Brilliant camera for the money well worth it very versatile

Advantages: large resolution, great photos, easy to use, great battery life, great fun!
Disadvantages: obviously its not a £2000 plus camera

...EOS 500D and the other Nikon D5000. this was a very hard choice I found that while playing around with all 3 in shops the D90 had the best video, and more vibrant pictures than the Canon. but that still left me with the two nikons the only thing that separated them in my books was the screens the larger screen on this D90 or the smaller lower resolution on the D5000. and as i like to take lots of photos and look at them i went for the D90. I have ...
...normal photos holiday snaps walks general purpose and it never fails to deliver even for me who has never read a photography book had a lesson. i find that it is able to deliver pictures of great quality and clarity even when a novice like me moves from the standard modes into the manual modes. the lens that comes with it is great. just what you want with a camera of this budget. it covers a good range and focuses quickly but when in dark conditions ...

Review of Nikon D90

Nikon D3000

Advantages: Small and light.
Disadvantages: None so far.

...that embodies some older proven Nikon technology like the 10.2 megapixel CCD from the D60/D80 combined with a new 11 point focus system and a shutter mechanism tested to 100,000 cycles. The body is small, perhaps too small for those with shovel sized hands but it is well made and feels very solid. With a camera this size there is no excuse to leave it at home. The kit lens produces excellent results and is a good starting point at least. Battery ...
...plentiful recording medium. As a first step into DSLR photography this is your camera whilst for those more experienced photographers looking for something more discreet and portable this is it. There are no fancy whistle and bells it is just a good straightforward camera....what more do you need? ...

Review of Nikon D3000

Nikon D40 is the DSLR you'll ever need

Advantages: Excellent image quality, good core functionality of an DSLR, cheap, portable and lightweight.
Disadvantages: Megapixels may not be sufficient for some, no autobracketing and no autofocus with non-AFS lenses

Although introduced many years ago, Nikon D40 is still my favorite DSLR due to its compact size and affordable price tag. It is the best entry level DSLR in the market, at a price much cheaper than the more expensive compacts and semi-pro. Nikon D40 is a fast 6MP camera with a large 3-inch LCD, 2.5fps continuous shooting, 1/500s flash sync and a bright viewfinder. What it lacks are a status display and a built-in auto-focus motor. Megapixel count ...
...lens, not the body. A Nikon D40 can easily triumph D90 given a much better lens. In fact, lens investment is going to cost you many times the cost of the camera. Therefore it is advisable to purchase a cheap body but good lenses, instead of a good body with cheap lenses. Camera body goes obsolete relatively quickly, while lenses can last for decades if being kept properly. The last thing you need to know is that a camera is only a tool. The beauty ...

Review of Nikon D40

A great all-rounder

Advantages: Image quality, low light ability, speed, ease of use
Disadvantages: Cost, need to buy grip for 8fps

...5D Mk II or the Nikon D700 (although they are all still too expensive). The good news is that there is not a turkey among them; the image quality is fantastic with all three (I only quote from the ludicrous number of reviews I have sadly read). My choice was ultimately driven by the way in which I use my camera rather than the spec sheets, as the three cameras all point at a different type of photographer. This camera would better suit the intermediate ...
...On all those counts the Nikon is probably the best package. The Sony and Canon can resolve more detail for landscapes or architecture and can be blown up larger, they probably have the edge in studio / stock photography work. The Nikon produces skin tones beautifully and is the best performer in low light, although the Canon comes very close (again from my reading, I don't own one). It is worth mentioning the low light ability of this camera and ...

Review of Nikon D700

Light as the Air, Nikon D60

Advantages: Very small and light, wide range of Nikon lenses
Disadvantages: Slow Autofocus

Nikon D60 The Camera Itself Here it is, the slightly higher than entry level digital SLR from Nikon. On paper it seems very similar to many other similar priced cameras. So in this review, I dig a little deeper to see if there is enough difference to put you out of pocket. First thing you will notice is the size of the body. It is impressively small, very good for travel photography and in general circumstances. The bodies’ grip ...
...situations. Finally This camera and lens package is definitely an ideal recommendable kit. Most of the problems described can easily be lived with in most shooting situations. The large range of lenses from Nikon ensure there is definitely the right one to suit you. ...
