Top 3 Digital SLRs: Olympus E-510, Pentax K100D Super, Canon EOS 400D

What’s the top three digital SLR’s that offer the best overall value and performance, we point you in the right direction with what we feel are the best three.

First up is the Olympus E-510 (photo above), this digital SLR is small, light and boasts the very latest SLR technology, it’s reasonably priced (around $650 US or £600 UK) and extremely portable. The downside is the menus as they are a bit drab.

Another stunner is the Pentax K100D Super, although it only has six megapixels, this SLR takes great photos and it’s very cheap at around $550 US and £400 UK, the downside is the soft optics at times and slow menus.

Lastly on our top three is the Canon EOS 400D, this digital SLR will cost around £400 in the UK and it features 10 megapixels, shoots superb pictures, solidly built and very light. The downside is the anti-dust system that is tantalisingly less than perfect.

They are our choice for top three digital SLRs, what would be yours?
