Nikon D90 - My Next 'Last' Camera

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

...There?s been a legion of digital cameras that have passed through my hands since they started to become a serious contender for 35mm?s domination of the amateur market. Going from memory, they?ve included Philips, Casio, Canon, Nikon and errr?..Nikon. Of course the last one, my first DSLR, a Nikon D70 was going to be the last; but then we all say that don?t we, lads? What I really meant was ?the last for quite a while?. LOOKS LIKE THE ?QUITE A WHILE? HAS EXPIRED Then my daughter started making noises about a night-school class in photography, where the minimum kit requirement just so happened to be a DSLR, and I got to thinking about letting her have the D70 for a ?song?, whilst good ol? Dad treats himself to the later and much higher-specified D90. Since I bought the D70 four or five years back, things have moved on apace...

Review of Nikon D90

A super cool review of the Nikon Coolpix

Advantages: Looks good, durable and a good range of user interactive settings.
Disadvantages: Not the most vivid of colour capture and a few other problems (see review).

...As a professional photographer who is used to using top of the range DSLR cameras, I often worry that I will be a little harsh on simple point and shoot cameras when asked to give my opinion on them. Last week when I was asked to test the Nikon Coolpix S560 and give my opinion on it for my camera club, I was determined to do so with an open mind because as well as thinking I can be harsh on point and shoots, I am also not Nikon`s biggest fan. The Nikon Coolpix S560 is the latest in a range of Nikon point and shoot digital cameras and a direct step up from the Coolpix S550. In my opinion this was released a bit quickly after the S550 and it makes me wonder if Nikon were ever truly happy with the 550 that they felt the need to release its successor within just a few months of it being released itself. In the camera market however...

Cool Camera - Nikon Coolpix 7900

Advantages: Stylish, Superb Quality, Extensive features Great Value for Money
Disadvantages: My dad dropped mine! (but it's ok!)

...I have had my Nikon Coolpix 7900 for about a year and a half now and have been very very pleased with it. It is a small, compact digital camera that offers stunning quality pictures with lots of different features. Priced at around £250 it is superb value for money and I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone! **Looks, Design and Size** As with many modern technological inventions, they have suddenly become fashion items and the same is true about Digital Cameras. Therefore, it is crucial that yours is 'cool' and this camera is approximately -7 degrees. It is small and extremely stylish with subtle curves that make it easy on the eye. It is definitely a supermodel among digital cameras. It is light and fits comfortably in your hand so can easily be carried around if you are going to be using it a lot. The dimensions are...

Review of Nikon Coolpix 7900

take coolpix with this nikon camera.

Advantages: small, light, robust and very easy to use.
Disadvantages: _

...I love taking photos but I am the first to admit that I am not very good at it. Most of the pics I take are just holiday snaps or pics of the family but I tend to have my fair share of blurry photos and heads cut off, although not so much now. I recently bought the Nikon Coolpix S200 as my old camera had become very aged. This camera is so easy to use it has helped me take a better class of photo straight away. It has a fairly full range of features which will no doubt take me a long time to learn to use but if you already know your way round a camera will be very useful to you. The camera is a 7.1 mega pixel which I wont try to explain but will tell you that even when zoomed in on your pc or printed in a much larger size will still provide very clear images. It also has electronic Vibration Reduction which helps you to get photos...

Nikon Coolpix L10

Advantages: Easy to use, most pictures come out good, value for money, look, durability, size and weight.
Disadvantages: Some pictures come out blurred.

...My first digital camera is this, the Nikon Coolpix L10. PICTURE QUALITY Some pictures come out good, and some come out blurry. I find 72% of my pictures come out non-blurry. RANGE & QUALITY OF FEATURES You can change the colour, the white balance, if there should be a continous shot, you can also change the flash. I find the amount of features great. EASE OF USE I find this camera very easy to set up, very easy to take a photo with and it's easy all round. DURABILITY The camera doesn't get scratched easily, it can get a tiny bit smugy but that's it. No major damage for mine! OVERALL LOOK & DESIGN The camera looks so standard but it shows off its shiny silverness when you put it next to other cameras. VALUE FOR MONEY You can buy this from Amazon for £104.75. I think this is great value for money! RELIABILITY I can mainly...

NIKON Coolpix S510

Advantages: Small and has a great flash range
Disadvantages: Noise when I changed the ISO

...I was given the Nikon Coolpix S510 in pink from my boyfriend. He paid £ 163.19 from pixmania. As soon as I saw the camera I fell in love with it, I have a few cameras at home, and this one is probley my favourite because the other cameras are a bit of a struggle to take anywhere as there quiet chunky and heavy, with this camera there isn't a problem as its small. I love the fact that the camera has a rotating navigation pad and a vertical lens cover. I think the camera is really good but I wouldn't give it an excellent rating as it could be improved, I was messing around with the and I changed it to ISO2000 and the picture was horrific however setting ISO to The ISO64 made the photos look great and you could see masses of detail which I was pretty impressed with. Here's the cameras Specifications Sensor: CCD - 8.1Mp...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S510

Nikon Coolpix S1

Advantages: Small, compact and very easy to use!
Disadvantages: Old, not as good as more recent cameras.

...Nikon Coolpix S1. I bought this camera from Curries via their website for £169 back in 2006, so it is relatively old now, and in terms of the advance in cameras, is almost an antique! You can now pick one up for a lot cheaper, around £65, but I think they're being slowly phased out, so if you want one, get it quick. When I first bought it, 5.1 Megapixels was considered relatively high, whereas now, anything towards 9.1 or 10.1 megapixels is becoming the new bench level. However, unless you are a really keen photographer, you won't really notice too much difference. What attracted me to this camera was it's looks. It is a lovely little camera, and in black it looks stylish and sleek, whilst also being very compact; there's no extruding lens or other parts sticking out, so the camera is very flat which is extremely helpful as it can...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S1

Nikon Coolpix 80

Advantages: Top of the range for quality and usage
Disadvantages: Cost if anything

...My partner and I own the previous Nikon and are currently looking at upgrading to the Nikon Coolpix 80. The price is very reasonable we think as the quality of Nikons are second to none. We even managed a discount when we first purchased ours from Jessops in Derby due to my partner being a student photographer. We have had only a few problems with our existing Nikon which is why we are likely to purchase the new Coolpix 80. The customer service at Nikon have been extremely helpful with advice on technical issues and user problems, they have even sent us a news lens cap when we lost ours during a weekend away. Although we use ours predominately for the family, my partner is now a professional photographer and he will use nothing but Nikon. The cameras are exceptionally easy to use and very friendly to none users like myself and our...

Review of Nikon Coolpix P80

Nikon Coolpix 3100

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent picture quality, clear bright LCD, preset photo modes, picture enhancing options.
Disadvantages: Small memory card, short battery life, no case supplied.

...Nikon Coolpix 3100 I would class myself as an enthusiastic amateur photographer and having researched the digital camera market for three months I eventually decided on the Nikon Coolpix 3100. I was not disappointed. This light weight 3.2 million pixel camera is easy to use and has excellent results. General The camera has a maximum picture resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and this produces clear and detailed pictures which are photo quality up to about A4 printed size. Memory Card It uses CompactFlash memory cards and is supplied with a 16MB card which is adequate to begin with but I would recommend getting a much bigger card once you have got the hang of the camera as you can only fit 10 images in maximum quality on the card. They are around £30 for a 128MB one if you shop online. Connection It uses a USB...

The Nikon Coolpix L14 Realy Is Cool
