Don't buy a compact digital camera!" That's the advice most photographers will give you these days, mostly because DSLR (digital single lens reflex) models are finally coming down in price - well below $1,000 in some cases. And they carry some major benefits: interchangeable lenses, seeing an accurate representation of the subject matter, and great quality. The Pentax K2000 is an excellent example of this emerging category. It's a good all-around quality DSLR that withstood some fairly unusual testing conditions, provides all the serious amateur-to-prosumer features you'd expect, and even comes in an all-white custom model (we tested the black version). Sure, it's no Nikon D3X or Canon Mark II, but you can easily save a couple of thousand bucks and still get great photographic results.
