The following links summarise details and reviews of Nikon cameras and software processing on this site. We are adding to the reviews continually, so come back on a regular basis to see the latest reviews. These cameras are listed from the cheapest price to the most expensive in each category.

In the following I will attempt to outline some criteria to help you select a Nikon camera.

• DX versus FX – DX cameras are cheaper and the DX lenses are generally cheaper. For print sizes up to a maximum dimension of 15 inches there is not very much difference in DX and FX.
• DX cameras give an effective multiplication factor of 1.5 times to the lens focal length, which is an advantage with long lenses, but this can also be a disadvantage with wide angle lenses. However there are special wide angle lenses for DX cameras.
• FX cameras generally give better performance in low light situations.
• Some cameras now have a movie function.
• If you want to do huge prints up to 3 feet or more you may need a D3X, which is the highest resolution Nikon camera.
• Some of the more expensive cameras have additional functionality, such as depth of field preview, mirror lock up, different bracketing functions for white balance and exposure, magnesiun alloy bodies, weather sealing etc.
• In general, I would rate all the FX cameras and the D300s camera as professional tools in an expert photographers hands.
