Nikon

Established in Japan, Nikon is a leading name in the imaging and optics industry. The company specializes in cameras, binoculars, and other optical instruments. Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless models are lauded for their robust build, optical quality, and reliable performance, catering to photographers of all levels.

As a professional photographer, I have used all sorts of cameras from many brands. But if I had to choose just one brand, it would be Nikon for their ease of use, great quality, durability, and the number of features you get for the value. They almost always lead the way in terms of optical zoom and megapixels and cost a fraction of the price of competitors.

For a personal camera, I also use Nikon and have done so for over twenty years. They are a fantastic brand with options at all price ranges. From great point-and-shoots to fantastic super-zoom compacts like the A900, to magnificent DSLRs, Nikon offers a camera for everyone at an amazing price, with class-leading features. Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena and one of the main characters of both the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series. She's also Percy Jackson's girlfriend and has no particular powers aside from her brains and tactics.

Not exactly Percy's sidekick, as suggested by the Golden Boy (I totally forgot how to spell his name) in The Mark of Athena. In the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, she's a bit moody but kind of makes up for it by The Battle of the Labyrinth and later.

She's sarcastic and funny at times, but usually, that's left to Percy (and later, Leo).

How is she not in the top 10?! She is the best female character in PJO and HOO, and most of the people above her are NOTHING compared to her. She is funny, smart, and brave. She literally fell into HELL and survived, part of the time weaponless, basically Hermione Granger except with a knife, not a wand.
