For over two years, I have used this camera. During this period, it has shown to be an effective instrument for capturing high-quality images. Naturally, the bar has been raised and the criteria tightened. Therefore: One, the base ISO may be less. Okay, so maybe it's not perfect, but it's a great beginning. So, here's idea number two: I want to make the jump to full frame. Cropped lenses confuse me, and I can't figure out why. Nonetheless, I would not have grasped any of this without the d3100, thus I consider the purchase to have been a resounding success.
