Nikon Camera Review: Choosing The Best Digital Camera For The Beginner Here at BestNikonCameraReview.com we’re passionate about providing you the basics you should know when choosing the right Nikon Digital Camera for taking the perfect picture. We’re also dedicated to bringing you reviews and testimonials for the most popular nikon cameras on the market to help you make up your mind when looking for your first, or next, digital camera. With the explosion in digital photography over recent years, many people are confused about which digital camera to purchase. There are many digital cameras on the market ranging from 8 megapixels to a staggering 16 or 24 megapixels in one of the latest Nikon camera [D3200 series]. So how do you cut through the jargon and the multitude of models available to find the camera that is right for you? View the bestselling Nikon Cameras online here ~ Order online for low prices and fast shipping… Firstly you have to decide how the camera will be used. If you are a complete beginner and you just want a fully automatic nikon digital camera for taking pictures of the family and social events, many of the 16 megapixel nikon cameras around the $200 to $300 price bracket will fulfill your needs. These cameras normally come with a 10 times zoom lens which will allow you to take group shots at the wide setting and individual shots at the telephoto setting. In addition many of these digital cameras will have scene modes for various situations such as taking pictures on the beach, at sunset, close ups, portraits and much more. Nearly every Nikon digital camera these days comes with a built in flash which can normally be turned off for more moody shots in available light. All the big manufacturers make these cameras and I would recommend purchasing a camera from one of the big names such as Canon, Sony, and Nikon. If you’re a beginner, you’re most likely asking yourself: Nikon or Canon? Honestly, I feel confident in saying that you can’t go wrong with either. I’ve used both brand’s cameras extensively and find that they both offer amazing image quality with well-built, solid cameras that, when taken care of, can last for decades. There are two differences between these cameras that must be taken into consideration.

1/5

The user-interface: If cameras were computers, Nikons would be PCs and Canons would be MACs. PCs are built for people not afraid of technology whereas Macs are built for people who want things super-easy and is expensive. Nikon cameras excel at customization options: which means you’ll see so many more options with the Advanced features of a Nikon than you will with a Canon. Canon, on the other hand, excel at ease-of-use for beginners. Canon offer less advanced options and can be easier to learn on. This can be frustrating down the line, though, once you’ve learned a lot about photography. At that point you may want all of the options that Nikon offers and be frustrated with your Canon. If you’re someone who really likes going deep into your hobbies or if you’re thinking on becoming a professional photographer, I’d say a Nikon would be your best bet. If you’re someone who wants to learn the basics of photography and only imagine yourself being a hobbyist, Canon would be a better option for you. Personally I prefer Nikon Cameras. The fact that there is no one size fits all perfect camera, the perfect Nikon camera for you, largely depends upon the type of usage you have in mind. With that considered, this nikon camera review provides the criteria for the perfect Nikon Camera for you to buy!: 1. Price… (whenever a camera is less expensive, it means you’ll have more in your budget for the lens.) 2. Special Features eg. Zoom and Focus (auto-focus vs manual) zoom depends on if you’re a nature photoghapher vs an indoor photographer). For long range clear pictures you need a high optical zoom (min. 10x) vs a high digital zoom. 3. Mobility and Ease of use – user experience of how good you are, etc.- manufacture’s details.

This will allow the user to experiment with various manual settings as a way of learning digital photography as well as being able to produce more creative shots than in program mode. Various manual exposure settings are available on some nikon digital cameras including shutter priority, aperture priority and full manual whereby the user sets both the aperture and shutter speed. For high quality cameras at a low price, the Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera offer full manual controls as well as a 3x 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Image Stabilization lens. In terms of pixels, 14.2 to 16 megaixels with DX-format CMOS image sensor; 3-inch monitor with One-Touch Live View shooting and movie capture, will be more than enough to produce good quality A4 prints right up to A3 and beyond.

