Thinking about you can invest somewhere between $400 furthermore $3500 for a good Nikon SLR camera these days, it would behoove, just about any opportunity consumer to do their homework, and understand what they are getting. There are actually undoubtedly quite a few distinctions between the underside of the Nikon SLR line D40, and the top of the line D3, currently selling in the mid 3K price range. I’m obviously only referring only to the realm of digital cameras here. So, if your looking for film only camera gems like the Nikon F2, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Two of the most important analyzing factors when it comes to the price of the digital SLRs coming from Nikon (or any camera manufacturer), are lens quality and image sensor size. Pretty much everyone is familiar with what a lens is, but image sensor is perhaps not so obvious. An image sensor is inside the camera, and replaces the film of old school cameras. Larger image sensors collect more light, dynamic range, and will result in less image noise. Really don’t mix them up with image sensor size with megapixels, as they are two completely different specifications. A 10 megapixel compact camera may have a 7.19mm x5.27mm image sensor, while a 10 megapixel SLR camera may have a 28.7mm x 17.8mm image sensor. The SLR would certainly surely take a much better picture.
