Top-10

Nikon is a company that produces some of the highest quality cameras in the world. The manufacturer pays great attention to the quality of images and reverently approaches any detail, which has managed to win the love of professionals and photo enthusiasts. For a number of characteristics, Nikon outperforms its closest competitors — Canon (Canon) and Sony (Sony).

Experts recommend paying attention to the following parameters when choosing a model:

• Matrix type. Mirror devices are traditionally considered more advanced than digital (compact).
• The number of megapixels. Accordingly, the higher this criterion, the higher the quality of the images.
• Equipment. In particular, it is necessary to clarify whether an interchangeable lens is provided, and whether it is included in the kit.
• Weight and dimensions. Shooting can take several hours, and therefore the lightness and compactness of the camera will play a truly good service.
• Functionality. Before buying, you need to carefully study the list of modes and options provided by the device — Time Lapse, Zoom, GPS, etc.

In the reviews, users admit that this is their first DSLR, and they are completely satisfied with it. Photos are excellent even when shooting in automatic mode, and manual settings and the ability to change the lens greatly expand the potential of the camera. The kit lens is not bad, and there is no reason to change it immediately to something else. The functionality of the carcass is wide, so this Nikon is the best model for amateurs with the expectation of a further upgrade of equipment. If you buy this camera as a beginner, you will not have to change it to something more expensive for a long time — you just need to buy the necessary lenses.

Nikon D5600 Kit

Not the cheapest camera that is suitable for beginners and amateurs. The main advantages of the model are the function of transferring photos directly to a smartphone, the presence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a swivel touch screen. The latter is especially convenient — now, in order to take a photo from an unusual angle, it is not necessary to lie down on the ground, throw back your head, or squat down.

Another important advantage of the model is a high-quality CMOS matrix, which is used in more expensive semi-professional models from Nikon. The control is simple and convenient: it is easy to switch between the optical viewfinder and the view on the screen, set manual shooting settings. There are also disadvantages in this model: in poor light conditions, photos are noisy, a flimsy battery cover and the fact that information about settings in manual modes quickly fades on the screen and in the optical viewfinder.

According to experts, this model is the best professional SLR camera from Nikon. The high cost of the device is more than offset by the rich functionality of the device.

This professional SLR camera from Nikon is distinguished by the presence of a sync contact — a special connector on the body of the device designed to connect an external flash. This is a key parameter for those interested in studio photography. Another topical mode is Time-lapse for creating short clips containing a long process, like sunrise, weather change, etc. The battery capacity can hold up to 900 images.

Nikon D850 Body

Nikon D850 Body

Professional SLR camera from Nikon with many nice features. The swivel screen greatly facilitates the task of reportage shooting, the fast silent shutter allows you to remain invisible, the 46.9 megapixel matrix surprises with detailed photos and rich, pleasant colors. Image stabilization works flawlessly.

The reviews write that at high ISO the camera produces a picture with almost no noise. Ergonomics are impressive — Nikon did a great job on this, changing the position of the buttons and function wheels and adjusting the shape for a more comfortable grip. The manufacturer also gives customers an annual subscription to Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom packages. Perhaps the gift should offset the fact that RAW is visible in the mentioned editor only in the latest version.

The best Nikon digital (compact) cameras

Nikon Coolpix B600

Nikon Coolpix B600

A compact lightweight (500 grams including battery) camera that boasts a 60x super zoom. The manual mode has disappeared here, but many modes have appeared for different genres and shooting scenarios. Photos became juicier without retouching. The quality of the shots has grown, and often raw footage does not even need editing.

This Nikon also stands out for its low dispersion lenses. Screen with a diagonal of 3 inches, almost a hundred focus points — 99 pieces. The battery is weak — with a capacity of 1050 mAh, which is enough for 280 photos. The reviews say that the low-capacity battery is the weakest point of this camera. But here is an optical image stabilizer when taking pictures, ISO up to 6400, a high-quality CMOS matrix. If you are looking for a compact camera with powerful optical zoom, this model is the best choice.

Nikon Coolpix P1000

Nikon Coolpix P1000

One of the largest model among compact cameras. The filling here is very balanced and will delight professional photographers, while amateurs and beginners will be completely delighted. The power of the zoom is surprising — it optically zooms in as much as 125 times. Nikon also offered users the opportunity to shoot in 4K, however, in the reviews they write that this is more of a marketing move than a full-fledged 4096 × 3072 resolution.

The viewfinder is one of the best, the screen is not bad, the stabilization is commendable. Light sensitivity is also a strong point of this model. Noises are almost not shown on the received photos. Video in 4K looks like a slightly improved Full HD, so it makes sense to go back to the good old 1920×1080 and get a smoother picture with a higher frame rate. The happy owners of this camera call it the best ultrazoom. Indeed, if you compare it with other Nikon creations, then you can’t find a competitor to the Coolpix P1000.

Nikon Coolpix A1000

Nikon Coolpix A1000

Relatively inexpensive compact camera on Android with a huge touch screen with a swivel function. The diagonal is 7.6 inches. This Nikon camera easily connects to a smartphone. It has conveniently located controls, a viewfinder, a large zoom — 35x. Pictures even in automatic mode come out high quality.

A nice bonus from the manufacturer is that the camera can be charged from micro-USB and shoot at the same time. The swivel screen allows you to comfortably take a selfie. Using Nikon’s proprietary smartphone app, you can control the camera remotely via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This camera will be the best model for those who are looking for a camera in a compact form factor, good zoom and wide functionality, including pairing with the phone. The battery is not very powerful, so save the power bank for long shots. The reviews complain about the long search for focus when shooting at maximum zoom, as well as failures when synchronizing with the phone.
