User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Best gift given this year
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. I don’t think he has taken any “bad” photos. Love the extras. Came with everything he needed.
5 Stars Great Camera so happy I chose this one
I have been checking around to find an SLR that I could upgrade to from the ordinary cameras they have out there. I have been using the Sony cybershot which I do love and it is great for basic photography but I wanted one that I could do more with and with this camera you can do so much. I would not have thought to pick up all of the items that come with this package and the carry case is much better than I would have expected it to be with this price. I have only used this a few times but the pictures are beautiful, crisp and clear. I would definately recommend this camera.
4 Stars Great camera for the price and easy to use
This is by far the easiest SLR digital camera I have ever used. The manual was easy to understand and I started shooting pictures without any problems. So far, I have only taken pictures indoor with natural day light and with the built-in flash in AUTO setting as well as manual settings. While the pictures taken with the built-in flash were acceptable, they came out a little dark when in AUTO mode. When in manual mode, making adjustments to the f-stops, and other features take some getting used to. While the quality is much better when you can find the correct combinations, but it was trail and error. I borrowed my son-in-law’s Nikon flash unit and the pictures were much better using the AUTO setting. One feature I like is how light the camera is even when fitted with the longer lense. All-in-all, this is a vey good starter SLR digital camera.
5 Stars Great entry level SLR
If you’re an amateur photographer looking for a camera to start shooting, this is your best choice.
Nikon has made this model the easiest to use. I don’t use the guide mode much but if you don’t know anything about SLRs you can learn a lot from this camera.
Pros:
.Rugged feeling
.Lots of shooting tips
.Retouch and review modes very useful
.Very nice photo quality overall
Cons:
.No auto-bracketing
.Custom white balance’s not too easy to set up.
.No live view
Overall this is a great product. It lacks some features that as a professional might make your job easier but except for the auto bracketing that I missed, you can live with the other stuff with no problem.
