Film cameras are a thing of the past, and even now they seem to be the same rarities as the VCR and cassette player. Digital technology has carved out its niche in the market, but the question of brand is still burning.
One of the most competitive is Nikon's photographic equipment, which has its advantages and disadvantages compared to other brands. The pros and cons of the brand are worth considering separately.
What is the advantage of Nikon photography equipment?
The very first and most important plus is the use of excellent materials for the manufacture of cameras. The fact that your camera will not creak during use, there will be no backlash, scuffs from the slightest touch, suggests that it can be used for quite a long time … until you get bored and want to buy a new product.
Those for whom the operating time is relevant - and these are, as a rule, tourists, travelers, correspondents - Nikon will please with a rather capacious battery. Even if you play it safe and buy a spare, it will not come in handy as soon as you expect.
Nikon cameras are easy to operate and comfortable to use. In any case, there is nothing to blame the specialists who develop ergonomics. The body of the camera does not slip in the hand, it is convenient to carry it around the neck and in a bag. Most models are equipped with a mini-screen, which allows you to choose the most appropriate angle for the picture. Often, users note a bright viewfinder, which is inconvenient. Thanks to a good build, this can have a significant impact on photography.
Disadvantages of Nikon digital cameras
Compared to other brands, Nikon cameras are not very cheap. Moreover, in this case, there is an overpayment not so much for quality as for the brand. On the other hand, paying for a brand means you will get a good product anyway. Nikon digital cameras often have mediocre video quality. On the one hand, it is clear - the device is not positioned as for video shooting; on the other hand, you always want something more.
As for night shooting, it depends on the specific model. Some cameras are designed for the fact that you will photograph at night, and are equipped with not only flash and autofocus, but also a special image stabilizer. Budget cameras allow you to take pictures at night, but the likelihood of encountering noise on them is very high.
The choice is up to the buyer. The first thing you should pay attention to is the presence of modes that you may need (portrait shooting, autofocus, continuous shooting, etc.).
