Review on Nikon D3100 DSLR Camera Body (Kit Box) - No Lens Included, International Version with No Warranty by Kio Park ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

The product is marketed by NIKON as being suitable for families because of its size, which is larger than that of soap dishes but smaller than those used in professional settings. The quality of the pictures is significantly higher than what was available on the "soap box" (this was the term that stuck, perhaps because of the characteristically fuzzy appearance of the images:). Do not be in a hurry to get rid of the soap dish; even after removing it, the D3100 will still be somewhat hefty (:). The video camera, however, was discarded by me some time ago (even when I bought a CANON IXUS 100 mini-camera with HD video). You should get a superior lens as soon as possible, my advice is. I purchased the body on my own (on the box, it stated that the kit included an 18-55 VR lens, but the firm evidently removes the lenses itself and sells them for a couple of dollars cheaper), as well as the 18-105 VR lens with a stabilizer. I would recommend it to anyone who does not have sufficient quality when photographing with soap dishes, as well as to anyone who, like me, once shot on ZENIT ET when it was the first digital SLR.

Pros
  • 1. It is compact and lightweight in comparison to earlier models. In comparison to "soap dishes," this weapon has a quick focus and a good rate of fire. 2. Video - 1080 lines, 24 frames per second. - normal. 3. When autofocus is activated, a nice feature that the focus points have is that red lights flash in the middle of them. 4. The screen is viewable from a variety of angles; for example, when shooting "overhead" in LiveView mode, everything is displayed in its entirety. It is not necessary to have a screen that can swivel. 5. Working at high ISO settings. Only when the image is magnified to a very high level can noise be seen.
Cons
  • 1. The device's size is ideal for use with a palm that is not very large (almost perfect for a woman). As a result, I use my left hand to handle the lens the majority of the time. 2. The video button is combined with the LiveView lever; because of its size, it is difficult to press through with your thumb, so you will need to use your fingernail instead. 3. There are no audible "clicks" associated with the movements of the control buttons and menus.
