Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I was choosing between the d90 and a couple more cameras from other manufacturers and this unit. Chose 3 months! I re-read the entire Internet, including foreign forums . I took the last one. Then I compared the pictures - the 90th behaves better in terms of noise. At 3100, the colors are warmer on the new OWN Nikon matrix. I advise everyone who takes fotik for the family. I talked with specialists in photography, their main idea is that the main thing is to be able to take pictures, and you…

Pros
  • in addition to what has already been said: 1) The build quality is on top (I have Thailand). In comparison with the Canon 500, 550 - heaven and earth - hold 2 devices in your hands and you will understand everything yourself (Nikon is also out of competition in terms of photo quality! - compared) 2) the video, although a bonus for the camera, but I liked it. I don’t need a video camera now, because I’m not going to shoot full-length films (as most people, I think), but for home video it’s more than enough, and given that you can play with depth of field in video, then you can shoot masterpieces, which is impossible to do with a regular video camera 3) small size and easy handling! This is a huge plus for a family camera - the wife is not afraid of him (imagine what I would hear if I bought a D90) 4) and of course pictures! It's expensive to watch!
Cons
  • I don’t use autofocus in video - it’s slow and often misses, while the noise from the motor on recording in a quiet room is terrible, but manual focusing is quite convenient - you decide what to focus on yourself. And so, there are NO shortcomings for a high-quality SLR camera for 21 (with all the guarantees of the PCT, Kit VR, Thailand), with the ability to shoot good (not excellent, but good) video and high quality photos - NO. The only thing I’m thinking about is a second lens . I’m leaning towards the Nikkor 35mm 1,8, which gives a classic fifty dollars on crop - you can shoot half-length portraits with it, and you don’t have to climb on the closet indoors to catch several people in the lens, and most importantly - lens speed :)

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

This is my first digital SLR, although it has been familiar with film for a long time, before that there was, as they are called, the Konika Minolta Z 3 pseudo-SLR. The device is not bad, it’s worth its money, although D 90 would have taken more of them, because there are a lot of Soviet optics with an H mount that fits it, but exposure metering does not work, sharpness by light bulb, I’ll say right away that you can talk about automatic mode forget, the soap box on the machine shoots better…

Pros
  • Price, weight.
Cons
  • Exposure metering on manual optics does not work, the size of the carcass is small, there are few hot buttons.

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

An amateur DSLR, that says it all. When switching from a soap box, I advise you to take a course of lectures on photography. You won’t be able to shoot in the Automatic mode, you can immediately forget about this mode and never return to it in your life. Immediately change the standard whale lens and never use it again. If you think that by buying this camera you will always get perfect shots, then this is not so, do not build illusions, this camera is educational in order to learn how to…

Pros
  • Compact, functional.
Cons
  • Very confusing menu, noise in low light. Standard lens. Poor rate of fire. Autofocus. Automatic mode.

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

I read the comments of others, but I bought it anyway and realized the following. After digital cameras, we just relaxed, and when a poor-quality picture is taken, the camera scolds, but we bought it with a mirror one. Guys, brains also need to be included, and not just a fotik. And for the price, some people want too many bells and whistles. When buying a camera with a budget of 25,000, it is very good.

Pros
  • Bought yesterday. Satisfied, just no words. It's hard to get used to a DSLR after the various digital ones I've had.
Cons
  • I haven't found it yet, and I hope I never will. About the lens cap, that there is no cord, I agree, you need to attach it somewhere if you start taking pictures.

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I didn’t write in merits that the quality of images, both during the day and at night, is wonderful, because Nikon cannot be otherwise !;) An excellent camera for beginners and for those who are in the tank, like me :))) Although the Canon 500D has bracketing, it does not have such a powerful hint that is so necessary for those who took a DSLR for the first time and want to take pictures not only in mode "auto". I advise! The quality outweighs the price. I bought for 22,900, as the sellers…

Pros
  • 1. 11-point focus (never missed focus) 2. Even with stock 18-55 vr good portraits 3. Guide (he is everywhere and everywhere, when something is not clear or when you change any settings - hints in the form of images and descriptions) 4. You can take pictures while recording video! 5. Ergonomics (appearance, convenience of forms, case materials) 6. When photographing, no "unnecessary" buttons fall under the fingers and do not interfere 7. The battery lasts a very long time 8. Cheap memory cards 9. Convenient and clear menu and camera control system.
Cons
  • 1. No cable to connect to PC 2. Timer 30 seconds before screen turns off when taking photos in Live View 3. No bracketing

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

Bought this beauty 2 years ago. I couldn't be happier, and I'm not the only one. The video is also decent for a camera, although I rarely shoot it. He is constantly with me and on vacation, and at work, and at home, and in the country. A true friend! I use three lenses: 18-105mm, 55-300mm and a 35mm f1.8 fix. Although the whale 18-55mm is also a decent optic for a beginner. If you haven't got a camera yet, I highly recommend it! You will not regret! Besides, the price for it today is simply…

Pros
  • Great device! Photos in all respects suit all my relatives and even absolutely all employees of our office, and this is about 60 people when I shoot at corporate parties and other events. Misses are not allowed! Works for 100%, if not 200%! Thanks to him!
Cons
  • Didn't reveal. Yes, for such money to look for flaws is just a shame.

