The Bottom Line A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems. 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. Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money. It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.
