Easy to use, easy to carry and offered at a very attractive price with its 18-70mm zoom lens, the Sony Alpha 200 is a dream camera for beginners who want to start enjoying all the benefits of D-SLR photography. Its 10.2 megapixel sensor delivers top quality images up to ISO 400 and beyond, and the autofocus system is fast and accurate. The large LCD screen gives a clear, bright display when reviewing images, and both the in-camera image stabilisation and the anti-dust system are very effective in use. A superb, low-cost camera that’s easy to use, and a worthy winner of this award. |

With its 12.2 megapixel sensor, an ISO rating between 100 and 1600, a responsive autofocus system and superb image quality, the Canon EOS 450D is an excellent camera to discover the next step in digital photography. Offered in kit form with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, the camera boasts advanced features like Live View, and features an impressive LCD screen which accurately displays the model’s crisp, clean images. Both lightweight and compact, the EOS 450D is simple to use and fast, too, with a burst rate of 3.3 frames per second. |

With its solid design, excellent handling and robust, weather-sealed build quality, the Nikon D300 offers professional quality at a reasonable price. The 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor delivers stunning results – even at ISO 1600 – and it can be boosted to ISO 6400 (Hi 1.0) if needed. The camera sports a fast, responsive autofocus system, the viewfinder offers 100% coverage, the large 3-inch screen gives a bright, clear display and all the high-end features like Live View, HDMI connectivity and anti-dust protection are included. On top of these exceptional features, the D300 shoots at an impressive speed of 6 frames-per-second, and will do this in bursts of 100 consecutive JPEGs or 23 RAWs. |

This professional D-SLR is a milestone for Nikon. It’s the first camera from the company with a full-frame, ‘FX’ sensor size of 23.9x36mm. As a result of this, each pixel featured on the 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor has a larger size, and that means the low-light performance of this camera is truly incredible. The Nikon D3 can easily be used at ISO 6400, and if needed, the ISO can be cranked up to an awesome equivalent of 25,600. The rugged, magnesium-alloy chassis provides a solid foundation for the camera, and its fast burst rate of 9 frames-per-second in full-frame mode provides the necessary speed of use for the most demanding professional. |
