Nikon D3100 SLR Camera
If you’re looking for a new Digital SLR that is feature filled, but with prices that won’t break the bank look no further than the Nikon D3100. The base price is set low enough that just about anyone can jump in and start taking amazing pictures and shooting high quality HD video. This is the one you want around your neck when it comes time to capture life’s fleeting moments that you don’t want to miss. And because it’s surprisingly light weight – just 1lb 1.6oz – you can carry it with you all the time.
In this review, I will attempt to highlight as many of the D3100′s amazing features as I can. This is no easy task, because there are so many great features to choose from.
The D3100 is designed to be super easy to use but still give you the feel of a professional Digital SLR. In fact, it will actually teach you how to take better pictures with its amazing feature called “Guide Mode”. It’s an In-Camera guidance system that actually shows you step by step how to change the camera’s settings to achieve a desired effect you’re going for. All you have to do is select the appropriate Guide Mode setting that matches what you are trying to do, and let the D3100 assist you. You’ll not only obtain your desired results, but you’ll understand what you did to achieve it.
The D3100 has a very large clear 3-in. LCD Live View monitor on the back that will allow you shoot as easily as you would a simple compact digital camera. This allows the beginning photographer to make a smooth transition to a more professional Digital Camera. The D3100 will even keep your subject in focus and will even recognize faces and stay focused on them with a feature called “Facepriority“.
Even though the D3100 has tons of built in features, one of the best reasons to use an SLR instead of a compact digital camera is to be able to use all the amazing external attachments that give you the freedom of creativity that you’d expect from a professional quality Digital SLR. You can attach all of the NIKKOR VR lenses to give you so many more options. The VR system is actually in the lens instead of in the camera like most compact digital cameras, so the D3100 can correct blur right inside the viewfinder. This allows you to focus on composing your shots, so you take better pictures.
The Nikon D3100 is one of the most feature rich Digital SLRs on the market today. The low base price, the large selection of lenses, flashes, and other attachments, as well as all of the fantastic internal features that actually help you take better pictures make this a no brainer.
