Advantages: Takes most Nikon lenses, good controls, great picture quality.
Disadvantages: None really

...little biased. Ownership of several Nikon lenses decided the choice, and I wasn't disappointed. It's easy to use or can be customised to suit exactly what you want. Great results, and the built in flash isn't bad either. Does everything that I need and a whole lot more besides. If you've ever owned one of the AF film Nikons, most of the controls should be fairly instinctive. I added the 17 - 80 AFS lens, which I use most of the time. The standard ... Read review

Advantages: small and light
Disadvantages: none

...compact compared to some earlier Nikon film cameras although not as small as the less expensive D40, D50 and D60 models. It fits nicely in the hand despite being small (I actually prefer cameras to be bigger than this, but I am probably quite old fashioned and in a minority) and all of the important functions are easily accessible even while looking through the view-finder. In fact the main functions are in exactly the same place they have always ...
...professional cameras such as the Nikon D3. As for the photographic results, I certainly can't complain. The metering and focusing are excellent and colours appear very vibrant and images very sharp. Overall this is a very good mid-priced DSLR sitting between the inexpensive new D60 and the more expensive "prosumer" D300, in terms of price, functionality and robustness. It is a widely available product and very popular. The built-in auto-focus motor ... Read review

Advantages: perfect grip, large prismatic viewfinder
Disadvantages: doesn't have internal memory

Nikon D80 My first real DSLR camera, which I have become addict to even if it requires me to learn a lot and keep challenging myself into operating it better and better ammoed with knowledge. It had been my dream to own a SLR camera, I've always had a passion for the big cameras and I was jealous of the pro photographers and the pictures they got. When I was little, my parents had an old Czech-made camera including all the stuff you need to ...
...of SLR cameras. Nikon D80 was introduced by Nikon Corporation, a Japanese company, in the end of 2006 and now quite soon its new sister D90 is expected. However, eventhough the camera's not the newest hot stuff on the market, it's a piece of quality product, which was proven by the two years it's been with us. I'm not really gonna list all the technical facts, that you can find anywhere on the internet and it's not my point anyway. I considered both ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent macro, good photo in all lighting conditions
Disadvantages: Bulky (by today's standards), expensive to buy

I've owned this camera for about four years. I bought it after reviewing other cameras in the same price bracket and although the first company I tried to buy it from told me it would be too heavy for a woman (it weighs about 1.5 lbs) I was going from a non-digital SLR that was much heavier. I have never regretted my decision to buy it. The functions are easy to understand and the convenient storage on a CD-RW makes transfer to the computer very ...
...very close photo of flower is a piece of cake. The results are truly professional. It will take a good photo in all light conditions with or without the flash and for really dark situations it has a projected light grid that shows where the centre of the screen is. I would thoroughly recommend it. ... Read review

Advantages: Light weight yet robust
Disadvantages: Small sensor limit's full 35mm lenses, slightly red cast.

I am a professional photographer and use a 20D as one of my backups. This is an excellent semi pro camera that is user friendly enough for any beginner. With image quality suitable for printing up to A2 from a RAW file. I would strongly recommend shooting in RAW wherever possible as the JPEG compression can be very limiting for post shoot editing and any image correction you may need to apply. To get the most out of the camera I would recommend ... Read review
