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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I contemplated it for a considerable amount of time, much like everyone else did, before asking the question, "Which is better for the first Canon 550d or Nikon d3100 DSLR?" I am aware of the benefits that come with using the d3100. To begin, the color reproduction is excellent, which is very important given that all of my close friends are obsessed with photography. You can obtain good images at an iso of 1600 or even 3200 with this camera; it handles noise quite well. Being a RAW photographer, I was very aware of this loss. Some also remark that it is unfortunate that the carcass (screwdriver) does not have a motor; however, you should not be concerned about this because there is now a vast range of lenses that contain an AF-S motor, and the vast majority of newly manufactured lenses include a focus motor. In general, the camera has earned my complete and utter satisfaction; I can say that because it lived up to all of my anticipations. If I make any changes to it, they will only apply to full-frame cameras.

Pros
  • Even in the evening when there is no lighting present, the autofocus is very swift and the bulb focuses relatively quickly. A very wide range of color scheme options, in addition to excellent color reproduction. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand, and although the control buttons are situated under both hands, I had no trouble getting used to them. There is a button labeled fn that can be programmed. The ISO 1600 standard is now fully functional. The video has a high level of quality, and if you shoot it with the tracking focus mode enabled, it will automatically focus on whatever is in the frame. The only drawback to this is that the noise made by the focus motor will be captured on video as well. The battery can store an average of more than 500 frames, and I was able to take between 650 and 700 shots (without using the flash), which is really impressive. It is possible to process images on the camera itself, both raw files and jpg files; believe me, it is quite convenient, especially when there is no computer in the immediate vicinity. And the pricing, which is the most crucial part!
Cons
  • There are drawbacks to everything, but the ones that come with this camera aren't particularly noteworthy and don't have an impact on the overall picture quality.
