My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

In comparison with his brother d3000, the ease of use has become better. But garlic - I chose the d3000 from the same pricing policy as a beginner, it is lighter in weight, and the image quality is a couple of milligrams better (-: Total: for fans to shout about Canon and Nikon - in the same price policy nikon d3100 and canon 1000d whales - clearly lose nikon d3000 kit. this is IMHO. Chao

Pros
  • Unlike its brother d3000, you can use the LCD display to take pictures. In addition, the video recording is of excellent quality! The new matrix uses much less energy, but makes noise if it is very hard to strain it (there is a slight difference in ccd and cmos matrices). And of course, more megapixels is for those who want to print A2 + photo size. Personally, I do not need this innovation
Cons
  • The disadvantages for me personally are the difference in the ccd and cmos matrices. I still prefer the ccd matrix. And if about the size - his brother d3000 has a slightly larger matrix, and therefore a slightly better image quality.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

The camera is excellent, many moments of my life are captured clearly, brightly, juicy, artistically, etc. etc. Bought 5 years ago, never failed or disappointed. Of course, I would like to saddle a full frame, but the price! November 2022 Nikon d610 body 95 thousand, expensive! And I don’t see the point in changing crop to crop, even if it’s advanced. I use with Nikkor 55-200 and my favorite Nikkor 35mm 1.8G. The second perfect kit for Nikon crops, permanently screwed into the carcass. I shoot…

Pros
  • 1. Price 2. Excellent shots in good and normal lighting, during the day it’s a fairy tale 3. Management after some communication with the camera quickly reaches automatism 4. A wide range and constant availability of lenses and accessories on sale 4. Durable and light enough construction. Several times fell and pah-pah livelier than all the living. Used in almost all conditions except underwater shooting 5. For an amateur photo, I see no reason to overpay
Cons
  • 1. A small number of focus points, it is sometimes desirable to slightly shift the focus point by a centimeter, but no way! 2. In low light, it's terribly noisy even with an f1.8 lens 3. Lack of infrared port, wireless is cheap not to buy 4. The charger in the kit began to fail after a year (maybe only me, I don’t know) 5. With the same camera settings and under the same lighting, shooting in Live View mode, the photo is often blurry, the shutter is much slower, and the shutter speed is greatly increased. I don’t know what this is connected with, but at the moment when you need a screen when shooting, unfortunately it disappears 6. Another bun-chip: in manual mode, iso goes into automatic mode, even if you set it to manual, it's funny! Why? I searched for the answer in the open spaces of the network and found it. In the Menu item, you need to remove the autoiso separately.

Return my money! Disgusting product and poor quality.

To begin with, the photos on this miracle are obtained with a predominance of blue, the machine rarely makes mistakes, but still the best quality photos are obtained on manual settings and on good lenses. Their vaunted charger broke exactly one year later, despite being used according to the instructions. In the internet, many write about the problem of this memory. And it broke down on the road (but during the warranty period), as a result, the photo session failed, and there were no service…

Pros
  • not a soap dish
Cons
  • quality

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

The goal was to take pictures of how my son grows, his walks, trips on vacation, and sometimes I wanted to use the video (to blow out a candle on a birthday cake, for example). If possible - additionally pleasant landscapes of the native city during walks. For more than a month I studied reviews and characteristics of DSLRs of the lowest price category, their availability in stores in my city. This device deservedly took the first line in the ratio of price-functionality-characteristics…

Pros
  • 1. Decent whale lens, great shots when used properly 2. Good rate of fire 3. The presence of picture control - a great opportunity to significantly reduce the processing time on the computer when using the portrait mode, switching to landscape - the ability to take high-definition photos. 4. The presence of video (for me it’s possible and not fullHD) is a nice bonus 5. Good build quality 6. A rich menu of photo processing directly in the camera, including cropping, alignment, filtering, D-lighting
Cons
  • 1. Autofocus noise when shooting video (eliminated by switching to manual focus) 2. I would like a second fn button (I often need to change both iso and photo size), although this is already nit-picking.

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

I didn’t understand how to make the flash make ONE impulse - children and animals sometimes (often) manage to close their eyes before the main flash . After CANON 450d I get used to turning the zoom in the opposite direction. I bought the device, because. we are going to go to Thailand, there was not enough money for "D90 17-105". So far I have not been disappointed - everything works, a lot of settings and a lot of processing and effects functions. Really hysterical. The video is frustrating…

Pros
  • Small DSLR for beginners and for travel. Many settings and many photo processing options right in the device. low noise matrix, good dynamic range, color depth
Cons
  • TRIAL included. Video - did not like. Buttons that are not visible are sometimes confused - instead of Fn, I often press the flash activation. The LCD screen in the light is not visible AT ALL. When shooting through the viewfinder, the LCD does not turn off and shines into the eye. Lens 17-55 without a stub (caught) and NOISY - focus on video only with your hands .

