DSLR
Digital Single-Lens Reflex carneras (DSLRs) are typically the biggest and most expensive digital cameras
on the market, but for good reason because they also offer the most functionality, The bulkier size is
a result of the mirror system contained inside, which bounces the image recorded by the lens up to
an optical viewfinder so that you can see exactly what you're photographing, DSLRs also have larger
sensors for taking high-quality photos, but some are larger than others, Nikon's FX-format cameras
contain full frame sensors, which are approximately the same size as the 35mm used in film cameras.
They are designed to offer superior image quality with better sensitivity in low-light situations, but they
also cause the camera to be much bigger and more expensive. Alternatively, Nikon's DX-format cameras
contain slightly smaller sensors and therefore tend to be cheaper options ~ and more compact to boot
Nikon also produces both DX- and FX-compatible lenses for use with its range of DSLRs.

Bridge/Superzoom
Bridge cameras tend to be a little larger than compacts due to their impressive fixed lens that can
usually stretch great distances to cover a large focal range. This is why these cameras are often also
2at option for taking on holiday, because you can
known as superzooms and is what makes them ag
photograph a range of different scenes, from wide-angle landscapes to close-ups
without having to packa variety of heavy lenses, So although bridge cameras can be quite bulky, they
are still compact as a camera system because you only have one lens to worry about and it typically
retracts into the camera body when not in use.
Superzooms also usually feature manual controls, making them a great upgrade from a simple point
and shoot compact, or even a more portable altemative to a DSLR. Nikon offers several different bridge
jistant action,
cameras to suit any budget.

Nikon Coolpix
B700
Built with a DSLR-ike design, the Coolpix B700 puts the essential
controls at your fingertips with the inclusion of a PASM mode
dial. The comfortable-to-hold camera houses a powerful 20.2MP
backside-illuminated CMOS sensor that will capture every detail,
even in low light.
Youtl be able to get up close and personal with your captures
using the Super ED glass lens. The 60x optical zoom gives you
telephoto power, then the Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital
zoorn, effectively doubles that reach for a staggering 120x zoom. The
Dual Detect Vibration Reduction counteracts camera shake. Not only
will the zoom reach mean that you'll never miss a moment, but the
5fps will enable you to freeze action in its tracks.
For photographers who want to preserve maximum image quality
and have greater flexibility for editing images post capture, the B700
handily supports RAW files, Capturing in RAW format preserves all
of the data captured by the image sensor, making it easier to adjust
exposure settings, white balance and colours using photo editing
software later.
The large LCD display makes it easy to compose your shots or
monitor your video recording, Reviewing and sharing your creations
isa pleasure, too — every shot looks fantastic on the display, plus the
built in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth mean you can share with ease.

Nikon D5600
The Nikon D5600 is the
company’s higher entry-level
camera, sitting above the
103400. A modest upgrade of
the D5500, it shares many of the
same features as its beginner
brethren, but offers users extras
forits slightly higher cost. I's
a small camera, so perfect for
those not looking for anything
too bulky. A 24.2MP DX sensor
without a low pass filter delivers
plenty of detail, and an Exped
4 processing engine that helps
the camera shoot at Sfps. A big
advantage over the D3400 is its
built-in Wi-Fi.

The first thing that strikes
you about the D3400is how
compact its. Inside, however, it

‘OFcsc
Compact system cameras (CSCs) are the newest breed of camera, introduced as a more portable
solution to bulky interchangeable lens cameras. Like DSLRs, they feature manual controls and a
relatively large sensor, but they do not contain a mirror system, hence why they are sometimes known
as mirrorless cameras. Instead, the light travels straight down the lens to the image sensor, so there is
10 option to have an optical viewfinder, just an electrical one that displays a digital representation of
the scene, Most CSCs feature smaller cropped sensors because they are so compact in size. Because
this type of camera is quite new, there are not as many lens options available as there are for DSLRs.
However, as their popularity grows, so does the lens line-up, and the Nikon 1 range of CSCs already has

The Nikon Coolpix 1000 sits among the manufacturer's top-of

compositional scope without carying a bulky kit bag,
Its ultra-portable at just 330g, a touch heavier than the A900, but
still manages to incorporate a grip to make handling convenient.
The 35x optical zoom lens is designed to capture pretty much any
subject and can be extended up to 70x via the Dynamic Fine Zoom

close focusing for macro, too.
You can use the manual focusing ring for fine tuning image
sharpness, and the ISO range of ISO 80 to 1600 (3200 in certain
modes) lets you shoot in lower light while keeping a high shutter
speed. You can also capture action using the 7fpss continuous
shooting mode and 1/4,000s top shutter speed. All of this is great,
Summary but the main disappointment is the absence of RAW mode, Being
restricted to JPEG is frustrating if you wish to edit images extensively.
