Pros: Lightweight and compact DSLR, CCD sensor, price, ergonomic, robust

Cons: It suffers above ISO 800, so I recommend bright lenses. Menu a bit disorganized

Opinion: Despite the age of the camera, I must say that it conveys the desire to do photography like no other. Combined with a fixed camera, such as the AF-S DX 35mm, it churns out moldable raw images and jpegs of good quality despite the 10 mp. In my opinion, moreover, being a simple camera, it does not have all the automatisms of modern cameras and allows you to get more into the photographer's part. It is a camera for amateur use, but it never disappoints. I would recommend it to those who are beginners, because it is a cheap camera (paid 50 euros as new on RCE), which allows you to cut your teeth, or to more experienced photographers who have broken the automatisms of modern cameras and would like to return to something more stimulating. The 3 focus points, the fact that there is no live view and the fact that there is no possibility of making videos are points in favor, if you reason with the philosophy of wanting a simple and reliable camera. Really sturdy despite the plastic: taken on trips to Greece, Finland and Croatia it has never disappointed me for two main reasons: 1-with a 16Gb SD card, you can take more than a thousand photos in RAW(NEF) which are light and editable in post. 2-the battery lasts a very long time and is easily available: I got to take 750 photos before arriving at almost empty battery. The only two cons are: 1-being a ccd sensor, it suffers at high iso, so to solve the problem I recommend bright lenses if you want to photograph in the evening / night or in situations of fast shutter speeds. 2-The camera menu is a bit confusing at first, but after reading the manual or with some tutorials on youtube you can decipher it.

Pros: Excellent files, lightness.

Cons: Only three focus points, however very versatile to manually select where to focus via selector.

Opinion: I have had it in the past and I was very satisfied with it. It had the same CCD sensor as the D80 and produced excellent files. It was easily transportable considering its small size. It could also mount non-af-s lenses (hand-focusing type af d g). Care must be taken when changing lenses by not having an automatic sensor cleaning system. Ultimately a good product considering its segment.

Pros: Good build and image quality, no video and live view.

Cons: No light meter with cpu-free optics, no internal motor for autofocus.

Opinion: My first serious digital, before I had used compact basic, taken in 2008, at first I did not think it would last more than a few months in my hands, I am rather impetuous, instead I still have it, with almost 90k shots on my shoulders. With the 18-55 I photographed everything from the snowy landscapes of Scandinavia to the Tunisian desert, never had problems. I still use it, with great satisfaction.

Pros: Construction; file quality

Cons: Hold high iso, three maf points, absence live view and video

Opinion: My first DSLR. Little plastic, a lot but a lot of substance combined with an excellent build quality. A reflex that, although produced as an entry level, produced excellent files especially for all photos taken with low iso. Not very excellent on the high iso side. The three points of focus might seem like a limit, but you have to consider that we are talking about a reflex produced since 2007. I separated myself to switch to a semi pro, also for its absence of live view very useful to compose certain shots. Absence of the video industry, but it does not matter given the satisfactions he gave on the purely photographic side.
