Nikon D40 review

The D40 has been designed to be easy to master -- you don't need to be a photographic genius -- but it also has enough functionality to satisfy those wanting to take their hobby further. We think the image quality from the 6.1-megapixel sensor will astonish those used to compact cameras Read more

Olympus E-400 review

Packing 10 megapixels of recording power, a choice of memory card formats and decent battery life, this is the kind of camera that will appeal to newcomers to dSLR photography. Auto focusing and a good range of auto options will help you learn the finer points, but it's only available in a kit with two lenses Read more

Samsung GX-20 review

This top-end digital SLR is not for beginners, that much is for sure. It's solid and produces accurate exposures with deeply colourful pictures, but there's also a crude side to its design. And, since it's essentially the same camera as the Pentax K20D, it's worth a scrutinising look, even if the price is right Read more

Olympus E-450 review

The 10-megapixel E-450 makes a number of subtle but welcome improvements over its predecessor, the E-420, and, as a result, is a worthwhile entry-level digital SLR. Offering good picture quality, comfortable handling and diminutive dimensions, it's a strong contender if you're looking to step up from a compact Read more

Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 review

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 is a likeable entry-level dSLR. With its 14-megapixel CCD, flip-up LCD, sensor-shift image stabiliser and built-in wireless flash controller, this feature-packed snapper seems like a cornucopia of photographic goodness for the budget shopper Read more

Pentax K-x review

The entry-level, 12.4-megapixel K-x digital SLR is zippy, delivers good photo quality and is one of the few cameras in its price range to offer 720p video-capture capability. It's not without its downsides, such as unreliable image stabilisation, but it's a flexible, budget dSLR that delivers Read more

Canon EOS 400D review

Featuring a higher-resolution chip than the earlier 350D, the EOS 400D otherwise shares much of its functionality. Canon's new model comes with a small, light kit lens and features a large main LCD -- an exceptionally readable, in-your-face medium for monitoring settings Read more

Nikon D5000 review

A long-awaited replacement for the D80, the D5000 brings significant new features to the entry-level dSLR. With a CMOS sensor, a flip-down-and-swivel LCD, an improved AF system and a fancy interactive display, there's plenty to like about it, especially with the quality of photos it produces Read more

Olympus E-30 review

The 12-megapixel E-30 is sturdy and comfortable to grip, packed with features and offers fast performance. Most importantly, it takes very good pictures, rendering colours accurately under most conditions. Advanced shooters not yet wedded to a Canon or Nikon system should give it a look Read more

Canon EOS 450D review

The Canon EOS 450D delivers hands-down, best-in-class photo quality. Its colour accuracy, dynamic range and consistently good noise clearly put this 12-megapixel model in front of the pack, even though its features and design do little to impress. It's certainly worth the price hike over its rivals Read more
