Pros: Light, 24Mp sensor, wifi, orientable screen, 39 af points, high ISO (but not very high) noise

Cons: Lack of a second ring

Opinion: Beautiful machine, it gave me so many small satisfactions. The price at which I took it new (almost 900 euros with the kit) is more than justified. Light and very versatile, it's good for both a hike in the mountains, for photo hunting, and indoors. It lacks a few extra key that would help you but you still live with it. The second ring, however, for me is a lack that you feel a little, but from display it resolves. To be an entry-level aps-C resists iso, I took pictures of 6400 ISO that surprised me. Used to 12Mp machines, with this you no longer have a crop limitation. Finally, the 39 autofocus points are perfect for most situations where I happen to shoot. Overall it is a great machine, perfect in any situation.

Pros: Lightness, ergonomics, sensor, HDR from menu, quick menu

Cons: pentamirror, second-dial lack, and all that involves a small machine, but you know

Opinion: Great travel and hiking car. Compared to other small ones, it seems to me that the viewfinder has an extra hair of magnification and transparency. The lightness and minimal footprint are surprising, and make it more acceptable to pair with heavy lenses. Great sensor and processor, which provide detailed jpeg and with a balanced dynamic range.

Pros: Light, swivel Monitor, touch Screen, Excellent 24Mp sensor

Cons: My specimen has the autofocus inaccurate (suffers a bit ' of back focus)

Opinion: It is my first (and for the moment only) digital SLR. I've been using it for over 2 years and I have to say that overall I'm fine. I have purchased other lenses beyond the valid 18-55 VR II kit. My specimen suffers a bit of a back-focus with some lenses I have, so I think it's more the fault of the camera than the lenses. If the use in Live view is perfect. Combined with a good optics you get very definite and sharp images. For me it was a great gym and it is still giving me a lot of satisfaction.

Pros: Lightness, rapid AF, excellent image quality, adjustable LCD.

Cons: Fragility and cost.

Opinion: I was Looking for a light body and small size to always keep with me in hiking in the mountains and biking but I had always slowed by taking the cost for me not justified on average on 900 euro with the optics of the kit I did well to wait Because at the end of 2016 Media World did a promotion and I took it to 600 with optical kit 18-55 PF. I have To say I was stupid by the quality of the produced files and by the autofocus fairly quick and accurate, Good the ISO tightness and the swivelling display to make touch-screen macros. Of cons is slow and cumbersome in operation compared to other Nikon, body a bit ' fragile.

Pros: Very light, very low cost, excellent image Quality.

Cons: Commands not intuitive, suffering at high iso.

Opinion: I purchased this body only for astronomical use, replacing the hot mirror stock with a super Uv-ir Cut. The yield now on the halpha is comparable to all the astronomical chambers on the market with the limitations of the temperatures in the long exposures having not been modified with Peltier Cell. Used mainly by software, it is fast in capturing and precise in the Shots.
