Simple controls, friendly design and a tiny size make the Nikon Coolpix S220 a great choice for summer snaps.

A great combination of new features and the usual Nikon image and build quality make this a superb camera.

A good camera but not the most inspiring. There’s better value elsewhere.

The aggressive price and Nikon design know-how mean there’s still a place for the D40

The market for slimline touchscreen cameras is heating up. Nikon's S60 is almost button-less and has a large 3.5in screen for showing off your snaps - but how does it shape up to Sony's classy DSC-T77.

Forget budget DSLR, this is for serious photography. Extravagant in almost every way, the D700 is superbly responsive and produces stunning images

A sterling budget DSLR with a great range of controls and superb high ISO performance

Forget the low-ish pixel-count, this camera has the lot: handling, features and image quality. Add that to the high-powered battery, good for a claimed 2000 shots, and you have a real belter

A true pro camera that slots in nicely between the flagship Canons

The S51c combines good looks, neat technology and quality images in one reasonably affordable package

Still a great looking camera that's foolproof to use, but Wi-Fi's now only half the feature it was

An ideal companion for a DSLR, this is a compact for the photography enthusiast rather than the happy snapper

An older Nikon wireless camera, that in its day was a superb 8-megapixel camera in its own right. Small, smart and destined for greatness

The new Nikon D90, due to hit shelves in September, boasts unique 720p movie HD capabilities, a much improved sensor and surprisingly, a GPS option.

An expensive camera, but one offering superb image quality, features and handling

A superb DSLR that’s a joy to use, but the high price and poor software damage value

An ideal first DSLR thanks to onscreen help. It takes great shots and the battery lasts for ages.

Good performance and handling, low price and far better quality than any digital compact.

More expensive than its direct competition, but thanks to its brilliant features the D80 is money well spent.

A very slim digital compact that’s capable of taking superb pictures. It only just misses out on a Recommended award.
