Whether you’re in the market for new or used Nikon gear or an established fan of the brand, here the best Nikon DSLR cameras ever made – from pioneering firsts to the latest cutting-edge models. Read on to discover how to choose the best Nikon DSLR for you, or just to celebrate the company’s proud heritage.
Nikon has been a constant in DSLR photography and the brand has become synonymous with the technology . From the late 1990s onwards, Nikon has been selling digital single-lens reflex cameras, or DSLRs for short, with its branding on them. Well before that, Nikon was a pioneer in 35mm film SLRs, introducing the Nikon F range in 1959.
Nikon F SLRs were used in the space program as a lighter alternative to Hasselblad equipment, and were favoured by some very famous professionals – Don McCullin’s Nikon F stopped a sniper’s bullet during the Vietnam War, for example, probably saving his life. That camera really did have a bulletproof build!
Coming right back up to date, the company is now concentrating its research and development on mirrorless cameras, like most of its rivals. Nikon DSLRs continue to perform well, and make a great used buy.