I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

I bought the camera in mid-March. Since autumn, I have been choosing an excellent SLR. At first, my choice was the Sony A450, but it's just nowhere to be found) Many advised Nikon, I decided to take the D3000 first, but then I found out about the D3100, which turned out to be much better, I took it and I almost don't regret it) The camera is just great, I shoot most often in the "S" mode, changing the shutter speed, because. automatic modes are stupid, white balance misses. The guide did…

Pros
  • Excellent color reproduction Automatic modes are even more or less acceptable Light Fits perfectly in the hand The whale lens is quite good (only the focal length is not enough after all) Convenient location of control buttons Battery lasts quite a long time Clear menu Convenient photo editor Video shoots great rapid fire
Cons
  • Cannot connect an external microphone when recording video The whale is good, but the focal length is not enough White balance is sometimes dull The flash is not powerful enough Small diopter values ​​(I have -1.5 on my left eye, and I direct it to the viewfinder) It is better to set autofocus so that you can change the focus point with the buttons, because. he still misses

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

A wonderful camera, I recently acquired it and I can't get enough of it! The size, which for some is a disadvantage, for me turned out to be a virtue. In my (female) hand, the device fits like a glove, here I also attribute lightness. Convenient, intuitive menu. Excellent image quality, with appropriate settings, of course. Earlier they wrote that the battery runs out quickly in the video shooting mode . I arranged for him to test. Of course, this is not a video camera after all, but with the…

Pros
  • Image quality Ease of menu and use GUIDE mode (hints) Lightweight and compact (compared to other DSLRs) The ability to record video and the quality of videos. Price
Cons
  • Lack of a cable to connect to a computer (not important for me, because the cable was already there)

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

The camera, or rather, its purchase at first disappointed. To make more or less normal pictures I changed the glass - 50, 1.8. I bought an SB-600 flash, figured out Lightroom, figured out Epson-805 and Oh! Miracle! In a month or two smooth ducklings turned into swans. It took a couple of months, constant study of literature and smart articles . But I think there is still a lot to learn and understand. Good luck to all!

Pros
  • There are all the necessary functions for a DSLR, albeit in a modest form. Nothing dangles, although many write about covers. Lightweight, comfortable body. Intuitive menu. Detailed instructions.
Cons
  • At such a price, talking about shortcomings is a bad form)) But I will say one thing. Very dark whale lens. Really shoot only during the day on the street, and better in the summer)).

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

first mirror. range of use - photo shoots for friends, concerts, travel, subject photography of their jewelry. Bought complete with kit 18-105. I saved on the carcass, got a decent lens, arguing that a good lens will remain for a long time, and the carcass, if I take a close look at photography, will still need to be changed. I clicked about four thousand frames in two months from the purchase. Despite everything, I am satisfied with my kit, having exhausted the 3100 carcass, I will save up for

Pros
  • Kit price. I got it for 15 kopecks along with glass 18-105. I don’t feel sorry for the money at all, with its shortcomings it has a bunch of advantages and, most importantly, the difference between pictures and even good soap dishes in a positive way. Compactness - in a relatively small bag I fit almost the entire box set, a carcass with a lens, an additional Helios 44-2 lens, flash drives, rags, and even small props for shooting plus personal items (phone, tablet, cigarettes, keys), and a bag - something only 30x20x20 cm, a tripod is also hung on top of it. Guide for beginners. The instruction manual is gathering dust at home, the guide is its analogue and even better. I don’t shoot in auto modes, but at first I was looking for tips on exposure and focusing. everything is exposed with a bang" A set of tools for processing "on the spot". used D-liting, bw, crop. There are still a huge number of tools that will come in handy for filter lovers, but I'm used to post-processing on the monitor. Ergonomics is very pleasing, it sits in my hand, I almost blindly set the parameters, I assigned ISO to the function button, the menu remembers the last item used - usually it's white balance, so the camera is set up in 10-20 seconds.
Cons
  • Firstly, I noticed that the screen is lying, or I have trouble calibrating my home monitor. The first photo session in the sun came out completely illuminated, I had to "draw" on the most successful shots, because it's a pity. On the screen, when magnified, it looked acceptable, the monitor showed a lot of nasty things. I don’t know what to calibrate and how to do it in the case of a camera screen. Secondly, the concerts lack light and speed. I twist the aperture to the maximum, turn it up to 800 iso (it’s no longer possible because of the noise), if there is not enough light (this happens most often), I have to slow down the shutter speed and the musicians’ arms and legs begin to smear. Because of the objects in motion, the tripod does not help, I am waiting for the ordered puff, I really hope that I will solve this problem. Thirdly, this video. Focus smears, even when you show him the focus point on the screen, the sound is disgusting and you can’t wind up the microphone. For video, this DSLR can not be used in any way, Fourthly, in live view mode, the focus is not famous at all, if you shoot from above, only the silhouette is visible on the screen at an angle, and it is difficult to judge how blurry it is. I would add a rotary screen to it, I regret that I did not accumulate up to 5100. Fifthly, budgetary Soviet optics are installed, which one with adapters. which without, BUT! Due to Nikon's long working distance, sharpness will not even be set at any focal length. For example, for Helios 44-2, this will be a distance of 0.5 to 2 meters, and taking into account the fact that the glass is planted on a crop, with this distance you can shoot either very small objects or very large portraits, up to the chest. Other companies don't have this problem.