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsatisfactory quality, I won't buy it anymore.

The main task of this device is to learn how to use a SLR camera and how it works. And of course, it will be determined WHETHER YOU NEED IT! 1) Either you continue to take pictures on a soap dish / iPhone, and this one will gather dust on a shelf. Although it is inexpensive, it is not a pity for the money spent. Second option: You will be fascinated by photography, you will begin to immerse yourself in this process more and more. Practice practice, study theory. And then you throw out this…

Pros
  • Price from scratch (with reservations. See below)
Cons
  • 1) Strong noises at iso more than 800-1600 2) Uncertain atofocus. The whale is still fine. And on fast lenses on an open hole, it smears the only way! Misses in half, and even in most of the frames. I do not advise beginners to use the whale lens itself: the desire to use a DSLR may disappear)) In many situations, the iPhone does this kit in terms of photo quality) Although 18-55 is not bad in principle, you can take it with you on a trip, it’s not a pity to kill it)

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I took a gray whale 18-55 vr, it turned out 50 bucks cheaper and the guarantee is only a year. Then I bought 55-200 vr. My first SLR. Absolutely satisfied with everything. Disadvantages are certainly present, but shooting conditions are rare are such that it can be seen. In extreme cases, you just have to spend a little more effort on some things, for example, instead of exposure bracketing, do HDRku programmatically from RAW or twist a polarizing filter manually after focusing. In short…

Pros
  • Price. Perhaps this is the best of the virtues. Video in Full HD - not every DSLR has such a function, however, some do not need it at all. The VR vibration reduction technology in the Kit lens is a very worthy thing. It was possible to shoot clear photos even at a shutter speed of more than 1/10. High ISOs work well, except for what I added to the shortcomings, fast and accurate focusing, ultrasonic sensor cleaning, Guide mode for beginners (you simply select the shooting conditions step by step, and the camera automatically selects the settings).
Cons
  • Compared to CCD matrices, colors still lose a little, although the developers claim the opposite. In the dark areas of the image at high ISO (3200+), the image is very noisy, this is noticeable at night photographs. The viewing screen does not rotate, it is especially inconvenient when you have to shoot from extremely low or high angles. Live View mode drains the battery a lot. When shooting video, an unpleasant Rolling Shutter effect occurs, which is inherent in all devices with a CMOS matrix, which is expressed by distortion when the camera moves quickly or removed objects. Along with the video, the unpleasant noise of the lens focusing motor is also recorded. Many people complain about the small screen, but I did not notice any particular inconvenience, the photo can be zoomed in to an incredible scale and the image will be clear, but the histogram will not tell you anything about losses in the picture. An 18-55 lens with a rotating front lens that makes it difficult to use some filters. There are no HDMI or USB cables in the kit, the disadvantage is small, maybe. I went to the market and bought a Chinese one for 30 UAH, but it's still unpleasant. The lack of a focusing motor in the body is no longer a drawback, there is a whole series of lenses with built-in motors, but there is no vibration suppressor in the body itself, I personally had to shoot in the direct focus of the telescope, without a lens, but this is probably also not significant, it’s very rare the phenomenon of doing it.

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

I see no reason to scold this camera for its low rate of fire, lack of bracketing and other goodies. Still, this is an amateur DSLR of the lower price segment with all its inherent features. And yes, I think that for its class the camera is great. A sort of indestructible workhorse that you can carry everywhere with you. Yes, with my requests, I would like to take an old professional camera, I really like to shoot exclusively in M. mode, I want a more rational arrangement of controls and a…

