Nikon is a Japanese company based in Tokyo. It specializes in producing cameras, binoculars, microscopes, and other objects that require the use of optics. However, it has steered its production towards photography cameras and now is one of the most popular and largest manufacturers of cameras, both 35mm film or digital SLRs and compacts.
Digital SLR Cameras
Digital singlezero lag time. Nikon's Digital SLRs differ from other brands'. Nikon images usually come out very sharp in quality and with a greater contrast factor.
Who uses SLRs?
SLRs have recently gained more widespread use, but they are still mainly used by professionals. Though prices have followed a downward trend, SLRs are still pretty expensive so unless you are a photography enthusiast, you might not think that an SLR is worth a piece of your budget.
PointShoot or Compact Digital Cameras
Pointshoots have less "advanced" properties than an SLR would have, such as interchangeable lens, a manual zoom, or a limited zoom range. But they are great if you are trying to get photos of your friends at your next party or vacation.
Camera Lenses
One advantage of SLR cameras is their lens versatility. Nikon manufactures four different types of lens along with their zoom counterpart.
Camera Extras
If you are looking to purchase any kind of Nikon camera, most camera extras will be included in the Nikon camera's kit. But if you are thinking of purchasing the items separately, don't forget to get a hold of the following items:
* Camera batteries: Nikon Coolpix 5000 Battery.
* Camera USB cables.
* Camera bag & lens bag.
* Computer software to upload images to your computer.
