#1. Canon Digital Rebel XSi - 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

#2. Canon EOS Rebel T1i – 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

#3. Nikon D3000 – 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

#4. Nikon D5000 – 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens and 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD

#5. Nikon D90 DX – 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens

#6. Canon Rebel XS – 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)

#7. Nikon D40 - 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens

#8. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 – 12.1MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens

#9. Canon EOS 50D – 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

#10. Canon EOS 7D -18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-inch LCD and 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

It’s no surprise that Canon and Nikon dominate the list and continue to increase their stranglehold on the market of top-end and entry level DSLRs.

It was nice to see the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 12.1MP Micro Four-Thirds Camera creep in. It’s an interesting looking camera and I’m intrigued by the thought of having something with that much creative control in a smaller and more portable system.
