The Bottom Line	The Olympus Evolt E-330 is a very good midrange dSLR with unique live scene viewing on its large LCD.	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.	Its feature set is basic even by entry-level standards, but the Nikon D3000 delivers the photo quality and performance you expect when stepping up to a dSLR, with an optional interface that's very beginner friendly.	The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, and it's a better deal than its slightly higher-end sibling, the A330.
