It has basic controls and a small body, but will the Nikon S1 appeal to beginner-level CSC buyers? We put it through its paces.

Updated Nikon's 24.1MP D5200 is aimed at new photographers who want to get more creative but also keep things simple.

A new sensor with no low-pass filter should mean Nikon's latest enthusiast-level DSLR captures sharper detail than the average 24MP SLR.

Nikon's J3 is the smallest compact system camera the company has ever produced, but what kind of results can it deliver?

Has Nikon done enough to its top-end CSC to make it a hit?

It may be smaller than the D300S, but the Nikon D600 has a full-frame sensor and our lab results show its pretty darn good.

Nikon has seen great success with its Nikon 1 J1. Now less than a year on we've got the upgrade in the shape of the J2. How does it measure up?

Updated A CSC like the J1, but with an electronic viewfinder and higher resolution screen

Updated It's the camera we've been talking about for the last couple of years and its been topping the sales charts.

Updated Nikon had great successes with its entry-level D3100. Can it build on those fortunes with the D3200, which is to sit alongside of, instead of replacing, its predecessor?

Updated This camera has the same sensor and processor as the Nikon D7000, but has an articulated LCD and costs less. How does it perform?

Updated It's turned a lot of heads, but we look behind the headlines to see if it delivers the image quality we expect.

Nikon's D3s has a great reputation among pro photographers, so the D4 that replaces it has a lot to live up to. Does it succeed?

Updated Full specs, price, sample photos and more. Is the camera many believe to be the Nikon D90 replacement worthy of the crown?

Updated Nikon's 14.2MP D3100 boasts Live View, HD movies and a wide ISO range

The D3s offers the ultimate in performance, build and image quality

Probably the most beginner-friendly DSLR on the market

The latest 12 megapixel snapper from Nikon

The D5000 is intended to bridge the gap between the popular but feature-thin entry level D60 and (now discontinued) D40, and the mid-range D90. Like the latter, it offers a HD video recording mode, and in fact shares the same 12 million-pixel sensor, and AF, white balance and metering systems.

The replacement to Nikon's popular D80 has been a long coming. TechRadar was at the UK launch to bring you a hands-on preview of this much-anticipated model.

Nikon has been making top flight SLR cameras since the 1950s, but its newest model – the D700 – promises to appeal to enthusiasts and advanced amateurs as well as professionals.

The D60 is Nikon's new 10-megapixel entry-level digital SLR. It takes over from the D40x and, outwardly, it's very similar. Under the skin, though, there are some significant improvements. For a start, the D60 gets a new dust-removal system, in line with most other digital SLRs on the market.

The Nikon D200 was a truly great camera that offered professional performance at an enthusiast's price. Even now, its 10-megapixel CCD sensor can easily hold its own compared with similarly-priced rivals, and the robust build quality was - and still is - out of this world.

Here's an interesting fact to mull over. The Canon EOS 1Ds Mk III will sell for £6,000, body only. For that, you can get a D3 body, one of the brand-new Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 N-series lenses and Nikon's fabulous 14-24mm N-series wide-angle zoom.

The Nikon D40x is neither an upgrade for the 6-megapixel D40 model, nor a replacement for the D80. Instead, it sits slightly uncomfortably between the two models, further expanding Nikon's range of budget and enthusiast SLRs
