I have been an amateur photographer for over 30 years and have mostly worked with film for my "good" photography efforts. I have been using digital Point and Shoot cameras for the past several years, but recently decided to replace my 35mm SLR with a "real" camera. Very glad I did.

This model in the D-series camera range (D, DS, DS2, DL, DL2) is a truly capable and competent performer. I've had mine for close on 18 months now, so this is not a review based on the first rush of excitement. The very first impression is one of quality, with a solid, well-engineered body that has...

Cons Short BatteryRandomly blanks outSometimes it freezes

I recently bought the Nikon Coolpix S80 for a hefty price. Since I bought it, I haven't used it much. Although it is completely touch-screen, it blanks our  randomly. Then you have to take the battery out, let it sit, and bit it back in. This was a huge inconvenience to me, and I'm sure to you... Read full review »
