'excellent camera'

'The EOS 60D also gains a couple of brand-new features of its own.'

'The Canon EOS 60D sits between the EOS 50D and the EOS 7D in Canon's mid-range digital SLR offerings, and it's a mighty beast to shoot with.'

'The Canon EOS 60D is one of the shining stars next to the Pentax K-7 and Olympus E-3, but the fiercest competition comes from the Nikon D7000.'

' The 12.4 effective megapixel K-r is Pentax’s follow-up digital SLR to the entry level K-x, a sound, good value starter option. '

'The Pentax K-r is one of the few worthy intruders, flaunting several improvements over its next in command, the Pentax K-x.'

'exceptionally fast performance'

'If Pentax can step up its efforts to make itself visible in the industry, the K-r is a competitive model in the entry-level dSLR category.'

'The camera also sports a significantly redesigned weather-sealed body, and the new viewfinder has an LCD overlay for providing additional information, like an on-demand grid and electronic levels. and this is the first EOS dSLR to incorporate wireless flash. '

'Overall, the Olympus E-5 produces beautiful pictures in a variety of conditions. '

'overall, shooting with the E-5 was a great experience, with the only downside being its weight.'

'professional level camera'

'Dig a little deeper, however, and you realize that the E-5 is a perfectly sensible upgrade that takes an excellent camera and addresses nearly all the complaints and offers, according to the marketing blurb, the best image quality ever seen in an Olympus DSLR. '

'all the exposures seem brighter, regardless of metering setting, then they were with the D300.'

'Well-made.'

'lovely, vivid images'

'The button layout is extremely similar to what was used on the D300, so anyone familiar with that camera should have a relatively easy time learning the control interface on the D300S.'

'the Pentax K-7 feels tight and solid.'

'The live view experience on the K-7 is quite nice.'

'The camera is robust and confidence-inspiring.'

'the K-7 is much more comfortable to hold with average sized male hands, and doesn't seem anymore cramped.'

'Pros Strong all-round performance'

'Coupled with their BIONZ image processor, the A500 and A550 are optimized for low-light performance and boast a range of up to 12800 ISO. '

'Overall, the Sony A550 and A500 look like good camera designs with some interesting innovations that take advantage of the serious CPU power of Sony's processing chips. '

'The Sony A550 delivers several exciting and unusual capabilities, including in-camera high dynamic range images that come out very well, and a full-resolution burst mode of nearly 7 shots per second. '

'Sony’s Alpha DSLR-A550 is a mid-range DSLR aimed at enthusiasts, featuring 14.2 Megapixels, built-in stabilisation, a vertically-tilting VGA screen, two Live View modes and quick continuous shooting at up to 7fps. '

'Ultimately, the Nikon D90 gets high marks because it's a fast camera that delivers a great shooting experience and first-rate photos for the money.'

'With its very good feature set, excellent image quality, and reasonable price, the D90 is a camera you should absolutely consider if you're shopping for a mid-range SLR. '

'Solid body'

'The 12.3-megapixel D90 is a Mensa-worthy fistful of photo fury that could pave your way to MoMA's permanent collection. '
