Some hands on DSLR reviews

Here's some DSLR i manage to get my hands on. Might do more in the future. First of all my reviews will be quite short as i accidentally deleted my compiled reviews because i forgot to rename the .txt file so i thought it was junk and deleted. >.<"

I'll just state some stand out features and some negative points. Ask me more if there's any doubt. :)

Pentax K200D

Pentax K200D

-10 mp

-built in shake reduction

-2.7 inch screen

-weather proof body

1)Build quality is top in its group with weather proof body. This means some dust or rain won't affect you taking any pictures. But do not while the camera is weather proof some lens might not be.

2)Image quality is very very good with good noise level.

3)Mono screen for extra info.

4)Built in anti shake like the sony alpha means it works wonders with any lens, producing sharp images even when capturing by hand.

Nikon D90

Nikon D90

-12.3mp

-4.5fps shooting

-6400 max iso

-11 point AF

-3 inch screen

-HD video recording 720p

-very good kit lens

1)Excellent image quality. Better that EOS 450D slightly. Noise level is also better with iso sensivity of 6400 max.

2)Build quality is very solid with extra mono screen for fast viewing of modes.

3)First DSLR to have video recording(HD). Which is very useful as DSLR do not have video recording capability.

4)Quality and features is comparable to some highend dlsr.

Nikon D60

Nikon D60

-10 mp

-2.5 inch screen

-good kit lens

1)Built quality is good. Body is abit small though, so for people with big hands or long fingers might find this a problem.

2)Picture quality is good with many options to choose from which helps in better pic quality. 3)Noise level is acceptable for a budget DSLR.

4)Other models like Canon EOS 1000D and Sony A200 are not reviewed because their differences is not much but if picture quality is a concern then the D60 or 1000D Would be the best choice.

Sony Alpha 350

Sony aplha A350

-14.2mp

-tilting monitor

-2.5fps shooting

-quick live view

-built in anti shake into camera body

1)Pic quality is good but shows among the worst noise level in this group. This lies in the 14.2mp cramped into the sensor making noise a problem

2)The tilting monitor is good for easy viewing and the good thing about the built in anti shake is that it can be used with any lens. It helps alot with lens without IS.

3)Built quality is abit cheap. Feels fragile like some sort of cheap plastic.

4) Have quite good auto focus features suitable for beginners.

5)The viewfinder seems smaller than the rest.

Canon EOS 450D

Canon EOS 450D

-3 inch screen

-12.2 mp

-14 bit processing raw

-3.5fps shooting

-9 point AF

-good IS kit lens

-Digic 3

1)Basically it produces very good pic quality, Very good in low light eg. low noise level.

2)The size is nice to hold, lightweight compared to other brands. This is important as added weight is gonna be heavy to carry.

3)Built quality is very good except no weather proofing.

4)The 9 point AF is very useful and accurate.

5)With the Digic 3 processor its also more smooth operating.

Well that's the short reviews there. In terms of features, modes and operation it's best to acually go to a shop to test those functions out. Then only you can understand its capability. Another option is to go to youtube to see video reviews of DSLR. 

The purpose of this review is to give you an rough idea on which DSLR is suitable for you as different people have different needs.

In my opinion i would go for either Canon EOS 450D or Nikon D90. D90 have some features which is good to have but at a price of 1.5k more than the 450D it all comes down to how deep your pocket is.. XD

Bout the prices here it is ( based on the cheapest price i can find )

Pentax K200D - RM2600

Canon EOS 450D - RM2500

Nikon D90 - RM3900

Nikon D60 - RM1900

Sony Alpha 350 - RM2300
