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.

Sony Alpha A850
Sony's A850 is a full frame sensor digital SLR which is set to go head-to-head with Canon's 5D Mark II and Nikon's D700. With 24.6 megapixels inside and in-body image stabilisation it's certainly not a shrinking violet, either.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A380
While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.

Nikon D3000
As long as you don't expect too many fancy bells and whistles, you won't be disappointed with the quality and performance of the D3000.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1
As long as you don't want to make enlargements from full-sized images, the DSC-HX1 is an interesting, fully featured superzoom. Just beware of that exorbitant price.

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.

Nikon D5000
Judged on its own merits, the D5000 is a great digital SLR for those wanting something a bit better than the entry-level D60 model, and equals or betters a lot of the performance specifications of the D90.

Olympus E-620
If you've been hankering after an Olympus E-30 but baulked at the price, don't despair ... just get the E-620 instead. It's a competent, capable digital SLR in the vein of its older sibling, but a lot smaller and cheaper.
