Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera

Price $ 699.95 +

The D3100 takes excellent images on automatic with the kit lens. Composition is much easier with a proper viewfinder and the larger sensor makes obtaining shallow depth of field simple.

You would want to purchase Nikon D3100 for its size and weight, but this digital camera has its flaws. You will not be pleased with auto focus, or burst speed. I find making changes in the menus can be tedious. Some reviews also mentioned that there were several times when camera locks up, and the only way to fix it was to remove battery and replace it back.

Nikon D3100 feels great in my hands and nice to use. The ergonomics are perfect. I tested the D5100 and the D90 as well as all the Canon Rebels, and I would say that the D3100 felt the best.

Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera

Price $ 899.95 +

The D90 has the flexibility to meet  white balance, and exposure expectations. The menus are extremely well organized and easy to navigate. The top-of-the-camera display is easy to read. The information displayed inside the viewfinder is well organized and configurable. The histogram displays are complete and easy to display.

If you plan to take pictures in rough conditions, (wet, dirty,dusty, extreme cold or heat), you should seriously consider moving further up the Nikon product line as the D90 body is not as tight nor as durable as the top-of-the-line models.

For great results in low light or for indoor situations, one really needs an additional flash.  You will need to use the SB-800 to take exceptional images from great distances as well as wonderful subtle portraits. Try the same with the pop-up and you will be disappointed. Low light without a flash is very good but image editing is usually required.

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera

Price $ 2,699.95 +

I recommended Nikon D700 to students and other professionals who wanted a multi-featured camera they could grow with. If you can't afford D3, buy D700 instead.

Nikon D7000 Digital SLR Camera

Price $ 1,199.95 +

Because of sturdy, weather sealed built, combined with ease of handling and speed of use, make this camera great for photojournalism and sports coverage. Its rapid focus and low noise at high ISO allow fast shutter speeds under low light situations. Long lenses can easily be hand held for good action shots. The secret to taking great photos with this camera is in learning how to control all the incredible adjustments available to you that this digital camera has. It really does replace the D300s in all ways except tank build and speed of FPS that the D300s gives you.

The downside is the tendency to overexpose, since Nikon D7000 has been set up to protect blowing out the highlights to allow user to get as much control during processing, it tends to overexpose the images. But with the right settings, this camera delivers good pictures. I would say that Nikon D7000 Digital SLR Camera is cost effective considering its high performance. I would give this a four star.
