Pentax's entry level K200D dSLR has low noise even at its highest ISO setting and generally shoots nice images.
Even at ISO 1,600 the K200D keeps noise to a manageable level, a decent amount of sharpness, and colors retain their saturation. Shot details: Pentax K200D; ISO 1,600; 1/200 sec.; f/5.6; SMC P-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II zoomed to 24mm (36mm equivalent in 35mm format)