A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

The camera is a little over two years old, has seen everything, and rain and snow and sand and frost -35. In the cold, the battery lasts much less like all the others. But if you use it as you took it, took a dozen pictures and removed it for a week, then the battery will last for 3 months. The quality of the picture is quite acceptable. You can shoot in JPEG, RAW and JPEG and RAW together. I took it for 24k with a Kitovskiy 18-55 lens. I did not regret the purchase. I immediately saw the…

Pros
  • kettle mode, raw, battery.
Cons
  • SD card cover play, expensive accessories

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

I have had my camera for five months now. Very satisfied. I take pictures, experiment with different settings, in general I study. To get a good picture, you need to correctly set the settings in the camera, if it is a SLR, this does not mean a guarantee of good pictures. The built-in flash is good, but the external one is better. Then there will be no shadows. I bought a nissin. And yet, because of the dimensions, you don’t always want to take it with you on the road. Lots of features, highly…

Pros
  • The camera is just super: design, fits perfectly in the hand, convenient settings, both auto and manual modes. The price with two lenses (18-55, 55-200) is acceptable.
Cons
  • The cover of the memory card compartment is loose. Low battery capacity. Dimensions, more than a digital soap box.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

The camera is not bad. I am a beginner photographer and I really like this camera. The choice was between Nikon d3100 and Canon d1100, I compared for a long time, I understand the devices not badly. I liked the ergonomics, 11 focus points, the canon has only 9 of them. There is no Full HD video on the canon. Fast work, the stabilizer of which was not in canon. convenient display , with a flash, generally class. 14 megapixels, only 12 on the canon. I chose this device because when you hold it…

Pros
  • price, ergonomics, matrix, focus, lens, flash, long charge, image quality, manual settings, tips, display, etc.
Cons
  • cover from the lens, but they quickly made a rope there themselves and all hurt)

All is well, liked the product, didn't buy it for nothing.

Bought in the summer. I just wanted to understand the difference between taking pictures with a DSLR and a soap box. It is rather weak with a whale lens, it happens that it blurs the focus. Over time, you get used to both slow focusing and rather rather big weight. take cards not lower than the 10th class, otherwise it will "think". I took a fix 50 mm, 1.8 aperture after 2 months. After that, I realized what the joke of DSLRs is. The pictures are sharp, you can see every detail, even the…

Pros
  • Price quality.
Cons
  • no screwdriver

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I chose for a long time. Since the camera is needed for simple family photos, I originally planned an advanced compact. But indoors (where I most often shoot), the result of the soap dish was not very pleasing. They advised me to try something from simple DSLRs. There was an opportunity to test a couple of cameras at home (canon 1000d, sony a290 and nikon). I immediately fell in love with Nikon. So far, I have not regretted the purchase even once (about a month from the date of purchase). For…

Pros
  • Fits comfortably in the hand, lightweight (for a DSLR). There is no time yet to really figure it out, I click in auto modes, while the quality of photos and videos suits me very well. The charge holds for a long time.
Cons
  • Lens cap without a cord, I'm always afraid to lose it. And the belt rubs the neck a little. For a camera, this is not a drawback, but this is a reason to find fault :) The price - in our city is much higher than in the internet. It was possible to order, but you never know - you don’t really want to go looking for a service center in Hong Kong.

