Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.
Nikon D300s

The D300s is a fast, reliable workhorse for the semi-professional or amateur photographer, and it feels great to use and makes picture taking a real pleasure. But if you don't need HD video, you might want to try the plain old D300 instead.
Olympus E-30

Though it has been surpassed by its competitors in video and image capturing capabilities, the E-30 presents a fun alternative to a run-of-the-mill dSLR.
Nikon D90

In the two-party race that will never end, D90 selected D-Movie as its running mate. Upon close examination though, D-Movie was found to be severely underdone. Good thing then that D90's photo-taking base is so strong and competent.
