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...

Pros Shockproof, waterproof, compact, takes good-quality pictures.
Cons Shutter delay (as you would expect).
Recommended it? Yes

We wanted to buy our son a camera for his eleventh birthday, and even though he is pretty responsible, he does have two little sisters, so we knew that we had to buy something that he wouldn't be anxious about sharing.
