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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

A full-featured DSLR for the price that, in theory, can do all functions the same as more expensive models. As compared to more expensive cameras, it could not have certain cool features. Yet it more than lives up to its price! This is the most cost-effective choice for a novice because it will assist you in determining what you need and how to proceed.

Pros
  • 1. Price. I purchased a used one for 10,000 in April 2022 that was nearly brand new. 2. Dependability and craftsmanship The camera never failed me during my year and a half of use, even if the operation was occasionally very difficult. It withstands all tests with flying colors, withstanding temperatures between -40 and +40, rain, and snow. 3. Usability and convenience. A guide mode is offered for total beginners, where everything is explained in depth. Landscape, portrait, macro, and other options are also available. The menu is straightforward, and there are no challenging settings. For me, it took about 30 minutes to fully adjust and begin shooting. 4. Dimensions and weight. Very compact, even with a big lens, and the body itself doesn't take up much room in the suitcase. 5. Excellent independence. It has a battery life of over 500 frames per charge; I charge it once every two weeks.) With a batblock, I predict that it will last 900 frames without incident. 6. RAW format and image quality. The camera produces high-quality images even with a whale lens. Naturally, you shouldn't anticipate him to provide outstanding results at high ISO, but in regular lighting, everything is excellent. If anything, the RAW format is forgiving of many rookie errors. 7 Video. Even though I don't use it very often and it's not the greatest feature, having it in such a cheap DSLR is nice.
Cons
  • 1. Fast bursts and a small frame buffer That could be a little quicker, though. Because the frame buffer is limited, the camera may occasionally delay taking the next frame in a series for an extended period of time. 2. Display. Although it's nice, the visual quality is occasionally subpar. 3. The RAW format and dynamic range. It does not usually stretch nicely because RAW is still chopped here. Noise can already be seen at ISO 400. 4. A lookthrough. Tiny, with partial frame coverage, and dark. Everything that has been said has more advantages than drawbacks. The camera is, after all, the most basic.
