Typical price: £370
What is it: Upgraded 6-megapixel dSLR with dust removal system
What we think: The 'Super' justifies its suffix with swift, easy operation and colourful images

Tags: pentax, anti, matter, iso
We like:
Results on a par with 10-megapixel competitors; 18-55mm lens included in price; 11-point autofocus system; warm, colour-rich images straight out of the camera; easy to use; reliable all-rounder
We don't like:
Bundled with non-rechargeable AA batteries; image noise at higher settings
CNET UK judgement:
In many ways, the operation and performance of the Pentax K100D Super exceeds expectations, given both its price and 'mere' 6-megapixel resolution. For just £370, it represents one of the biggest dSLR bargains out there for anyone looking to make the trade up from a compact or swap from a film SLR

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
