Nikon Cameras

Updated October 2026

Nikon's D1 came out in 1999, and Nikon has been one of the main DSLR makers ever since. Its cameras have a reputation for solid handling, and the lens catalog goes back decades.

New Nikon development is in the Z series, a mirrorless system with full-frame and smaller DX models. Older F-mount DSLRs are plentiful used, and their lenses fit Z cameras with Nikon's FTZ adapter. Coolpix covers compacts and some superzooms with a startling amount of reach.

Wildlife and sports shooters have long been fans.
