out on top.

Olympus E-420
Not the pinnacle of image quality, but superbly compact with plenty of neat features
Nov 21, 2008 3:51 PM
Nikon D60
A good camera but not the most inspiring. There’s better value elsewhere.
Nov 21, 2008 3:20 PM
Nikon D40
The aggressive price and Nikon design know-how mean there’s still a place for the D40

Fujifilm S5 Pro
If you need professional-class ruggedness on a budget, this is a real option.

Canon EOS 1000D
A decent enough addition to the legendary EOS range, but there are too many competitors at this price.

Canon EOS 450D, best quality DSLR under $1,500
The 450D’s superb sensor makes it the best choice if quality is your priority. It doesn't beat the Sony A200 for value, but for the best quality below $1500 the 450D has the edge.

Nikon D700, drool-worthy full frame DSLR
Forget budget DSLR, this is for serious photography. Extravagant in almost every way, the D700 is superbly responsive and produces stunning images

Canon EOS 1000D
Canon’s splashed into shallow end of the DSLR pool again with an entry-level model based on the 450D. Will it win gold or need water wings?

Olympus E-3
Worth the wait. The E-3 matches pro SLR capabilities with the ease of use of an entry-level cam

Samsung GX-10
The brand and the price could prove this camera’s downfall. Who’d buy a Samsung when you can get Pentax for less?

Pentax K20D
Excellent performance and features, but at a price that’s too high
