For our photo class, students will be using any of the above 3 Nikon DSLRs. Fortunately, they are all very similar. The controls from one camera body to the other do the same functions.
The controls may be located in areas of the 3 camera bodies, but they perform the same functions.
The 3 camera bodies also use the same kind of battery and all of them use SD Secure Digital memory cards.
Before you can leave class with these cameras, you need to match the part in the columns below with the numbered parts on the diagram.