For beginners requiring a digital camera for travel, nature photography and general all round use, a nikon digital camera with a large zoom lens and image stabilization will offer the most versatility. The wide range of Nikon camera brand makes excellent cameras with large zoom lenses that often cover the 35mm equivalent range of 35mm to 400mm. Some nikon digital cameras come with full manual controls and a hotshoe for external flash which adds to the versatility of the camera. To conclude, there is huge range of nikon cameras on the market today covering the needs of beginners right up to professionals. The vast majority of nikon digital cameras offer very similar features such as a 10 times zoom lens, 14.2 to 16 megapixels, built in flash, a 3? LCD, various scene modes and a small compact body. If you’re set on Nikon, there are three cameras you should be considering and it all comes down to what your budget is: D7000 $1,200 without lens D5100 $697 without lens Nikon COOLPIX P510 $400 with lens D3100 $649 only available with lens (current prices as of 3/16/13) Here’s what you get for spending extra money (each camera compared to the one below it): D3100 vs. D5100: The D3100 is an EXCELLENT camera so if you only have $450 to spend total [special price today] on camera and lens then go out and buy this camera. You won’t regret it. If you’re considering spending more money, here’s what you’ll get from the D5100 in comparison: -Better performance in low light situations. -A higher resolution screen on the back of the camera so you can see your images more clearly and make out if they actually turned out well. -An external mic jack. (If you’re planning on shooting video with an external mic, you’ll want the D5100 over the D3100.) -A flip out screen (handy if you want to put your camera anywhere but at your eye level and be able to see what your camera is about to capture before you shoot it) -Faster continuous shooting. If you’re often shooting sports or any fast moving subject, continuous shooting allows you to capture multiple images in a single second. The D3100 shoots at three frames per second whereas the D5100 shoots at four frames per second. -Higher ISO options. The D5100 offers one more stop of ISO than the D3100 does. If you don’t know what ISO means (or what a stop is) just know that this allows you to more easily shoot images in low-light situations. -Longer battery life. The D5100?s battery will last 20% longer than the D3100 The two advantages of the D3100 over the D5100 are: less expensive and less weight. Whenever a camera is less expensive, it means you’ll have more in your budget for the lens.

3/5

The D3100 weighs 10% lighter and is 10% smaller than the D5100. D5100 vs. D7000: The D5100 is Nikon’s latest and greatest and is even newer than the D7000. Phenomenal camera! If you’re stuck, though, between the D5100 and the D7000, here’s what you’ll get by spending more money on the D7000: -More focus points. When using auto-focus, the D7000 will have an easier time focusing on what you want it to focus on. -60% longer lasting batteries. -Faster continuous shooting. If you’re often shooting sports or any fast moving subject, continuous shooting allows you to capture multiple images in a single second. The D5100 shoots at four frames per second whereas the D7000 shoots at six frames per second. -Weather sealed. This means you can shoot with the D7000 in the rain. -Two memory card slots. This is really a cool feature. The D7000 has two memory card slots which means you’ll be less likely to find yourself standing in front of a gorgeous scene with no more memory left. -Faster shutter speed. The fastest shutter speed on the D5100 is 1/4000th of a second; on the D7000: 1/8000th of a second. To be honest, I can’t think of any practical reason why this would benefit you unless you’re planning on shooting some really bright scenes like directly into the sun. Advantages of the D5100 over the D7000: -A flip out screen (handy if you want to put your camera anywhere but at your eye level and be able to see what your camera is about to capture before you shoot it) -Smaller and lighter: The D5100 is 10% smaller and 30% lighter than the D7000. This is something to consider if you plan on carrying your camera around with you a lot. -Less expensive so you can spend more on your lens! Nikon COOLPIX P510 features: -16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor -42x Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens -3-inch Ultra-high-resolution (921,000 Dot) LCD -Full HD (1080p) Movies with Stereo Sound -GPS record location information of your pictures and movies -16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor -42x Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens -3-inch Ultra-high-resolution (921,000 Dot) LCD,Self Timer: 10 Sec, 2 Sec -Full HD (1080p) Movies with Stereo Sound -GPS record location information of your pictures and movies In the final analysis, do not waste too much time looking for a nikon digital camera. Once you have found a nikon camera which meets your requirements, move on and start enjoying digital

photography as it is the photographer who creates great photographs and not the camera. Although there have been great technological strides made with the development of digital cameras it still takes a keen eye and some skill to capture that perfect picture. As should be obvious – the Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera is our best pick. However, for those of us who can’t quite afford this awesome camera, the Nikon COOLPIX P510 is also great – there is still hope.
