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.

  • 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.

  • Canon EOS 500D

    The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens is a solidly performing medium-zoom lens, with good optics and image stabilisation, that will appeal to more than just the entry-level crowd.

  • 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.

  • Nikon D60

    Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.

  • 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.
