Nikon D40

Pros: Compact, lightweight and under $1,000.

Cons: Use of SD instead of CF cards.

The Bottom Line: An excellent entry-to-mid level dSLR. You could do FAR worse and get less. For Nikon film camera users, this is an excellent step-up dSLR!

Review: To anyone interested in photography, especially DIGITAL imaging, it is quite obvious that the Megapixel War continues and that the two baddest guys on the block, Nikon and Canon continue to do battle. That battle, for the hearts and minds of ...

Pros: allows you to come up with exactly the shot you want easily

Cons: no mirror lock up, bundled software is worthless

The Bottom Line: The Nikon D80 is a perfect choice for someone looking for a DSLR camera with lots of features and excellent photo quality.

Review: We decided it was time to get a digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera, and after considerable research my husband decided on the Nikon D80. The camera set he purchased at Best Buy included an 18-135mm lens. We've owned the camera for almost 6 ...

Pros: Color Display Screen is a cool feature.

Cons: Sometimes it doesn't respond.

The Bottom Line: Print, copy and fax in style. The HP PhotoSmart All-In-One Printer is not just a printer, it's an office necessity.

Review: In the summer of 1998, I worked as a camp counselor at St. Matthews in Brooklyn, with kids ages 4 through 7 years of age. It was great experience and one that built my desire to work with children in my future. During one of my lunch breaks, I ...

Pros: Great ergonomics, great image quality!

Cons: No mirror lockup.

The Bottom Line: It may not have a full frame sensor, built-in "anti-shake" or "anti-dust" systems, but this camera has superb ergonomics and offers D200 image quality in a D50 sized package.

Review: I have been a Nikon camera user for a very long time, starting with a Nikon FE (a manual 35 mm body) my father gave me in 1984. The Nikon FE, combined with a Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 lens, served me well until the middle of 2004, when I acquired a Nikon D70 ...

Pros: Quality, size, photos, price, etc, etc

Cons: You'll love it so much, that your next purchase will be a new Hard Drive.

The Bottom Line: If you are asking yourself if there is something better than the last point and shoot you bought, buy this camera and more photo albums!

Review: Sorry nikonians or nikonistas or whatever your name is, but if you are a professional photographer this review is not for you, and neither probably the camera I always used point a shoot cameras, for my family’s trips, parties and some other stuff. I ...

Pros: Great performance/reasonable price.  Great size/feel.  Beautiful pics.

Cons: Uses a Nikon battery/automatic flash was troublesome

The Bottom Line: Great camera, easy to use, all the functionality you want and more, good price.  Straddles the consumer/professional line perfectly.

Review: I purchased the D80 after careful research.  I wanted to take the plunge into the digital SLR arena after years of consideration and waiting for the prices to come down.  I had used a Canon AE-1 SLR for the longest time and though I loved the ...

Pros: Enough features for the beginning photographer, but not so many that it gets confusing

Cons: Will only autofocus with pricey AF-S lenses. Is 6.1 MP, max. print size of 11"x14"

The Bottom Line: For someone who is on a budget, but wants to get into photography this is a great first camera.

Review: As someone who has mostly worked with digital point and shoot cameras and some film SLRs, I wanted to upgrade to a DSLR. I chose this camera mostly because I am a student on a budget, and it seemed to be the best deal for the money.  I have been ...

Pros: Easy to use. Menu is clear and precise.

Cons: Limited to use of view finder when taking pics. Became accustomed to Viewscreen.

The Bottom Line: If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Review: I was wanting to upgrade from my Compact to an SLR, but was so intimidated by what was out there. After reviewing the quality of this particular SLR, and going into a store to look it over, I became more excited to use it. I think it is a good step up. ...

Pros: Nice looking printer. Small footprint on desk.

Cons: A bit noisy.

The Bottom Line: Need a good cheap printer/scanner/copier for your home office? This is the one to get.

Review: I don’t know about you, but for me shopping for a new printer can be a stressful, confusing experience. I found myself standing among several rows of counters filled with printers of nearly every size and conceivable function. Hewlett-Packard printers ...

Pros: A HUGE upgrade vs. the D70. Great price/performance ratio

Cons: lack of electronic shutter for faster flash synch

The Bottom Line: Easy to use for the beginner and feature rich enough for the pro or advanced amature. The D80 ROCKS!!!

Review: I have to say that the release of the D80 didn't really make a huge splash on the camera scene. I think that's pretty sad because the D80 is not only a worthy successor to the D70 but I strongly feel that it's the first DSLR good enough to be your LAST ...
