Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i
What reviews say:

'Plenty of features for beginners to grow.'

'The 600D now sits at the top-end of the company's entry-level SLR range, taking all the bits that made the 60D good and shrinking them down a bit.'

'Simple, flexible, artistic.'

'The T3i's controls can be frustrating to operate.'

Pentax K-r
What reviews say:

' 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.'

Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i
What reviews say:

'The level of detail you get out of the camera is impressive too.'

'very easy camera'

'In short, the EOS 550D / T2i isn't best-suited for serious action photography, and falls behind much of the competition in this respect.'

'the 550D will be more than able to rise to the occassion.'
