'all the exposures seem brighter, regardless of metering setting, then they were with the D300.'
'Well-made.'
'lovely, vivid images'
'The button layout is extremely similar to what was used on the D300, so anyone familiar with that camera should have a relatively easy time learning the control interface on the D300S.'
'A middle-of-the-pack performer, with the exception of very fast start-up times, the D3000 doesn't improve much on the D60. '
'The Nikon D3000 looks and feels expensive; its build is similar to the more-expensive ($999 list, body only) Nikon D90 , but it's more compact (1.16 pounds) with a smaller grip and fewer buttons. '
'If you're an enthusiast photographer and want to learn more about how to take photos in different situations, there is probably no better camera to get your hands on than the Nikon D3000. '
'The slightly mottled plastic around the body is the standard Nikon feel, and overall build quality is excellent considering the price range. '
'Ultimately, the Nikon D90 gets high marks because it's a fast camera that delivers a great shooting experience and first-rate photos for the money.'
'With its very good feature set, excellent image quality, and reasonable price, the D90 is a camera you should absolutely consider if you're shopping for a mid-range SLR. '
'Solid body'
'The 12.3-megapixel D90 is a Mensa-worthy fistful of photo fury that could pave your way to MoMA's permanent collection.
'
'The D700's solid, weather-sealed magnesium-alloy body is ergonomically sound, providing good balance in the hand thanks to its grip and the positioning of the controls on the back.'
'The camera is ready to shoot as soon as you turn on the power switch so it's hard to argue with that first figure.'
