They tested 8 DSLRs in the lower price bracket including
the new Pentax, Canon 20D, Olympus E-300, Nikon D70, Minolta,
Olympus E-1.
I couldn't draw any conclusions about which one is the "best" since
they all had flaws/positives. It appears the Canon 20D is still the
benchmark overall, with the Olympus getting poor marks for noise
at higher ISO settings.
I seems that no matter which camera you choose, none will be major
disappointments.

The interesting thing is the recommended maximum print sizes.
The Olympus E-300 and Canon 20D took the best marks here.

However, given it wasn't in the test, and given it's improvements,
the new Rebel XT/350 Canon could be the best of the bunch when
everything is given equal weight.
