Nikon D3100

Nikon D3100 Review Firstly I would like to say that I am not a camera expert and that this review is based entirely upon my own experience of this camera rather than an extensive knowledge of photography and cameras. Unfortunately my knowledge of cameras is fairly limited. This review would therefore only suit someone as a starting point for researching this camera rather than an all-encompassing one stop review that will give you everything you need to know and more about the camera in question. Baring that in mind I will now tell you what I think of the camera and how it came to be that a ... more

Nikon D3100 SLR digital camera~~Basics~~We have owned this camera for about 1 year and have been more than happy with the ease of use, picture quality and general durability. The camera came with a rechargeable battery pack and holds its charge for 4 to 5 hours of constant use. The USB, HDMI and AV connecters are easily accessible on the body and are protected by a rubber flap. The Nikon D3100 is a single lens reflex (SLR) digital camera. The camera body did not come with a lens. We have a couple of lenses and find we use an 18-70mm Nikon lens most of the time. We paid around £400 for the ... more

OVERVIEW In my opinion, a very good beginners DSLR camera which comes with many features. With 14.2 megapixels, a high quality output can be achieved. Although this camera provides all the features expected of a DSLR camera, it is fairly light for its size which means that it is not heavy to carry around if you are out walking for the day. The camera has a comfortable grip and you can also get a strap to place around your neck meaning that transportation of the camera is easy.

What I found most helpful as a beginner was the guide feature that this camera has. It has a step by step guide to get a certain type of picture and through this I started learn how to use the manual option that it has as well. To me the pictures were a lot better than any normal point and shoot camera, but there is much better out there. It just depends on how much money you want to spend. I thought this is the ... more

From the very first minutes I liked this camera. Lightweight, relatively small, easy to use. It has digital camera modes such as: no flash, daylight, nature, macro, children, etc. or Auto. You can also find a manual control. Relatively long battery life is one of the advantages of this camera. It shots 500 photos without need to charge. And the charger included with this camera is quite normal. In this case the camera is charged after 1.5-2h. The camera uses a 14.2 CMOS light sensor. The camera can record video clips - 1080p24, 424p24, and with 720p30/25/24 parameters. AF system is inherited ... more
