What is the best Nikon SLR Digital camera to get?
I want to buy a nikon slr digital, but I’m sort of new to the whole thing. I’m pretty much going to use it to take pictures of family, scenery and stuff like that. I just want one for leisure and taking excellent quality photos. I was thinking of the D50? Also if anyone could give me some info on what kind of lens are excellent that would help too. thanks
Answer by GBCPL
A D50 is excellent but i will say a D70 is nicer, either way expect to do a honest quantity of reading

im not sure

“family, scenery and stuff like that.”
Well those are two very different things. Wild animals dont let you get too close. Your family… Well possibly they dont either..
Nikon makes SLRs that retail for $ 4,000 and up. Choose your budget, then the pronouncement is much simpler. I prefer Canon for myself..
Answer by Dr. Sam
Of course, budget matters, but I have both the D70s and D200 and bought my wife a D50 so she woul dnot be jealous of my cameras! It’s a fantastic SLR for the novice photographer and it also allows just as much creative control as the D70s when you are ready to enhancement.
Get a “decent” lens, such as their Nikkor AF-S 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G ED DX lens and not the cheaper “kit” lens. This pair will cost you less than $ 1,000 and you will be very pleased with it. This is an brilliant lens for “family” shots and that is really why we chose this one. If you want more lenses for the same money, you can get this camera with two “kit” lenses that are decent, but not as excellent for the long haul as the one I mentioned. When you are ready to add lenses, the sky is the limit with Nikon. For “scenery” shots, you might want an ultra close-up macro lens or an amazingly powerful telephoto lens. Nikon offers both and everything in between. Get a 1 GB memory card, such as the Sandisk “Ultra” for decent write speed. You can get these in the $ 30 range and less. An “Extreme” is quicker, but I doubt anyone would notice the difference except a pro.
Someone else wil undoubtedly recommend a similar Canon camera and I will not dispute that choice. I know Nikons and someone else knows Canons. Both are brilliant cameras and you will never outgrow their system offerings.

Which one of the SLR you buy doesn’t matter. What does matter is the lens you buy for the camera. I’d recommend this one (it costs roughly $ 315):

Slap that on a D70s or a D50 and you will be very pleased.

Of course Best Buy wouldn’t honor this pricing mistake…

9 camera, 9 lens and battery NOW 9.96. This sign sat alongside other total camera wrap signs with price ranges like 0 to 00. This wrap is really advertised this week in the circular for 9 (wrap link at the time). They wouldn’t quite admit it was an error — saying only that it was the price for an "belt wrap" .. even though it clearly doesn’t read that. They would admit that the sign seemed ambiguous.
I want to buy a Nikon camera. Which digital camera do you guys reckon is the best? Professional cameras! delight mention the pixels 
Answer by fhotoace
The Nikon D300s for your cropped sensor camera and the Nikon D3s for your full frame camera
There is NO need to mention pixels since they have nothing to do with a professional camera except that they do exist on them
ALL dSLR’s, professional or entry level use interchangeable lenses.
More on pixels

Answer by Matt
i can tell by the fact that your asking if you can change the lenses on any nikon ‘professional’ camera , and the fact that you are listing ‘pixels’ as the only criteria in your choice of camera, that you really shouldnt get one.
theres no such thing as a professional camera – just cameras that are more suited to professionals, and believe me getting a ‘pro’ camera does not equal pro pictures. i dont mean to be snobby but so many people reckon that when they are export a camera at first.
i would recommend the nikon d40 as a starting point… reason being it is just an brilliant camera for the price, and very small and set alight. you can get it off amazon for as cheap as chips. since it is a DSLR you will be able to change lenses. it does not have a high megapixel rating but believe me you will not need to worry about this, higher megapixels generally only help with cropping and printing at large sizes.
heres a link to the nikon d40
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-D40-Zoom-Nikkor-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G/dp/B000KIX65S
although i would not buy it off amazon…. ebay would be safer providing it is a safe seller. this camera is discontinued so you cant buy it at a store.
excellent luck!
Answer by Jeroen Wijnands
Nikon D300s is the simplest, it’s a 12mpix camera and of course you can change lenses. It ends with the D3x which is 24mpix.
