I think the D300 (or D300S) offers the best value for photography out of any of the Nikon DX DSLRs. Here are affiliate links to where you can buy one. I get money for purchases made through them.

I feel a need to point out that the D7100, D7100 and D7200, As well as the Dx00 range have the advantage of being able to use AI-S lenses with focus confirmation and light metering.
Wow. Watching collecting old memories... Nice Review about all basic to advanced levels of Nikon Body. The Best Dx body : D40, D90 , D7200( Workhorse) & D500( Master of DX)
the d90 was the first and only dslr i had used and it was broken (manual with manual lenses only, no built in flash or most electronics). it was how i got into proper photography and i wish i could try it in full working order. my biggest problem was the lacking live view since i can't efficiently use the viewfinder with manual lenses.
I agree with most of this. I think for most people, they will be happiest with the newest camera their budget can handle. I had the D200 with a CCD sensor, and I really don't recommend most people bother with CCDs unless they want to experiment. At base ISO it did look nice, but they're not anything magical, and the terrible high ISO performance is really limiting for general photography. And of course, good advice stay away from anything that doesn't take an SD card.
My Nikon DXs: D40X for the CCD sensor, D3100 for full-spectrum, and D7000 for general stills use. I got a good price on all of them. I'm mostly a Canon shooter, and for those rare occasions when I think full-frame is required, I have a 5D. So no need for a full-frame Nikon.
The D3300 comes without the optical low-pass filter that was still in use up until the D3200, making it sharper. With respect to the D500, I think one needs to separate as to how good a camera it is and whether it is worth getting. In terms of the latter, I'm not so sure. The cheapest two D500 on eBay that ship to my country sell for over $500 and are at around 1.5x the rated shutter life. I don't consider that a particularly good deal for a camera that is now nine years old. Seems to me that anyone thinking about getting a D500 now is well advised to consider taking the plunge into mirrorless, unless they absolutely want a DSLR.

My first DSLR was the D70. Bought it new. It’s travelled the world and still works perfectly. Used in combo with my D7500 and Z50.
Your videos deserve more views. Keep up the good work.

Very nice reviews just brings back lots of memory. I cant agree more on D500 I still keep it and love it.
Wow. A whole lot of info here. Very fun to watch you sift through.
A high MP, DX with a full fame lens is the way to go, glass, glass, glass.

Re the D70 sticky rubber, I used silicone graphite spray (one a rag) and rubbed it. Takes the sticky off it.

Yes, your local market determines what's a good or bad deal.
Taking pics with your phone is the same thing as taking a phone call with your camera.

Love my D300. Still a capable camera in 2025......but it is rather old. Fortunately, not too expensive to buy.
That's why it's important to own multiple bodies. Easy situations get the older gear.
I use my D300, D700 and D3 with complete satisfaction.🏆🏆🏆
You've got the holy trinity of bodies!
