Pentax K-m

Reviews

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A300

    The A300 is the piggy in the middle of Sony's entry-level dSLR line-up. But does it suffer from middle child syndrome or is it the pick of the bunch?

  • Canon EOS 50D

    The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.

  • Canon EOS 1000D

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

  • Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS lens

    A lightweight, compact design with its stabilisation and an affordable price make the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS a versatile lens for entry-level shooters and amateurs on a budget.

  • Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens

    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

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A350
