The Bottom Line Small improvements fine-tune one of the best digital SLRs in the sub-$1,000 class. Nikon scores big with the D80, its new 10-megapixel, sub-$1,000 dSLR. Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models. Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money. It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.
