This commodity reads backwards. The newest is on top. Click any photo to get to its review.

2007
Generations
There are vast differences in existent image quality between Nikon's two generations of digital cameras.
Similar most marketing organizations and repressive governments, camera makers keep near people in the night past keeping them worrying about easy-to-sympathise things which brand no deviation, like pixels and ISOs which are like shooting fish in a barrel to describe with just 1 number, instead of trying to teach people what actually matters, which are the subtleties of how a picture really looks.
Because camera makers have the masses worrying nigh pixels and bit depths, when Nikon makes significant advances, they're ordinarily non obvious behind all the fluff.
The deviation betwixt generations is then significant that the best Gen 1 camera, the D2Xs, can't make pictures as practiced as the cheapest Gen two camera, the D90, in nearly existent picture-taking situations.
Get-go Generation
Nikon's offset generation of digital SLRs started with the D1 of 1999 and continues in 2008 with the D40.
The first generation has just primitive pic and white residual adjustments.
Gen 1 cameras have an Optimize Image menu with crude controls assuasive only ii rudimentary options of "Enhance (+)" or "Moderate (-)" for saturation, and WB trims that extend merely to ±3. There is no green/magenta aligning for WB.
At that place were meaningless mentions of undefined modes I, II and III in the Optimize Image bill of fare, but no clever dynamic range management as Gen ii adds.
Gen 1 cameras are the D1 and D2 serial, D40, D40x, D50, D70, D70s, D80, D100 and D200.
Second Generation
Nikon'south second generation DSLRs started coming out in 2007 with the D3 and D300.
Second generation cameras offer the potential of significantly ameliorate real image quality because Gen 2 cameras add Nikon's Adaptive Dynamic Range (ADR).
Presuming its turned on, ADR allows Gen 2 cameras to render virtually real scenes much closer to the way our eyes see them, without all added contrast, blown highlights and blocked shadows mutual on movie and Gen i cameras for most people.
If you're a pro who knows how, and actually controls his lighting perfectly, and so you can get cracking results on Gen ane cameras, but for about people who don't, Gen 2 cameras volition give significantly better pictures.
The D90 has ADR on by default, and the D3, D700 and D300 need it turned on in the menus. I always shoot my cameras with ADR in NORMAL (or Machine if available) for every shot.
Gen 2 cameras also are Nikon'due south offset cameras to allow a full range of saturation and other prototype adjustments. Saturation and other values are set up in direct units of upwardly to ±iii. These are set up in the Flick Controls menus.
Gen 2 cameras take WB trims which extend 6 units in each direction, marked in bluish and amber (non + and -) and allow green/magenta adjustment.
Gen 2 cameras offer five manual preset (gray carte du jour) WB storage settings, complete with icons and notes.
Gen ii cameras magically and automatically correct color fringes caused by most lenses. If you lot're a tweaker, this alone significantly improves corner sharpness.
| | |
| | The Gen 2 D90 is far, far better than the Gen 1 D200. I didn't have a D2Xs for comparison, merely it would be the same as the D200. These shots are crops from the corner with the xviii-200mm VR at 18mm. The D90 is equally sharp as the D300. The D90 was focused elsewhere in this example. |
Gen 2 cameras are using the increased in-camera processing horsepower to practise all these tricks. If yous're wasting your time shooting raw, you volition have to hope that any software you're using to open raw files is as smart every bit what Nikon is building into these cameras for complimentary. Many off-brands of software can't do any of this.
At that place was never much reason for raw, and in Gen two, fifty-fifty less. Information technology's quite likely that using raw with a Gen 2 camera and most, if non all, software, volition throw you dorsum into Gen 1 quality. Information technology's not 2006 anymore. Most raw software does not practise whatsoever of the clever things, like ADR, expanded color controls or totally automated lens corrections, that are done in-photographic camera.
Gen 2 cameras besides have a super-sharp new three" LCD screen.
Gen 2 cameras are the D3, D700, D300 and D90.
The D60 has ADR, but its stuck with the old Optimize Image menu and none of the other Gen two additions, so call it Gen 1.1 if you lot insist. I'grand calling it Gen one.
The D3000 has ADR and Gen 2 Picture Controls, but it has a crummier 3" LCD screen and does not correct lateral colour fringes, so I'll call it Gen ane.five.
2007
Nikon D3 and 50mm f/1.iv AF-D.
23 Baronial 2007: The D300 and D3 are appear for November auction. Both have new three" LCDs with live viewing.
The D3 is another milestone with Nikon'south start 24x36mm sensor, dubbed FX. It runs 9FPS for $v,000. The D3 replaces the D2Xs. Nikon'south press release on the D3.
Nikon D300 and 18-200mm VR DX.
The D300 is an evolution of the D200, at present with a 12MP DX sensor and 6-8 FPS for $ane,800. $ane,800 oddly is a price increase $300 over the D200. The D300 replaces the D200. Nikon'south press release on the D300.
Nikon D40x and 18-55mm DX Ii.
