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.

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.
-
Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens is a solidly performing medium-zoom lens, with good optics and image stabilisation, that will appeal to more than just the entry-level crowd.
