The Bottom Line Visibly better photo quality and slightly improved performance make the Nikon D300 a significant upgrade over the D200 and an excellent all-around choice. Nikon scores big with the D80, its new 10-megapixel, sub-$1,000 dSLR. Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture. A very well-executed megazoom camera, the Canon PowerShot S3 IS reminds you why dSLRs still have competition for photo enthusiasts' hearts. It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.
