Samsung GX-10 review

The Samsung GX-10 is a feature-packed, well-designed and capable shooter, especially for its price range. Its menus and buttons are easily manipulated and its dust-and-weather-sealed body is comfortable to hold. With a large feature set, this 10-megapixel snapper is one to consider 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

Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 review

Sony's first digital SLR marks the Japanese giant's entry into the top division of digital still imaging. With a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a bevy of convenience features such as eye-start autofocus and a CCD-shift image stabilisation system, Sony has delivered a worthy competitor in the sub-£800 dSLR market Read more

Canon EOS 1000D review

The Canon EOS 1000D reflects the narrowing gap between compacts and digital SLRs. With its lightweight build and 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, the dSLR is an unintimidating camera. Will its compact-style features pack enough punch to sway buyers from other entry-level shooters? Read more

Canon EOS 500D review

The 15-megapixel EOS 500D is an impressive entry-level digital SLR, offering sharp pictures and speedier performance than some more expensive models, as well as solid hi-def video capability. There are some annoyances, such as the viewfinder, but the camera's performance offers adequate compensation 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

Olympus E-420 review

Olympus' entry-level dSLR is the world's smallest and lightest digital SLR. An upgrade of the E-410, the E-420 boasts a larger, better, 69mm LCD, improved autofocus in live view mode, face detection and slightly faster continuous shooting 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

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
