Sony Alpha DSLR-A380

While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

As long as you don't want to make enlargements from full-sized images, the DSC-HX1 is an interesting, fully featured superzoom. Just beware of that exorbitant price.

Reviews

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A330

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, but unless you really want Live View its cheaper sibling, the A230, is a better deal.

  • Olympus E-P1

    Though it's rather expensive, we can't help adoring the E-P1. The pictures it takes with the included lenses are mostly great, just don't expect compact-like features such as a viewfinder and flash to be included.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A230

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, and it's a better deal than its slightly higher-end sibling, the A330.

  • Olympus SP-570 Ultra Zoom

    The 10-megapixel SP-570UZ boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, but poor performance diminishes its potential as an otherwise solid superzoom.

  • Olympus E-510

    The Olympus E-510 has quirky exposure and white-balance issues, but its Live View and image stabilisation modes may make some photographers give this SLR a chance.

  • Canon PowerShot G9

    The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.

  • Olympus E-410

    Olympus' compact dSLR for newbies, the Evolt E-410, is a decent choice if you're looking to save space in your bag, but issues with its automatic exposure and white balance make it an unsatisfactory option as a first dSLR.

  • Canon EOS 400D

    The Canon 400D remains a very good first dSLR, with a balance of automatic, semi-automatic and manual controls to progress through as your creative photography skills improve.
