Design feels cramped
Some design aspects not intuitive
Compact styling means the controls are a bit cramped for big hands. Only threepoint autofocus system. Manual shooting a bit ungainly. Just three framespersecond in continuous shooting mode.Camera Resolution

Very similar to the older Nikon D40x. Specs are below average when compared with the competition. Slow three-point autofocus.
No image stabiliser or Live View
Review stays on too long
Only three focus points
No auto-focus with certain lenses
Some settings require too many button presses
Anti-dust system not infallible
Basic 3-point AF and no DOF preview.
No lens motor in body means non-AF-S/AF-I lenses are manual focus only
Disappointingly RAW+JPEG setting only records Basic quality JPEGs
Default settings a little on the soft side at a pixel level
High ISO performance good
but not as good as best in c...
Pricey for what it offers
lens-based image stabilization is less flexible than sensor-shift offered by some competitors.
