It’s hard to choose from all these bodies and lenses, so make it easier and read our guide
Not sure which Nikon body will be the one for you? Here’s a rundown of the current range*
Nikon Z7
A deeply impressive camera, that combines the resolution, speed and build quality of a high-end pro DSLR in a compact body. It may be the company’s first-ever full-frame mirrorless, but it’s so polished and well designed that you’d think that Nikon had been making them for years.
Nikon Z6
it may seem like a lesser Z7, but the Z6 improves on its sibling with incredible high-iso performance, insanely fast 12fps continuous shooting and the ability to shoot uncropped 4K video – at two-thirds of the price. Unless you need ludicrously large images, this is the mirrorless of choice for most of us.
Nikon D3500
NIKON HAS refreshed AND rejuvenated one of its classic designs to keep it fresh, responsive and appealing to first-time DSLR buyers. A perfectly capable camera with fantastic image quality that makes a fitting choice for people looking to take their first steps into the world of DSLR photography.
Nikon D5600
This choice dx-format camera adds Snapbridge image-transfer tech to the same sensor and processor as the D5500. It features a built-in sensor-cleaning system and powerful pop-up flash, plus a neat Time Lapse Movie mode previously only found in more advanced DSLRS.
Nikon D7200
Building ON THE d7100’s specifications, the D7200 boasts better low-light autofocus, a bigger memory buffer, an updated processor, built-in Wi-fi and NFC connectivity, plus trick modes for doing light-trail photography and making time-lapse movies in-camera.
Nikon D7500
THE d7500 sees A drop in resolution compared to its predecessor and only has one, rather than two, memory card slots, but benefits from increased low-light performance, a beefier EXPEED 5 processor and 8fps shooting, plus 4K video and a tilting touchscreen.
Nikon D610
full-frame PHOTOGRAPHY starts Here, with the most affordable of Nikon’s FX cameras.
It’s no slouch, with a 6fps maximum drive rate and a quiet (but slower) continuous drive option. It also features a weather-sealed body and, compared to the D600, a revised shutter unit.
Nikon D750
THE d750 is easily manageable for a semi-pro full-frame body. A reasonably priced addition to the lineup, it includes a tilting LCD screen and built-in Wi-fi. The pixel count strikes a happy balance between the 16.2Mp DF/D4S and the 36.3Mp D810.
Nikon D500
Nikon’s semi-pro dx-format dslr is in many respects a dream camera. It boasts a blazingly fast, effective AF system and 10fps continuous shooting with a huge 200-shot Raw buffer, plus first-rate metering and white balance. For the money, it might just be one of Nikon’s best.
Nikon Df
iconic design meets High-tech excellence in this retro beauty. The Df is amazingly compact for a full-frame body, but direct-access dials and buttons ensure that shooting controls are always within easy reach. The lack of video shooting capability is a surprise omission, though.
Nikon D810
THE d810 BOASTS 36.3 million pixels and, unlike the older D800E, has no optical low-pass filter. It has a later-generation processor, an extended sensitivity range and a smorgasbord of handy extra features. A special astrophotography edition, D810A, is also available.
Nikon D850
THE d850 combines High resolution with speed. Its full-frame sensor delivers a staggering 45.7Mp resolution at 7fps, which can be boosted to a blistering 9fps with the optional battery grip. It also boasts full-frame 4K video, and offers one of the largest optical viewfinders on a Nikon DSLR.
Nikon D5
capable Of SHOOTING 12 frames per second, and with a buffer capacity of 200 raw files, Nikon’s flagship DSLR also boasts 153 AF points – three times more than the D4S. The pixel count has also gone up, to 20.8Mp, as has the maximum ISO, to a staggering 3.3 million.
