-SLR-

* Nikon D40x $750

* Nikon D40 $550, CR Best Buy Excellent choices for a camera to grow with, and both give you access to Nikon's extensive lens selection. The D40x has a 10-megapixel sensor and can shoot three frames per second for up to 100 JPEG images. But what sets this, and the 6-megapixel D40, apart from other Nikon SLRs is not only their small size but their graphical interface: You use a big, 2.5-inch LCD to find important exposure information and a help button to find out what each setting means.

* Olympus Evolt E-410 $700

For SLR quality plus the ability to compose your shots on the camera's LCD (just like a point-and-shoot). It has 10 megapixels, hardware-based dust removal, custom RAW+JPEG settings, and various spot meters. It's also one of the lightest SLRs we've tested.
