At last Nikon has a professional-level APS-C-format camera to replace the D300S and compete with Canon's EOS 7D Mk II. It's a fantastic DSLR that's packed with pro-spec features, including an impressive AF system and great low-light credentials that enable it to produce high-quality pictures in a wide range of conditions. A brilliant choice for the action and wildlife photographer.

One of the most advanced, feature-rich APS-C bodies we've tested. It comes at a nice price point and offers a compact shape, too.
