The Bottom Line	A compact design, flexible power sources, and a strong feature set make the Pentax *ist DS a digital SLR for the on-the-move photo enthusiast.	Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.	A solid, slightly better-than-basic dSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i delivers photo quality and performance that adequately compensates for most of its annoyances.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money.
