There are two big players in the DSLR market: Canon and Nikon. These two titans compete for the hearts and minds of pros and amateurs alike, and each company puts out excellent cameras year after year. While it has frequently played second fiddle in sales, Nikon has always impressed us with its broad range of DSLRs—from the mighty D4S to the lowly D3300.
Our camera experts have spent countless hours in the lab, poring over images and test data to determine which Nikon DSLRs offer the best value proposition for the most shooters. Our top pick is the Nikon D500 (available at Amazon) but we have a whole list of Nikon recommendations here. So if you're looking for gorgeous images and high-quality video, take a look at our breakdown.
