Sony Alpha DSLR-A350
Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.
-
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.
-
Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10
A nice body design and good image quality make the DMC-L10 an enticing entry-level SLR, but a pricey kit lens makes this kit too expensive.
-
Sony Alpha DSLR-A700
A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems.

Olympus E-510
The Olympus E-510 has quirky exposure and white-balance issues, but its Live View and image stabilisation modes may make some photographers give this SLR a chance.