Pros
  • In fact, I liked absolutely everything. 1) Good assembly without squeaks and backlash. The rubber bands sit like a glove for me personally. 2) The camera visited different cities and wild conditions, at sea, in the studio and many more places. No fatal problems and glitches were found. 3) Everything that the whale lens could not give me was more than compensated by the 50mm 1.8 fix 4) Light weight and small size. 5) Standard size matrix like all crops. I’ll tell you a secret (and let marketers hang themselves), this means that in unhurried studio conditions with good optics on the d3100 you can get a picture no worse than on the d300s or d7100. 6) Price.
Cons
  • In fact, real trifles, but I consider it necessary to identify them. 1) I did not like the weak correction of vision in the eyepiece. With my minus 2, shooting without glasses is not very convenient. 2) The built-in screen has a low resolution, and this sometimes really prevents you from immediately evaluating the footage, even if you look at it with an approximation. It is the screen that I can thank for a decent percentage of overexposure of photos in manual mode. Although for those who will use the camera in the car - this is not a problem at all. 3) For a year, I never learned how to blindly find the aperture control button. Sometimes this needs to be done very quickly, and IMHO, the system is made in a stupid way. A little missing is the second wheel that prof. cameras. But this is already a nitpick, you can’t criticize an amateur camera for the absence of prof. functions.

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

A very good camera, when I bought it, I thought that it wasn’t really that good, but now I understand that it’s just perfection, the photos are high-quality, clear, it chooses the mode itself, the focus is hurt, my friend has a camera two classes higher than our D3100, and he has a D5100, I can say with full confidence that his camera is not a bit better, except for bringing it closer, and if you choose a camera for that kind of money, then I advise this one and don’t think about it

Pros
  • Good focus, easy, easy to use, the quality of the photos is just excellent, all the modes are very well tuned, everything is clear and understandable and not a miracle at all, but a camera
Cons
  • No

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

I have had this camera for more than two years. During this time, it has established itself as a reliable tool for taking good pictures. Of course, now the requirements have increased. Therefore: 1. The minimum ISO could be smaller. But for a start, this is excellent) Yes, and for that kind of money you can’t wish otherwise. 2. I plan to switch to full frame. I don't know what to do with cropped lenses. But without the d3100, I would not have understood all this, so I consider the purchase

Pros
  • Of course, the manufacturer. The menu is amazingly clear. Camera price. Reliability of work. The presence of video shooting capabilities. Surprisingly, it came in handy)
Cons
  • What are you dissatisfied with? The lack of a "screwdriver". This is perhaps the only weighty argument to refuse to buy this camera. However, when buying such subtleties, I did not know.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

I bought it for myself as a beginner mirror-maker. I climbed on the Internet, I realized that it was just the right thing. So far, I don’t regret it, the pictures are normal, the battery lasts long enough. cords, blends, etc. are included in the kit). My nephew and niece also turned out to be like that and they don’t regret it either. I’m not a pro, so about all sorts of aberrations, etc. I won’t write, everything’s working out fine for me. I just have a lot to learn. Some just want to buy and…

Pros
  • Not expensive DSLR, everything is in 2022
Cons
  • I haven’t revealed it yet, or maybe I just don’t notice it yet (I still have a teapot on SLRs)

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

I am very satisfied with the purchase. I mastered the camera literally in two or three days (the settings and the in-camera menu - there are tips everywhere) before that I shot on the zenith and a Pentax soap box. While I’m shooting on an 18-105 whale lens, it also has its drawbacks, but there are also advantages, but I already feel that I will acquire fixes) the whale lens lacks sharpness and not that bokeh.

Pros
  • Excellent price-quality ratio. Light weight and size, easy handling (pictures are excellent even in the machine) excellent quality at high ISO values ​​​​(photos are quite normal even at ISO 1600). An accessible and understandable menu, there is in-camera RAW processing and a lot of filters. Noise canceling and D-Lighting work well. The video recording is pretty good quality.
Cons
  • The white balance does not always work correctly (when working indoors with incandescent lamps or daylight), but it's not so scary - it's easy to correct directly in the camera or in the processing program, and the problem disappears if you set it manually before work. Relatively low burst shooting speed (3 fps). No exposure bracketing, no other types of bracketing.

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

I bought a 50mm fast fix, a tripod . so far this set is enough. the fast lens is very pleasing, whale lenses are of course a bit dark. I am very happy with the purchase . the first DSLR, before buying I read the materiel from the photo, until I see no reason to change the device . everyone is happy and by the way . I don’t see the point of overpaying for the d5100 I don’t want to write about comparisons of canon nikon . everyone chooses the system himself. Ask what cameras your friends…

Pros
  • -design, fits perfectly in the hand (in medium and small) - Compared to the 1100D, the rubberized handle is much more comfortable. - Long battery life and fast charging -price quality functionality - the optimal ratio in this device -many kit configuration options (took with glass 18-105)
Cons
  • inability to connect a wireless remote control a bit small and light for a big hand (well, everything is relative here)

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

A full-fledged DSLR for its price, which, in principle, can do everything the same as older brothers. Perhaps it does not have some cool features when compared with more expensive cameras. But it fulfills its price more than completely! For a beginner, this is the best option for the money, it will help you understand what you need and in which direction to move on.

