If you are looking to get into the D-SLR world but find it too expensive, then you may not know the value that awaits you. We are taking a look at the Nikon D50 6.1 megapixel camera, and given the price range, it packs a serious punch.

The camera is a small form factor for a specific reason, so I am not going to hold that against it. The picture quality is not as good as previous cameras we've reviewed, but that comes with the territory of being a smaller camera. $300 at that point seems like a high asking price for what the camera does. However, Nikon includes extras that other cameras don't seem to, such as a charger & battery, in addition to the dock. Those add-ons alone can run you up $50 with another camera purchase. So as it is, you get what you pay for. If you expect higher quality, I recommend checking out another model.

Sporting a new and improved 10.2-megapixel image sensor, the Nikon D80 immediately poses a concern and a challenge for Sony's infant A100 DSLR. The competition from Nikon's latest DSLR is all the more urgent considering some of its specifications such as the image processing engine, AF system, ISO sensitivity, noise reduction levels, metering system, viewfinder, and LCD monitor are all plucked from the company's higher-tiered professional models. However, with barely a year gone since the D50 and D70s were unveiled, the arrival of the D80 seems to have come a little earlier than expected. Nevertheless, new is always a good thing, especially for budding photographers contemplating in taking their passion to a more serious level. On paper, the D80 is quite frankly as good as it gets for a mainstream DSLR, but will it be the ultimate camera for beginners and amateurs?

The P series is in the thick of the 2006 digicam race, offering 8-megapixel resolution, a 3.5x optical zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD, optical image stabilization and a number of Nikon tricks for much less than 400 first presidents. Is it point-and-shoot paradise? Let?s charge it up and see?

I've reviewed a lot of digital SLRs and other expensive high-performance
cameras recently, so I thought it was about time I took a look at the other
end of the market, the budget-priced low-spec compacts. Never one to do
things by halves, this week I've got the cheapest camera I've ever reviewed,
and rather surprisingly it's a Nikon.

Launched in February this year, the Coolpix S5 is one of two new cameras in Nikon's S range of ultra-slim pocket compacts. The S series itself is relatively recent, starting with the 5.0 megapixel S1 launched around this time last year. All the cameras in the series share the same basic layout, with a 3x optical zoom non-protruding lens mounted in the top right corner of the front panel, and only a bare minimum of external controls. The S5 has a 6.0 megapixelssensor, a high resolution 2.5in LCD monitor, and a strong metal body. It measures 93 x 59 x 20mm and weighs 165g including battery and card - it may be neither the slimmest nor the lightest camera on the market, but it is small and light enough to slip into a shirt pocket or purse without leaving much of a bulge...

The Coolpix L1 has a lot to offer, and there's no doubt it's a decent camera for the first time camera user or someone who just wants the ability to take really quick photos without worrying about them looking horrible. Fact is though, this camera is probably not the best choice as it stands. There are a few problems that just may sway you away from a purchase...

The CoolPix 8800 is an awesome camera for any enthusiast with deep enough pockets. Thanks to the big sensor and superb Nikkor ED lens its image quality is among the best available, while the exceptionally versatile exposure and AF systems provide plenty of creative controls and ensure accurate results under a wide range of circumstances. It's not without its problems, such as high-ISO noise and sluggish focusing, but it is one of the few a real alternatives to a digital SLR...

I see an awful lot of digital cameras, most of them the very latest models, but it's not often that I see something really new and different. However Nikon's new CoolPix P1 is just that. It's the first digital compact camera to come with wireless LAN, (Wi-Fi) connectivity straight out of the box. It is designed to connect to any computer, printer or other device equipped with a wireless network adapter, enabling you to download or print your pictures without having to either remove the memory card or plug in any cables...

The D50 is quite heavy for a basic SLR, weighing 620g compared to 565g for the Pentax *ist DL and 540g for the Canon EOS 350D. However the D50 is also quite a bit larger than either of these rival cameras, so ironically it feels lighter, or at least less dense. That's not to say that the D50 feels cheap, because as soon as you pick it up and handle it, the familiar Nikon aura of solid handling, excellent design and superb build quality becomes apparent...
