Vivitar V3300 SE
Very wisely offering the Pentax K mount as lens fitting means that this and the V4000 can tap a huge market of second-hand gear of impeccable quality. Top speed of 1/1000sec belies the age of the design, but that doesn't stop it being truly excellent value for a budget camera

Vivitar V4000
Big brother to the V3300, the V4000 differs mainly in offering a better top speed of 1/2000sec (if you'd ever use it) and a standard zoom lens which opens up much greater compositional possibilities at a two f/stop slower price. The VX4000 is probably the better option of the two, certainly looks more modern.

Sigma SA-5
Strangely enough, this SLR has a huge array of lenses available for it. If they can make lenses that fit Canon, Nikon and Minolta why not make them to fit their own camera too? Like the lens range, this camera has an impressive specification - dedicated flash sync to1/4000th for one. Exposure bracketing fairly mean; 2 f/stops either side of zero but that's not uncommon either.

Ricoh XR-X3000
Modern styling but with traditional values. no highfalutin program modes, just good old aperture-priority and manual. Extra effort has been diverted to additional metering options like spot (questionable for the inexperienced?) And film advance options like auto exposure bracketing. Refreshing to see a maker who doesn't ignore the basics of photographic experience in favour of transient fashions.

Ricoh XR-X 3PF
All the bells and whistles of a thoroughly modern autofocus piece of male jewellery except for one thing – they forgot to put in the autofocus! not just Program mode, but dedicated modes within that for specific subject types, in line with the very latest offerings. Similar levels of control are offered over the built-in flash.

Pentax Z-1P
Very well specified SLR with shutter speeds to 1/8000sec (if you ever use it), plus or minus four f/stops compensation control, a superb meter range of 0-21 EV, flash sync to 1/250sec and a built-in flash too. What more could a person want?

Pentax MZ-M
Multum in parvo, the newly introduced MZ-M is in effect a non-autofocus version of Pentax's popular MZ autofocus models. In hand it feels tiny but beautifully engineered, as Pentax's have been for the last 40 years. The size and styling make it an unusual thing - a pretty camera. Under the surface is a full gamut of exposure modes, a terrific viewfinder crammed with information and a depth of field preview. Hurrah for Pentax!

Pentax MZ-7
OK, the MZ-3 Date shows Pentax can still do it properly but why stick with that mediocre shutter for a third model in a row. The Z1-P is much better specified (at twice the price) but the MZ-30, MZ-5N and this MZ-7 give the distinct impression that Pentax are building down to a price. That is not what they built their excellent reputation on.

Pentax MZ-5N
An MZ-5 update with a superb meter range (0-21EV) shutter speeds to a useful 1/2000sec and a pathetic flash sync of just 1/100sec. Just don't try fill-in flash on an even halfway sunny day. Predictive focus redeems the situation a little, as does the excellent metering system (from the inventors of TTL metering). But oh that sync speed is so restricting.

Pentax MZ-30
In some ways strange with the only option being matrix metering, this may put off some people who feel they may want to take control at some stage. In fact, the metering is very much more reliable than the average user. Anyway, you get a range of program modes to play with. And exposure compensation so you can control the metering after all, just by a roundabout route.

Pentax MZ-3
A limited edition model of the very popular Pentax MZ-5, the difference being a redesigned shutter capable of speeds up to 1/4000sec (marginal use) and a flash sync speed of 1/125sec (big improvement). Quite how long it remains a ‘limited edition' remains to be seen.

Olympus OM 4Ti
There are photographers about who still remember the furore when the original OM1 was launched. Since that time Olympus have built on a superb basic design culminating in the current models. The OM4 offers the traditionalists preferred aperture-priority & manual modes and metering system in a titanium shell. All the traditional Olympus goodies still fit of course.

Olympus OM 3Ti
Top of the tree OM with extensive metering options feeding this manual exposure camera. In addition to centre-weighted, spot and multi-spot the user can measure highlight and shadow areas and compute the desired exposure with full information at hand. not a camera for the technophobe though - a brain is definitely required

Olympus IS 3000
Again, the lens can't be changed but seeing that it ranges from 35mm to 180mm (with optional adapter to 300mm), is the type of person at whom this design is aimed likely to find this an unacceptable restriction? We think not. Pretty good built-in flash too with some interesting effects possible.

Olympus IS 300
Taking all the strengths of the IS-200, this model adds predictive focus to the already competent autofocus and an extended range of shutter speeds (60 seconds instead of 4) for greater scope for experimentation. The effect is a camera with quite extensive capabilities but which won't scare off the technophobes

Olympus IS 200
non-interchangeable lens but definitely an SLR, the IS-200 is often seen as a bridge between compacts and ‘proper' cameras. In fact it is an extremely effective compromise giving all the good points of a full SLR in a single box. no exposure compensation or bracketing is possible but otherwise a versatile solution to the ‘better quality but not to complex' problem.

Nikon FM3A
yes, a new manual focus Nikon (to replace the 20+ year old FM2n). Hybrid shutter - mechanical in manual mode, electronic in aperture-priority mode. now with even brighter viewing screens (choice of three), DX coding and TTL flash control. Still the classic centre-weighted metering which has proved so reliable, along with compatibility with almost all Nikon non model-specific gear