Pros
  • 1. Price. In April 2022, I took a used one for 10 thousand, in almost new condition. 2. Reliability and workmanship. For a year and a half of use, the camera never let me down, although the operation was sometimes quite tough. Temperatures from -40 to +40, rain, snow, it withstands all tests more than adequately. 3. Convenience and ease of use. For complete beginners, a guide mode is provided, where everything is shown in detail. There are also Landscape, Portrait, Macro and etc. Personally, it took me about 30 minutes to completely get used to it and start shooting, the menu is simple and there are no complicated settings. 4. Weight and dimensions. Really light, and the body itself does not take up much space in the bag, even with a whale lens. 5. Excellent autonomy. It can withstand more than 500 frames on a single charge, I charge it once every couple of weeks) With a batblock, I think it will last 900 frames calmly. 6. Image quality and RAW format. Even with a whale lens, the camera shows good image quality. Of course, you should not expect excellent results from him at high ISO, but in normal light everything is very good. And if anything - there is a RAW format that forgives many beginner mistakes. 7 Video. I use it extremely rarely, it is not the coolest, but the very presence of this function in such a cheap DSLR pleases.
Cons
  • 1. Burst speed and small frame buffer. I wish it was a little faster. Well, the frame buffer is small, sometimes because of this, the camera does not allow the next frame to be taken for a long time when shooting in a series. 2. Screen. It's good, but the picture quality is sometimes lacking. 3. Dynamic range and RAW format. RAW is still cut here, so it does not always stretch well. At ISO 400, noticeable noise already appears. 4. Viewfinder. Small, frame coverage is not full, dark. Everything described here is more features than disadvantages. After all, the camera is the most entry-level.

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

For a long time I wanted a DSLR, I decided on the simplest one. The price was right, I read on the forums that for an amateur and home photography - an excellent device, even with a stock Kit lens. I ordered it at Pixel24, they had the best price for it and delivery to the regions. I have been using it for three months, I didn’t understand the intricacies of shooting on SLR cameras, I put it on a car and use it. This mode does the job just fine. 80% of photos are successful. With a Sony soap…

Pros
  • High quality, affordable, easy to understand
Cons
  • In my opinion, like all lards - size, weight

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

I have been using it occasionally for many years. Ideally, take a picture in rough format and mount it in a liter. He added an accessible element of creativity to his life. Great hobby accompanying social networks, computer and real life. There is a reason to get out into nature, learns to see the beautiful. I bought a larger 105 lens and am happy with the choice.

Pros
  • Price A sharp improvement in photos relative to phones and soap dishes Training mode in 2022 for the basics of a mirror device Material quality Durability without breakage with careful use for many years
Cons
  • Bad screen, no wifi

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

I bought the device on credit. Satisfied. Not a bad DSLR with a whale lens. You won't find anything better for this money. I chose between the Canon d1100 and Nikon d3100 for a long time and, after reading many reviews, I settled on Nikon. The whale lens is perfect for landscape photography, but for now I don't need anything. Later bought a tripod. For those who do not want to professionally engage in photography, no longer needed.

Pros
  • Price, quality, lightweight, easy to handle.
Cons
  • The lack of exposure bracketing, although this is already nit-picking.

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

I do not agree with those who write that the camera is ultra-light . Still, after an hour of dragging around the neck, there is some discomfort, because the camera weighs more than a kilogram with the lens. Photos are excellent in any conditions. ISO is quite working up to 6400. Then noticeable noises begin, but they are not so terrible. A kit lens is fine for beginners. Yes, it's a bit dark, but the background blurs decently and everything is ok at the focus points with sharpness. The build…

Pros
  • - Small size; - Great pictures; - Attractive price; - Long operating time from a single battery charge; - Good lens included; - Guide mode for lamers.
Cons
  • - Pinched any cables. They are not included in the kit at all. Generally!

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

For a long time I chose which camera to choose, looked at both Nikon and Canon. As a result, I settled on this unit, based on the price offer and functionality. Very convenient, well-assembled, quite compact (as for a DSLR) camera. Never been disappointed with a purchase. Everything is great: image quality, ease of use, battery, equipment, speed. Everything is on top, better in this price you will not find! Thanks a lot)

Pros
  • Small dimensions, build quality, equipment, battery life, the best price-quality ratio.
Cons
  • Haven't found it yet.
