Digital SLR Cameras > 6 - 8 Megapixels Digital SLR Cameras

Advantages: Lightweight, Great Capture
Disadvantages: Built in flash

I purchased the Nikon D40 in June of 2007. It is by far the most used camera in my fleet. Lightweight - yet perfectly capable of capturing anything! I use it for portraits, wedding photography, candids, landscapes, macro - name it. The built in flash works in a pinch, but I prefer the SB-600 Speedlight attached for anything that requires a flash. If you are looking into purchasing a nice lightweight, high performance digital SLR this is your best ...
...wouldn't bother buying anything more unless you could afford the Nikon D200, which in my opinion is the only camera that is a step up and worth the money. Great value for beginners, but impressive enough for the novice. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who loves photography. ... Read review

Advantages: Takes pictures quickly, great quality pictures, very versatile, easy for beginners.
Disadvantages: To take full advantage of its features, you need good photography knowledge.

An amazing product. This truly puts in your hands a camera capable of taking almost any shot. Some photography knowledge is very helpful to use it to its full extent. However, even if you are a novice, it has some very nice features that allow you to take excellent pictures, without breaking a sweat. Also, the view box is nice and big, plenty of pixels to show you all the details and gives you a pretty good idea of what the picture looks like. Overall, ...
...I have 4 kids and each one of them are adorable. And I can snap and take pictures quickly, if I don't like it, it takes 2 seconds to erase and take again. No appreciable lag time from picture to picture, like many other digital cameras. LOVE IT! ... Read review

Advantages: shake reduction in body, high ISO, low noise
Disadvantages: no automatic ccd cleaning

I bought this camera about 14 months ago and mode a couple of thousands photos with it so far. 6 mega pixel doesn't sound much, but is definitely enough. Who honestly ever makes printouts lager then 24x16"? But the "disadvantage of the low number of pixels make some other advantages possible: ISO3200 with very low noise, smaller, usable picture files etc. Also the Share Reduction being built into the camera instead of the lenses (like Canon does) ...

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: a little expensive

I use this camera for my work - I am the editor of a small weekly newspaper in Montana- and I love it! I also use it to take hundreds of pictures of my new baby, and for taking professional photos of seniors and weddings. I love it because it is so simple to use, and produces very high quaility photos. It also has great attachments - like a telephoto lens, that are easy to attach and use. I have used my camera in a variety of settings - indoor basketball ... Read review

Advantages: Great for out doors
Disadvantages: none yet

This camera, along with looking good, is pretty cheap for its quality. It's great for taking along hiking or camping; this is primarily an outdoor camera. It takes okay indoors, but much better outdoors. The flash settings aren't the best, but when the flash is turned off is when you get the best quality from this camera. As a photographer, I use this camera mostly for the outdoors, but on occasion I have used it for family holidays and other indoor ... Read review
