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.

New firmware for Canon 40D and Nikon D3, D700

The top two SLR makers have released relatively minor firmware revisions for three cameras, Nikon's higher-end full-frame D3 and D700, and Canon's prosumer-grade EOS 40D.

Reviews

Nikon D700

As long as you don't need seriously high-resolution photos, video capture, or machine-gun-fast sports shooting, the Nikon D700 has everything you need in a pro full-frame camera for a reasonable price.
Canon EOS 1000D

The Canon EOS 1000D is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.
Pentax K200D

Pentax's K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year's model.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A200

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a solid entry-level dSLR that doesn't really stand out in its very competitive field.
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera.
Canon EOS 450D

It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS 450D delivers on performance and photo quality.
Canon EOS 40D

Great photo quality and excellent continuous-shooting performance are just two of the Canon EOS 40D's many attractions in the digital camera marketplace.
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.
