Reviews

  • Canon EOS 1000D

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Olympus E-410

    Olympus' compact dSLR for newbies, the Evolt E-410, is a decent choice if you're looking to save space in your bag, but issues with its automatic exposure and white balance make it an unsatisfactory option as a first dSLR.

  • Pentax K10D

    A great feature set for the price, pro-level customisation, and excellent photo quality make the Pentax K10D a bargain amateur dSLR. Only unremarkable performance holds it back from joining the pack leaders.

  • Canon EOS 400D

    The Canon 400D remains a very good first dSLR, with a balance of automatic, semi-automatic and manual controls to progress through as your creative photography skills improve.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1

    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 is Panasonic's first digital SLR, and it's the second digital SLR to feature a live-view LCD screen.

  • Nikon D40

    The Nikon D40 is a great transition camera for going from point-and-shoot to your first dSLR.
