Nikon has been a famous camera brand for two generations. Their DSLR range is a good example of Nikon’s competitive edge in their field- Their cameras contain many of the features of the top of the range DSLRs at significantly lower prices. With the Nikon range you also get quite a lot of proprietary Nikon technology, and it’s impressive stuff.

Nikon features- The professional DSLR angle

All Nikon’s DSLRs put a lot of emphasis on the truly SLR functions, particularly at the professional high end. The Nikon D700 and D90 DSLRs both have an ISO of 200-6400, for example, a phenomenal level of sensitivity when you consider that the industry baseline ISO is 3200.

With Nikon, you’re always spoiled for choice. Each Nikon DSLR has its own high value features:

• 8fps (D700) compared with 5fps in most competitors
• 3D focus tracking and live monitor
• Auto Focus multi point options notably the 39 point (D7000) AF which is combined with the D Movie HD video function
• Built in operations like auto compensating lighting, vibration resistance and colour balance
• Special features- There’s even a 100-25600 ISO range in the Hi 2 operation using 16.1 million pixel resolution on the Nikon D7000 DSLR. This is ultra-sensitive, and it also means that the range of options is so much bigger for photographers trying to deal with the most demanding lighting issues

Shopping for Nikon DSLRs

To do justice to the Nikons, you need to spend a bit of time comparing the different cameras. You’ll get a great camera whichever you choose, but each has its own special features as well as having common technologies. If you’re a professional photographer, you’ll be staggered by the range of options.
