The Nikon Coolpix L14 features a seven megapixel CCD linked to a Nikkor-branded 3x optical zoom lens, in an understated, stylish and relatively compact body. The Coolpix L14 offers a 2.4-inch 115,000 pixel LCD for framing and playback, but like many other small cameras these days, the L14 includes no optical viewfinder.

The D60 is the third incarnation of Nikon’s compact, user-friendly entry-level SLR line that started back in 2006 with the D40 (which replaced the first Nikon ’starter’ model, the D50). The original D40 was a hugely important camera for Nikon and can be given a lot of the credit for the resurgence in Nikon’s fortunes […]

Few will argue that Nikon’s DSLRs are among the most esteemed digital cameras available; however, the prevailing sentiment among photo enthusiasts is that the compact Nikon digicams often pale in comparison to their bigger siblings.

Aspiring photographers looking to make the jump from an entry-level digital SLR to something more professional have a lot of good options these days. But the best camera we’ve seen so far in the so-called “semi-pro” DSLR category also happens to be the most expensive: the 12.3-megapixel Nikon D300, which retails for $1,799—and that doesn’t […]

Following on from Nikon’s professional models at the end of last year, February saw the arrival of a new entry-level model in the form of the Nikon D60. The 16th DSLR to come from Nikon, the D60 is pitched at newcomers to digital SLRs and sits in the Nikon range between the D40x and D80.

As I’ve remarked before, I get to see and use a lot of digital cameras in the course of my job, from the cheapest budget compacts to the very best professional DSLRs. As a life-long camera nerd I couldn’t be happier with this arrangement, but there is a drawback.

It’s probably fair to say that of the 12-megapixel compact cameras that I’ve reviewed so far, I haven’t found many that I liked. Most have had distinctly sub-standard image quality, nearly all of them are are overpriced, and even the few relatively good ones are disappointing compared to similar lower-resolution models. It was with some […]

The D300’s new higher resolution sensor means Nikon has had to develop a new processing engine called Expeed that chews through the camera’s 16-bit files that are downsampled to 12 or 14-bit NEF RAWs or 8-bit TIFF or JPEG files. The boost in resolution of the new CMOS sensor and its extra 2-megaipxel’s of resolution […]

The Nikon Coolpix P50 sits on the bottom rung of three “Performance” Coolpix models Nikon has in that range which also includes the P5000 and P51000. As such it offers a more affordable balance between specification, shooting tools and user control in a package that is wrapped in what Nikon calls and “classic” camera package […]

The Nikon Coolpix P5100 compact digital camera is the successor to the P5000, which is a mere 6 months old. The new P5100 improves on the older model by offering a 12.1 megapixel , 1/1.72-inch CCD sensor and the new EXPEED digital image processing engine for better looking images, even at faster ISO speeds. There’s […]
