Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
. You normally only get away with this on items up to £18, hence all the off-shore DVD web-sites. Also, bear in mind that Nikon UK gives you a two-year warranty.
SUMMARY
A high quality digital SLR camera and 18-105 mm zoom kit. New features include CMOS picture sensor instead of the more common CCD. Other interesting features include the ability to see the picture ?live? and to shoot movies. Automatic dust clearance keeps the sensor spotless.