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

- I compared Nikon with the d40, which is at home - the progress is obvious. In the afternoon, in some places it can even compete with the d700. - d3100 outperforms 500d almost everywhere except for video detail, and the picture is similar to 550d. and when you compare the prices of nikon and canon, you understand that the latter simply wind up on cameras more than necessary. than the newer and more advanced d3100 ? so until 550d gets cheaper - Nikon remains an absolute hit))))

Pros
  • - price - ergonomics - easy operation for a beginner - the matrix allows you to shoot in the evening and even at night finally Nikon has a decent video and EVEN autofocus working with him - excellent image detail
Cons
  • - the screen could have been placed better - again there is no screwdriver in the carcass, only af-s lenses

In general, it's pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

This is not my first Nikon. The camera left a very controversial impression. Inexpensive horse that you need to constantly monitor and go around. I think Nikon's own matrix was ​​not very successful. I got used to it for six months before I learned to cope with it. I can't recommend this camera to beginners! For landscapes and trips, it’s good and there is even a noticeable improvement with previous generations, with shooting people, everything is not very good. As a result, all the same, I…

Pros
  • Excellent ergonomics Low noise Good built-in microphone for video As always, Nikon has a lot of nice functionality in the very initial carcass, which is what it takes
Cons
  • Auto mode cannot be used - shamelessly lifts ISO. Instead of auto, use the "child" mode, everything is quite correct in it. Skinton is always in yellowness and carrots and this is not treated by white balance in editors Poor halftone transmission, if the photo can still be pulled out in the editor, then there is little that can be done on the video The viewfinder has become smaller, the plastic is worse, the buttons dangle

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I bought it on May 28, 2022 for 22,999 (Hong Kong). My first SLR. After the soap dishes, the quality of the photos is simply impressive. Now I can no longer look at photos taken on a soap dish (I had an ultrazoom) before buying Nikona. The cover of the flash card compartment is a little loose, but this is not critical, although it will open from the palm of your right hand. But the View NX2 program converts RAW for a very long time (100 photos on my 2.4 GHz 2-core processor with 2 giga RAM are

Pros
  • Good quality camera, photos Shooting Full HD video
Cons
  • Backlash of a cover of a compartment of a memory card The software that comes with the kit processes RAW images for a very long time No swivel display (I don't need one)

A complete disaster, the product definitely did not pass the quality check!!!

Bought for my birthday. I wanted a super fotik, after reading a bunch of reviews, I decided to buy it, it would be better if I went to Egypt. I compare with several soap dishes that I had. In auto mode with this optics, it shoots worse than all the soap dishes that I had, including the cheapest ones. It is not possible to shoot at home - there is not enough light, to shoot on the street during the day - on the contrary, there is a lot of light. I set everything to the maximum speed, I set…

Pros
  • I have not found it yet (maybe only the appearance .)

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

I bought the camera complete with a 55-200 lens. Prior to this, there was no experience of photographing with a SLR camera. This camera is suitable for photography lovers without deep knowledge. The photo quality is excellent in my opinion. For an example, see the photo in my profile. I also liked the intuitive menu and 11 focus points. The only thing I didn't like was the Full HD video quality.

Pros
  • Price, ease for a beginner photographer, intuitive menu
Cons
  • Poor video quality

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

Bought for business. I write articles for newspapers and take photos for them, sometimes I cover some events. But, for sure, I'm not a photographer and I needed something simpler than a professional camera. It copes with its intended purpose completely even with the delivery lens, I see no reason to buy better. Of course, in manual mode, the pictures come out better. I save pictures in Raw + F mode. At the same time, for sure, for artistic shooting you need a camera with a higher level. In…

Pros
  • Compact. Thematic modes are quite enough for shooting "for home and family". Nice kit lens. Fast battery charging. Beautiful ))). Clear menu. The picture in the viewfinder is somehow more inspiring than that of comparable Canon devices (in particular, Canon 1100 d and 550 d - definitely worse, some kind of limited, but - this is an emotional assessment, but a fact - I checked it several times and chose Nikon, mainly for this reason) and visually - more colorful and clear. There is a cleaning function of the matrix. The video is of excellent quality, and in the beginning it is simply better than the photo))).
Cons
  • Mentioned many times: the cover of the card compartment is loose. And this is not comme il faut. And, perhaps, there are extra buttons, it could have been probably smaller. Have competitors - did not notice this. I held a Canon 550 d of Japanese assembly - everything is adjusted in the device, there is a feeling of solidity, reliability. There is also a well-known complaint - there is no cable for connecting to a computer in the kit (I use Canon soap dishes from the kit)))).
