Reviews for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

"At 126 x 97 x 64mm and weighing 485g, the D3000 retains the design and overall build of the D60...Among the shooting options available is an intelligent Guide Mode...The D3000 also offers an improved focusing system akin to the higher-end models with 11 AF points, instead of the 3 AF points of the D60..." read more »

"The Nikon D300s isn't a radical, complete overhaul of its popular predecessor...Already a very reliable camera and now available at some bargain prices, owners of the Nikon D300 will undoubtedly question whether this latest model is worth an upgrade..." read more »

"Excellent image quality Strong low-light performance Long battery life Crisp HD video recording...HD movie recording lacks auto focus Mediocre still photo focus in Live View mode...That’s why we highly recommend the $849 Nikon D5000, a reasonably priced DSLR that has the same sensor and 720p video recording as the $999 D90...In short, the D5000 very much deserves our Editors’ Choice Award...In the grand scheme of things, the D5000’s 21.6-ounce..." read more »

"Excellent low-light performance; great image quality; full feature set; video....No external mic jack; rolling shutter problem when shooting video....For the most part, the D90 does not look significantly different from the D80, though it is a tiny bit heavier...As with its predecessors, the D90 represents the middle ground of Nikon’s consumer SLR line...The D90 has a 3-inch, 920,000-pixel LCD...This LCD is exceptional, and while it’s still not good enough..." read more »

"Excellent photo quality with a quality lens Out of this world high ISO performance Full frame...Tendency to slightly overexpose Corner blurriness a big problem with kit...Nikon includes a pair of software programs along with the D700...As its name implies, Camera Control Pro lets you control the D700 from your Mac or PC over the USB connection...Covering almost 450 pages,..." read more »

"First, the D40 has a plastic body and comes with a plastic lens...There's nothing to stop you using other Nikon lenses with the D40, but you’ll be restricted to manual focus mode - and even then, not all Nikon lenses are compatible with the camera...The D40 uses a 15.6 x 23.7mm CCD..." read more »

"Class-leading high ISO performance and incredibly versatile ISO 100-12,800 sensitivity range Very good resolution and detail without looking over-processed Bett...No timed mirror lock-up function (could be automatic with self-timer) Focus points somewhat...Preview based on a production Nikon D3 , Firmare V1.0 (and V1.10...The professional Nikon D 'single digit' series of digital SLR's started life back in June 1999 with the groundbreaking..." read more »

"I was in Sidmouth shooting my usual detail test shots of the seafront with a couple of new DSLRs...Then I put it back in my bag and pulled out the Nikon D3x...Of course that's not the reason why someone would buy a Nikon D3x...That's the job that the D3x was designed to do, and doing anything less with it would be a waste..." read more »

"Very good photo quality, though see issues below Solid construction; feels better in the hand than the competition ...Images are overly saturated and a bit soft at default settings, in this reviewer's opinion ...Playback folder (Current, all) - that first option shows only the images created by the D40x...The jury's still out on the D40x's other big competitor, the E-410, which I have not reviewed yet...Build quality..." read more »

"Outstanding photo quality, many high-end features, outstanding response times, unit is versatile with add-on components...Extremely high price, numerous manual controls may confuse some photographers, long feature list probably...If you want a digital SLR, such as Nikon's D200 model, be sure you have enough photography experience that you can make the most of all of the high-end features...Nikon offers the D200 in several different configurations with a few..." read more »
