Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

The world's first camera with an integrated projector, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj's most interesting feature will either have you chortling with delight or feeling totally unimpressed. But it's not all about the projector -- the S1000pj is a pretty good compact in its own right

The 10.2-megapixel D3000 digital SLR is very much suited to beginners seeking to dip their toes further into the photographic ocean. Not only does it offer guidance on how to use it but there are full manual controls for when your know-how increases. The best thing is that its photo quality is first-rate

Nikon D300S

Aimed at professionals, the 12-megapixel D300S is a great digital SLR. It offers fantastic picture quality, excellent high-definition movies, a super-tough body that feels like it's been hewn from granite, and some top-notch features. Its price tag may very well bring a tear to your eye though

Nikon Coolpix S220

The 10-megapixel Coolpix S220 is a good option for those who want a straightforward, inexpensive camera that will take photos of a sufficient quality for posting online. It's also incredibly small and lightweight, and offers very good features for its class

Nikon D5000

A long-awaited replacement for the D80, the D5000 brings significant new features to the entry-level dSLR. With a CMOS sensor, a flip-down-and-swivel LCD, an improved AF system and a fancy interactive display, there's plenty to like about it, especially with the quality of photos it produces

Nikon Coolpix L100

The 10-megapixel Coolpix L100 is a budget superzoom aimed at beginners. While it's got few frills and is easy to use, it also boasts a solid build and good picture quality. We're slightly baffled by the lack of manual ISO control, and the LCD could be better, but this is a decent camera otherwise

Editor's rating 6.7

Nikon Coolpix S620

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S620 is compact, responsive and pleasant to use, providing a better overall experience than its big brother, the S630. The smile- and blink-detection modes are slightly confusing, but this speedy camera is great for taking impromptu shots, and an appealing device overall

Editor's rating 7.7

Nikon Coolpix S230

The 10-megapixel Coolpix S230 ultra-compact camera offers all of the point-and-shoot basics in a stylish package. It also has an intuitive touchscreen that helps it stand out from the crowd, while picture quality is generally good. It could be speedier, but the S230 is a decent snapper overall

Editor's rating 7.0

Nikon Coolpix S710

The Coolpix S710 is a full-featured, 14-megapixel ultra-compact that, despite a limited low-light performance, takes good photos. It's held back by its slow performance, but, if you can overlook that, the S710 is a sound choice for those seeking a point-and-shoot companion for their digital SLR

Editor's rating 7.2

Nikon D700

The Nikon D700, featured here with a 24-120mm lens, is a sound choice for those seeking professional-calibre photos for a slightly less daunting price. As long as you don't need pro-sports-speed continuous-shooting performance, the D700 is quite fast, delivering on focus even in low light

Editor's rating 8.5

Nikon Coolpix P6000

Nikon's 13.5-megapixel P6000 looks so good on paper you might wonder whether you need a digital SLR at all. Its sensor matches the pixel count of any low-medium range dSLR, its 4x zoom is more than the average kit lens, it shoots raw files, has a full set of exposure modes and there's vibration reduction too

Editor's rating 7.3

Nikon Coolpix S60

With its sleek body and touchscreen (a current must-have feature), the 10-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S60 is a stylish, functional accessory that allows for extensive photo personalisation. For those looking for high performance, however, the search isn't over yet

Editor's rating 7.2

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

Editor's rating 6.6

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

Editor's rating 6.5

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

Editor's rating 7.1

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

Editor's rating 6.6

Nikon Coolpix S520

If price is a major deciding factor in your next digital camera purchase, the Nikon Coolpix S520 is a solid-gold hit. Priced affordably, it's also the epitome of point-and-shoot compacts -- simple features and performance that boasts maximum ease and minimum effort

Editor's rating 6.0

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

Editor's rating 7.2

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 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
