Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pentax K-m

    We like the K-m and the image quality it offers, but having to fumble over the inconsistent metering and white balance can be an issue for users not familiar with manual exposure controls.

  • Pentax Optio E60

    The Pentax Optio E60 is an inexpensive compact camera that doesn't require much expertise to use and produces good photos.

  • Pentax Optio M60

    The cutesy styling of the M60 won't be to everyone's taste, but silver metal accents, 5x zoom and respectable image quality will make the Pentax attractive to adults too.

  • Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS

    The Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS boasts razor-sharp tailoring, and although there isn't much going on beneath the impeccable styling, it is a perfectly capable point-and-shoot.

  • Canon EOS 1000D

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