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

In general, I am satisfied with the device. For the money, a digital sony alpha nex-5 would be a good alternative. Let not a mirror, but the matrix is ​​the same. Canon 550d costs 10 more expensive, it has only a motor in the device and a rotary screen. I don't see any other advantage in it. Different pros: good camera for a beginner. Before that there was a soap dish, I thought it would be impossible to take a photo through the viewfinder. Now, after using it for about two months, I realized that you can’t take a good photo through the screen, although there is a live view mode. A good battery, in warm weather holds a charge for a full day of use. I liked the acceptable amount of noise even at ISO1600. Compared to a soap dish, the color rendition is simply amazing. The colors are bright and saturated. Even in auto mode, the device takes excellent photos. With its cons. Among the shortcomings, I singled out a rather weak screen (on a canon 450 d it’s even better), I don’t really like the whale lens, sometimes there is not enough zoom. The lens is not particularly suitable for shooting macro images. I noticed that the lumix soap dish for 4500 catches the focus much closer =)
