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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good and high-quality product, but there are disadvantages.

If you're serious about photography, though, you should save up for the d7000 and not buy this camera. I made a terrible error in judgment by not waiting the recommended three months before making a purchase. Put your whale optics on the rack. I invested in a 50mm af-s 1.4 lens, and the results are whale-sized. There are other 2x and 3x teleconverters, as well as the exceptionally sharp Helios 81N portrait lens and the Kaleinar 5N (which I stopped using after purchasing a 50mm) (useful when you need a telephoto). A simple method that may be used for teen portraits, family pictures, or even just for you.

Pros
  • First, among cameras in this price range, this is your best bet; as you well know, the d3100 is superior to the d3000, while the d3200 suffers due to its high megapixel count and small sensor. Nikon's whale optics are superior to those of competing brands, making whale-equipped cameras (I went with an 18-55mm) perfectly suitable for use when photographing wildlife and landscapes on vacation. Thirdly, it's manageable and simple to use. Nothing broke or peeled off in the course of the year, and there were no breakdowns. This camera is now available at an extremely reasonable price.:D Capture video as a sixth advantage (although there is no way to set it up properly, but still). The battery's ability to maintain a charge for a long time is the seventh impressive feature.
Cons
  • One of the merits is not the light weight. The camera can't hold a candle to a whale, even if it's the same size. Taking a DSLR with you on a trip thinking it will be easier than a pocket camera is more than just a little bit silly. 2.Noise above ISO800. Shooting without a tripod and a fast lens at night will result in a noticeable drop in image quality. Third, whether you like to admit it or not, whale optics are just soap. It's challenging to take good portrait photos, and macro photography isn't very inspiring either. The built-in flash does nothing but ruin the photos. There must be an outside purchase. 5. The gadget itself doesn't have autofocus. Not everyone can afford to pay 1.5-2 times as much for lenses. In addition, the stabilizer in most lenses is terrible. Ignoring it is less of a hassle when you're actually shooting. Good only for TVs. There is a 10-minute time cap on video recordings. 8. No way to plug in a wireless microphone or controller. The screen quality is terrible. After reading the customer reviews, I made the purchase with the assumption that this detail would not bother me. So, trust me when I say that this is a major drawback. It's impossible to see the benefits and drawbacks of a shot at first glance, and when editing, it's common to ask why something wasn't fixed. Unlike the d7000 and d90, there isn't a second screen.
