Pros: Swivel screen, lightness, resolution, good speed, automatic sensor cleaning, current price

Cons: No AF motor, few AF points

Opinion: It was my first SLR. He accompanied me on several occasions, without ever leaving me in difficulty. Almost ten years after the purchase, it still has a good image quality, up to 3200 iso. The adjustable display, although not indispensable, allows photos in otherwise rather difficult positions. The lack of the Af engine limits the choice of lenses (of course, you can use them, but it is not so immediate) for those who, like me, are still an amateur photographer and have some difficulties in manual MAF. It also allows video shooting up to FHD at 30FPS. After all, an entry-level SLR with a sensor still considered valid (the same as the d7000). Today it is a cheap alternative to start with, with a few more MP than the older SLRs (D40, D80, D90, etc.) but without some advanced features (eg second ring and second display). With standard zoom lenses (AF-S VR DX 18-55 and 18-105) it does its duty with medium quality. Obviously, the combination of sensor-bright lenses gives greater satisfaction.

Pros: Orientation screen, return of colors and workability of raw file (sensor quality), current cost

Cons: AF points, slightly entry level commands, menus

Opinion: I have tried this camera on a few occasions just because the car is not mine, but my girlfriend's. I was mainly impressed by the workability and elasticity of the RAW file it produces and the colors you can pull out, especially considering the price at which you can find this camera currently. I haven't had the opportunity to try it in low light or long exposures yet, so I can't comment on the high ISO seal. At the level of AF, I think it pays a bit compared to some rivals of the time. To date I think it is a very good second body "battle", or a kind of "best-buy" for those who want to approach the world of photography with a fairly small budget considering the current price of the used because from satisfactions (and that's all that must do an entry level). I liked it.

Pros: Orientable screen, small, many Mpix, resolution and speed pretty good in general.

Cons: It has nothing pro, but if bought today at a paltry price it can be worth much more than its cost.

Opinion: Reviewing an 8/9-year-old product today allows you to see things in a certain way. Let's face it nikon with the 3xxx series and 5xxx has sold millions of machines... But it was a different era, often those who bought these mall reflexes (consumer) came from a compact.... the leap in quality was evident. But on a second-to-back, these models offered little for how much they cost. However, it has many merits, the display is clear and orientable, very useful. It is very handy, light and small the right. With the AF-S VR DX optics like the 55-300 and the 70-300 or the 18-105 does its duty of average quality (those optics are not resolute). If you want to see all the splendor of the sensor mounted something like a 50mm manual focus (Af-d or AI series) and then the discourse will change a lot...

Pros: Tenuta iso, grip, swing and resolute display

Cons: lack af internal motor, viewfinder 95% (but on this class of machines is standard)

Opinion: It has been my first SLR, churns out excellent file, and I have to say that maintains a eccezionae quality even at high ISO ... now I have a ff kit, but covering old shots was impressed with the seal, also a past iso 3200. It has a good balance sensor / num. pixel, has the swiveling display which, although not indispensable, when there is very comodo.rnL'unico neo is, for me, the lack of motor af dentroma you know, on the entry level is a standard, such as the viewfinder to 95% .rnRimane a machine that, in its class, although now has several years behind him, he is really good .... the d7000 sensor, then a large sensore.rnPer those who want to get started, find used recently is a game child

Pros: Lightweight, rotatable display, resolution

Cons: Tenuta ISO, entry-level commands

Opinion: It 'was my first camera and gave me great satisfaction. rnAccoppiata with 35mm 1.8G allows to have an excellent car to a very low weight, plus the ability to rotate the display, sometimes very convenient. rnTenuta adequate iso for an APS-C-2011, of course you can not expect results from FF or most modern SLR, however, perfectly acceptable. rn
