Advantages: Ease of use, features

Disadvantages: Heavy and pricey

My brother-in-law suggested I go for this when I first mentioned to him that I was after a new Digital SLR, and for this, I am eternally grateful to him.

I originally bought this for me as I'm the one into photography but it is so good, and easy to use, that my husband now uses it even more than me!

I would recommend this to both serious photographers and complete amateurs alike. It has all the features that a professional photographer may require but is so easy to use that anyone can take fantastic pictures even with no prior formal photographic training.

There are only two downsides that I feel I have to point out in order to give an honest review. Firstly, that this is definately not the lightest camera in it's class. Secondly, the cost. The body itself is pretty pricey, and any additional NIKON accessories or lens will also set you back. That said, having owned one for almost 2 years, I would definately buy this again knowing what I know about it.

Summary: Benefits definately outweigh the negatives, I would buy it again
