Nikon D70 – The Best SLR Camera For 2009 Period
Executive Summary about Nikon SLR Camera by Chris Campbell
nikon d40 slr digital camera
After using a Nikon D70 camera for more than four years, I finally sold it. The next camera I bought was a D40, but it doesn’t compare with the previous one. In XTI’s case, the camera is pretty old by now (though still good and the price is accessible).
A good camera, the D80 is also a bit old, so it lacks some features, like sensor cleaning, or the lack of bundled VR lenses. The final choice was an XSI camera that I bought from Amazon. Card formatting and modifying the white balance is still done through the menu though.
The auto ISO feature is better in my old camera, the D70. It’s a great camera otherwise. It takes very good photos while doing little noise. The skin tones are good (I regularly take photos of my wife and daughter). I’m talking about features like a sensor that is self-cleaning, highlight tone priority and bundled VR lens.
But, since it doesn’t, the best SLR camera for me is the XSI right now.
The Best Nikon SLR Cameras Over $1,000
Let’s stick to talking about digital cameras here, and more specifically Nikon digital SLR cameras. I don’t really fit into either of these categories at the moment, but hey, things are changing.
A camera that just beats the $1,000 entry barrier, but comes with a generous 12.3 megapixels. Now I know you may have read my other discussions about how megapixels really don’t matter, but that works better for people and cameras that don’t have many. The D90 comes with other nice features like dust control, live view (all you purists out there just need to get over it), and some nice face detection abilities.
If your looking for speed from a camera, this baby’s got it. By speed, I’m talking about a fast shutter speed, and the ability to take rapid fire pictures one right after the other.