05 March 2007: The D40x is announced to fill a vacant cost point in Nikon'southward line. It is the same as the excellent D40, but with 10MP DX instead of 6MP, only a slower sync speed of 1/200 vs. 1/500, a slower default ISO of 100 vs. 200, and a $200 higher price than the D40. The D40x was introduced to let Nikon fill in a price point in its camera line for competitive purposes. Personally I prefer the less expensive D40. See besides the Megapixel Myth.
2006
Nikon D40 and eighteen-55mm DX II.
xvi November 2006: The D40 is announced for Christmas at $599 with included excellent 18-55mm II lens. It is the smallest, lightest and to the lowest degree expensive Nikon DSLR ever. Information technology started aircraft on November 30th, 2006. 6MP DX.
Nikon D80 and 35mm f/2 AF-D.
09 August, 2006: The D80 is announced. x MP DX, three FPS for $999. The D80 is a D70 body and mechanics with the sensor and LCD of the D200.
Nikon D2Xs and 17-55mm f/2.8 DX.
June 2006: The D2Xs is announced, a slight improvement to the D2X. Same 12 MP DX and 5FPS and weird crop fashion. $4,700.
2005
Nikon D200 and xviii-200mm VR DX.
01 Nov 2005: the D200 is announced. It'southward a groundbreaker at 10MP DX and 5 FPS at $1,699. It shipped in Dec 2005 as promised. Information technology was on backorder until most October 2006. The D200 starts a new level in the Nikon line betwixt the plastic D70 and the pro D2X.
Nikon D70s and 18-70mm DX.
Nikon D50 and 18-55mm DX.
22 April 2005: The D70s and D50 are introduced. The D70s is a D70 with slightly larger screen. The D50 is a D70 with a couple of features removed. The D50 is notwithstanding 6MP DX but but 2.5 FPS.
The D70, D70s and D50 are great cameras new or used, but replaced by the two-year-newer D80 of late 2006.
Nikon D2Hs and Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX.
xvi Feb, 2005: The D2Hs is appear: 8 FPS DX, 4 MP, two.5" LCD.
It's a minor revision of the D2H at a bargain price of $iii,500. This makes a used D2H or new D2HS a great purchase for sports. They are the same as the more than expensive D2Xs, just faster with a few less pixels.
2004
Nikon D2X and 17-55mm f/ii.8 DX.
16 September, 2004: the D2X is appear. 12MP DX, 5 FPS, $5,000. The D2X also has a bizarre cropped 7 MP, 8 FPS mode. Virtually of what the D2X does is replaced past the D200 in 2005. I'd become a used D2X if the price was right. It'south Nikon's top of the line. I adopt the D200 for smaller size and a couple of more than features.
Nikon D70 and 18-70mm DX.
February 2004: Nikon shows the D70 at PMA. It'south lightweight, 6MP DX, iii FPS and a groundbreaker at $999. The D70 is a huge improvement over the D100 in virtually every way except having no accessory vertical grip. All this, and information technology's priced less, too! The D70 fixes the dust problem past moving the CCD filter further away from the CCD. This throws grit out of focus and makes information technology much less of an annoyance than on the D1 series cameras.
The D70 replaced the D100.
Nikon was going to discontinue the D100, simply instead decided to keep making the D100 considering they discovered they could get a higher price than the D70 simply because of the model number. People who equated cost with quality kept ownership D100s because they toll more.
2003
December, 2003: Nikon announced the development of the D70. Nikon had little to say other than the D70 would exist inexpensive. Nikon was still inventing the D70 and had none to sell. Nikon made the declaration to go people to expect instead of fleeing from Nikon to Canon's inexpensive Digital Rebel.
Nikon D2H and 17-55mm f/2.8 DX.
22 July, 2003: The D2H is appear. four.ane MP DX, 8 FPS, $v,000. The D2H was a new design with a much improved Li-Ion battery and a new flash exposure organization. The D2H is a deal used and a fantastic camera for sports.
2002
Nikon D100 and 18-70mm DX.
21 February, 2002: The D100 is announced. It's 6 MP DX and 3 FPS for $1,999. This is Nikon'southward first lightweight amateur DSLR photographic camera. It was an N80 with digital guts. Information technology wasn't available for sale until June, 2002. It was a sellout with long waiting lists for a year after its introduction.
In May 2003 the D100 dropped to $1,699. In Dec 2003 it dropped to $1,499 where it stayed for a year or two. In May 2005 it dropped to $999.
Forget the D100, simply snap one up if you lot can get a screaming deal.. The newer D70 and D50 work better. The D100 required messing with a wheel and knob to make disquisitional adjustments. The newer cameras have directly entry buttons. The newer cameras accept two years of actress wisdom in their firmware and but practise everything improve. Wink exposure isn't very expert on the D100. See a comparison here. The D100 used the same EN-EL3 Li-Ion battery of the D50 and D70.
2001
Nikon D1H and 17-35mm f/two.8. Nikon D1X looks the same except for model number.
