In 2006, five 10MP cameras hit the U.S. market, all packed with high-end features and priced at $1,000 or less (street) — including, in four cases, a kit lens: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP, Nikon D80 10.2MP, Pentax K10D 10.2MP, Samsung GX-10 10.2MP, and Sony Alpha 100 10.2MP. PopPhoto compared the models head-to-head on performance and features and the conclusion is:

1. Nikon D80
2. Canon EOS Rebel Xti
3. Pentax K10D (tie)
3. Samsung GX-10 (tie)
5. Sony Alpha 100

There has to be a winner, and, given its image quality and near-pro-level feature set, the Nikon D80 was hardly a surprise. We’re more than happy, though, to use any of these superb cameras.
