Nikon Coolpix S52c

We've often wondered why cameras don't come equipped with wireless transfer as standard, especially as Bluetooth and, increasingly, Wi-Fi are ubiquitous in mobile phones. The Nikon Coolpix S52c bucks this trend -- it's a 9-megapixel snapper that allows for wireless email, upload and back-up of images

Nikon Coolpix P60

Do you miss the days when cameras looked like cameras instead of flashy, new-fangled machines? Enter the Nikon Coolpix P60, a compact that makes retro styling cool again. A solid point-and-shoot, it strikes a balance of basic tweakability with general simplicity

Nikon Coolpix P80

It's neither a bird nor a plane -- it's a superzoom. More specifically, it's the Nikon Coolpix P80 with an 18x zoom lens. It ranks as one of the better superzooms among the handful in its class and its strong points include its excellent handling of colour saturation

Nikon Coolpix S600

The Nikon Coolpix S600 is an attractive 10-megapixel compact. Its small dimensions and elegant brushed metal case means it won't be out of place at a party. It's one of the fastest performers in the Coolpix range and produces good images, particularly out of doors

Nikon D60

Nikon's D60 is a good example of the current breed of entry-level dSLRs. With physical controls similar to that of a compact camera, this dSLR pumps up the features, allowing you to tweak your images in the camera, from fixing exposure and red-eye reduction to adding saturation

Nikon Coolpix S210

The Nikon Coolpix S210 does exactly what it says on the tin. It's small and compact; it won't leave you with an emptied wallet; and it takes decent pictures. Start shooting and you'll find it focuses quickly and your shots come out with well-balanced colours

Nikon D300

The Nikon D300 stands out in the crowded dSLR market. Its hot technologies -- a Live View screen, advanced autofocusing, digital lighting -- and faultless image quality are incorporated into a rock solid, high speed shell. The result is a camera that, while expensive, can take on its rivals

Nikon Coolpix P50

The Nikon Coolpix P50 has an old-fashioned, boxy feel with a helpful chunky grip. It's a solidly built, easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts kind of camera. It offers a surprisingly high degree of control over image settings, and as a result its photos are excellent quality for the price

Nikon Coolpix L10

The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot

Editor's rating 6.4

Nikon Coolpix S200

This tiny 7-megapixel compact is small enough to fit into just about any pocket, and includes Nikon's Face-Priority AF, Vibration Reduction and strong white balance controls

Editor's rating 6.0

Nikon Coolpix L11

Some budget digital cameras offer surprisingly good picture quality for very little money, such as the Nikon Coolpix L11, a simple, easy-to-use 6-megapixel point-and-shoot that produces very acceptable pictures for under £100

Editor's rating 6.4

Nikon Coolpix L12

The Nikon Coolpix L12 is a 7-megapixel budget camera that boasts two high-end features with optical Vibration Reduction that shifts the camera's 35-105mm equivalent lens to reduce shake. It also has face recognition technology that identifies subjects' faces and adjusts settings accordingly to best capture them

Nikon D40x

Nikon's D40x is a very impressive camera. While not quite as fast as the Canon EOS 400D, it does offer a higher resolution, and is ideal for first-time digital SLR owners

Nikon Coolpix P5000

With the 10-megapixel Coolpix P5000, Nikon has managed to include a plethora of amateur-friendly exposure controls in a compact that's easily small enough to fit into your pocket

Editor's rating 6.9

Nikon D40

The D40 has been designed to be easy to master -- you don't need to be a photographic genius -- but it also has enough functionality to satisfy those wanting to take their hobby further. We think the image quality from the 6.1-megapixel sensor will astonish those used to compact cameras

Nikon Coolpix L5

Like a growing number of cameras, the Coolpix L5 combines a short list of features with plenty of automation to provide a relatively thought-free user experience. The simplicity of this compact may appeal to those daunted by a multitude of settings, but some will be disappointed by the sluggish performance

Editor's rating 6.0

Nikon Coolpix L6

Like the rest of Nikon's L series the L6 eschews features in favour of simplicity. This 6-megapixel camera with its 38mm-to-116mm 3x optical zoom lens does not let you select an ISO and its performance can be slow, but if you like the idea of fully automated shooting, it could be a good choice
