Canon EOS 500D

The 500D is a very capable camera that is ideal for someone entering the world of digital SLRs. The inclusion of high-definition video adds even more appeal to the already good-looking package.

Reviews

  • Nikon Coolpix L100

    The L100 is a curious contender for the superzoom crown. It only has a 15x optical zoom and is hampered by a lack of manual controls, but it is light and portable. Just don't expect stellar image quality.

  • Ricoh GX200

    As a portable alternative to a dSLR, the GX200 is an incredibly competent camera for serious photographers. Some noise and styling issues aside, Ricoh has clearly put an incredible amount of thought into this little package.

  • 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 Digital IXUS 870 IS

    Though the 870 IS isn't perfect, it still remains an excellent compact camera. With a wide-angle lens and super-fast image processing times, the IXUS is an ideal combination of style and substance.

  • Nikon Coolpix P6000

    The P6000 is one of the first cameras to include GPS and it could well carve a niche for Nikon, but it has a lot of potential to be a better camera.

  • Nikon D3

    Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

    The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today.

  • Canon EOS 1000D

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

But just in case you're not, why not let an expert show you the ropes?