05 February 2001: Nikon announces the D1X and D1H, improvements to the D1. Performance was honed, a few features were added and price remained at $v,000.
They both replaced the numerical carte du jour system with easy to sympathise menus in English language.
The D1H kept the 2.vii MPDX sensor and increased speed to 5 FPS.
The D1X slowed to 3 FPS, but increased resolution to five.three MP. The resolution of the D1X is still decent in 2006. It used a bizarre CCD with twice the horizontal pixel density of the D1. Image quality was, and even so is, extremely adept because it had 4,024 horizontal pixels on the CCD. It had to do less Bayer interpolation and thus has much better image quality than 1 would look in its 3,008 x 2,000 pixel images.
Don't buy either of these today regardless of price. They had awful bombardment systems. I had a D1H. They simply run for about 250 shots on a charge. The batteries are huge, heavy Ni-MH packs which require constant babying in charging. The packs have protuberances which make them painful to carry in a pocket. They lose charge if left unused. Fifty-fifty a freshly charged battery would indicate most dead after a few shots. Virtually D1, D1H and D1X users including myself lived with the viewfinder indications turning off, indicating almost dead battery, after merely a few shots. They likewise had awful flash exposure. Many photographers had to revert to non-TTL exposure modes because the TTL mode was then flaky. Dust was a horrible trouble because the CCD embrace filter was too close to the CCD. At almost any aperture you'd see dust conspicuously on the image. They were state of the art in their era (2001 - 2003), but that era is long gone.
1999:Globe'due south Start Practical DSLR
Nikon D1 and Nikon 35mm f/1.viii DX.
xv February 1999: Nikon appear information technology was working on "a new professional class, high-quality digital Single Lens Reflex Camera."
fifteen June, 1999: Nikon announces the D1, the world'due south first applied DSLR. It is the first practical DSLR because it'southward the starting time DSLR with good enough image quality for print (2.7 MP DX), fast enough (4.v FPS) and priced low enough ($5,000) and functional plenty to exist sensible to employ daily as a main camera. Information technology's also the first DSLR made with Nikon electronics in a Nikon trunk, by Nikon.
It replaced moving-picture show at frontward-looking newspapers.
Forget most it today, regardless of cost. For the aforementioned cost you tin become the greatly improved D1H or D1X, neither of which are worthwhile today either. The D1 is bars to the dumpster of history (and collectors) because its bombardment system is a pain, and its menu structure requires interpreting numerical custom functions. It requires a cheat sheet to decipher. Wink exposure performance is awful. Get 1 merely every bit a landmark camera to collect. The D1 is the landmark. The D1 is the camera that replaced picture show at newspapers.
The D1 is unique in having a 1/16,000 top shutter speed, since its shutter is also electronic. That's how it gets a 1/500 sync speed. If you employ the PC sync terminal or a non-dedicated flash and then the D1 doesn't know y'all've got a flash attached; sync goes all the way to 1/16,000!
Nikon appear no new DSLRs for a couple of years.
1998
The similar E3 and E3S came out, still based on a big klunky Fuji torso. They were still only 1.3 MP (1,280 x one,000 pixels). SCSI interface. Still virtually $20,000.
These relics are worth about $300 in 2006. Don't bother using them for serious photography.
1996
A minor upgrade, the E2N and E2NS came out and was still about $20,000.
These relics are worth about $300 in 2006. Don't bother using them for serious photography.
1995
Digital SLRs are still science experiments, but in series production for special events. Nikon finally makes its first commercialized DSLR, over twenty years after America invented digital cameras.
It was chosen the Nikon E2 and E2S. They weren't Nikon bodies at all. They were hacked out of Fuji bodies with Nikon electronics! Bizarre internal reduction eyes helped restore the field of view, with weird effective apertures. PCMCIA carte memory. Well-nigh $20,000 and simply 1.3 megapixels, which is why they don't count equally practical cameras.
These relics are worth almost $300 in 2006. Don't bother using them for serious photography.
1991
Digital SLRs are withal custom congenital laboratory experiments. NASA had some Texans hack an F4 to fly on the STS-48 shuttle mission. It had a 1MP black-and-white sensor and recorded to a Texas-sized difficult drive hacked to the bottom of the F4. Come across information technology here. Nikon had naught to exercise with this every bit far as I know. It was the Texans who played Frankenstein with a stock F4 body.
Kodak sold the $thirteen,000 1.3 MP DCS-100, hacked into an F3HP trunk.
1990
Kodak shows a hacked Nikon trunk with a Kodak sensor at Photokina called the DCS. Information technology was 1 MP and toll $25,000. It shipped in 1991.
Kodak kept trying through about 2003, and gave up after the 14n.
These and afterwards model Kodaks were popular for some news events, but virtually newspapers that had them threw them away when the D1 came out in 1999.
1973
Kodak created the beginning digital camera in Rochester, New York, U.s.a.. It was big and scary and certainly didn't run on batteries. Nikon had naught to do with this, although Kodak probably used a Nikkor lens.
