| Summary: If you want to save a little money but still want a good entry level DSLR with a zoom lens, this kit from Nikon might be for you. Some said this was an outstanding camera for beginners that wanted a camera they could grow into as they got better at photography. With many lenses available and a large list of features built into the camera, it's easy to see why it received so many five-star ratings. There were a couple one-star ratings, but one was an attempt at a cute poem that seemed targeted more toward Nikon than at this particular digital SLR. Those people aside, there were many great things said about this camera.

| Summary: This DSLR camera from Nikon is heavy and sometimes loud, as noted by less than 15% of reviewers, but these are "outweighed" by the positives about this camera. From fast shutter speed to superior quality photos, and even to a simple, easy to use construction and design, there are many features about this DSLR camera that reviewers mentioned. The fact that it takes high quality videos as well as still photos is mentioned a few times and is one of the many reasons this digital camera has received so many five-star positive reviews since its first release. From photojournalism (sports photography) to landscapes and portraits, this Nikon gets two thumbs up.

| Summary: There were a couple three-star reviews that said this camera was okay but nothing spectacular, but there were many more who gave it a five-star rating because they loved the image quality and the powerful optical zoom. Even more surprising was a lack of one-star reviews for the most part. People called this camera the king of the mega-zoom point-and-shoot cameras and the 18x optical zoom with image stabilization is what enabled this camera to take that position. While small, the outstanding picture quality was brought up by more than one person. As with all cameras of this size, low light photos aren't the greatest. That aside, this is a great small point-and-shoot with a powerful optical zoom.

| Summary: While it is a digital point and shoot camera primarily for still photographs, some people were even impressed by the low light videos shot with this Nikon. It isn't a DSLR camera, but it was said to function as well as some of the entry level DSLR cameras at hundreds of dollars less. While the included battery works well, some recommended getting a back-up battery if you shoot more than 300 or so photos at a time. For the price, this was said to be very hard to beat. If you're not ready to step-up to a full blown DSLR camera, but you still want to get the very best point and click around, this might be the camera of your dreams.

| Summary: While it doesn't have the most powerful optical zoom, this Canon Powershot still received a lot of good reviews. One person called this camera the king of compacts. People really seemed to like the small size of this camera, saying it was very portable and easy to store away until a photo opportunity presented itself. They also liked the 10MP quality of the photos. This was recommended for people who want a small but powerful point-and-click camera for occasional snapshots or photo opportunities that arise. The zoom might not be enough for some people, but for most it was fine for their needs. |
