A good product, I advise you to try it.

It is impossible to photograph anything at night or in the evening without using a flash in many modes; the camera will inform you that "the object is too dark" and will disable shooting if you try. The designers were too intelligent. On the one hand, this is beneficial for those who lack expertise, but on the other. This is the case not only when photographing the moon against the backdrop of the night sky, but also, for instance, when attempting to photograph an almost white cat in a room…

Pros
  • APS-C matrix. Because the lens's stabilizer is of a high quality, I was able to take a picture that was sharp even though the shutter speed was only 1/2 of a second and the focal length was 55 millimeters (of course, you need to hold the camera well). It is practical to be able to shoot in both RAW and JPEG; however, the raw files produced by the camera are simply compressed, and I am unable to determine whether or not this is more of a detriment than a benefit. Yet, rivals in the Same price group also have it in their inventory.
Cons
  • In the "Landscape" (LS) Picture Control mode, there is a significant error in the white balance: the frame will be entirely "red" if the majority of the scene consists of the sky and the water, or if the shutter speed (exposure) is somewhat shorter than what is required by the level of illumination and sensitivity. In addition, it basically does not matter whatever white balance preset is selected (provided that it is set correctly: on a sunny day, select "Auto" or "Direct sunlight") - manual white setup, and then a photo editor can assist out substantially! Errors are less noticeable when the picture is controlled by the "Standard" (SD) setting. There are occasions when it slightly exaggerates the level of brightness (overexposure). In addition to this, the brightness is exaggerated when auto-no-flash is used! Surprisingly, it becomes clearer in an instant and ends up being more accurate. According on what I read in the reviews, I can affirm that I was not the first person to notice any of these things. As a consequence of this, the sky is not always blue; as a result, it can be difficult to extract useful information even from RAW (which has been compressed here); therefore, you need to check the view immediately before shooting and make any necessary adjustments to the exposure, ISO, and aperture (see also the comment below). In the beginning, it appeared as though it would be impossible to turn the flash off completely, even when using the manual mode (M). The fact that you may switch off the flash by merely closing its lid is not mentioned in the instructions at all. Moreover, the flash may be adjusted _through_ the menu in exposure priority, aperture priority, program auto (P), and "manual," but it cannot be turned off. It would be great if they did a shutdown like this for all of the modes by hand and wrote it down in the instructions. However, in certain modes, it can be disabled through the use of the menu. This lack of clarity is problematic. In addition, there is a setting called "auto without flash" and a mode called "landscape," in both of which the flash is always turned off. There is no easy way to set the shutter speed to "infinity" from the menu; however, you can use the "M" mode of the A / M switch on the lens instead. This allows you to manually rotate the lens while being guided by the sharpness in either the viewfinder (which is electronic) or the display. You simply cannot wind it up all the way to the top; it will not be infinite, but who knows what, and it spins more slowly than is strictly necessary.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I spent a significant amount of time researching the present market for cameras in the price range of up to 35,000 and ultimately decided to purchase this particular model. Nikonovtsy are, for the most part, very good; however, in order to entice customers to purchase nikon as a "system," they provide the highest possible level of functionality and quality at the beginning; however, at the beginning, they may even lose something; however, they count on the continued use of the "system" for the…

Pros
  • 1 A settings menu that is easy to use, informative, and intuitive. 2 The whale lens is really, extremely powerful. 3 Picture quality 4 price compared to a similar model (and somewhere even a lagging canon 500d) The 550d is merely a rival in this market. 5 Video captures pretty fascinating footage, and the continual focus tracking is quite impressive. 7 automated cleaning of the matrix with each on and off 6 excellent "bokeh"
Cons
  • 1. The cover of the memory card is the most frustrating part because it has a slight springiness to it. 2 is still a little concerned that it is too small, and the fact that the ring finger does not grip the gadget but rather supports it from underneath is causing him some discomfort. On the other hand, this can be seen as a benefit by some. 3 there are no brackets. 4 Despite the absence of any cords, I have always relied on flash drives in conjunction with card readers.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

When I first saw it for sale, I had to have it. I recently drowned it, and the camera has been nothing but happy with it. used it frequently; it's lightweight and compact plastic construction makes it comfortable to wear (relative to other cameras). That impressed me that I was able to figure it out without any guidance. In the realm of entry-level DSLRs, it holds its own. Cool as it may be, the ability to interpret images internally serves no practical purpose (IMHO). Dots started showing up…

Pros
  • Value for money; well-made; comfortable to hold; simple to operate; accurate shooting; light weight.
Cons
  • Despite having enough batteries to power 500–600 photographs for someone who uses their camera rarely, I did not have a spare set of batteries available. Almost immediately, dust begins to accumulate in the mirror tube. No "screwdriver"

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

I chose a Gray Whale 18-55 vr because it was $50 less expensive and only had a one-year guarantee. I then purchased a 55-200 VR. My first SLR. Extremely delighted with everything. While there are obviously drawbacks, they are rarely visible due to the infrequent shooting situations. In extreme circumstances, you simply have to put in a little bit more work. For instance, you might twist a polarizing filter manually after focusing instead of exposure bracketing or perform HDRku programmatically…

Pros
  • Price. The best of the virtues might be this. Not all DSLRs can record video in Full HD, but some photographers don't even require it. A really admirable feature of the Kit lens is the VR vibration reduction technology. Even at shutter speeds greater than 1/10, clear pictures may be captured. High ISOs function well with the exception of the flaws I listed: rapid and precise focusing, ultrasonic sensor cleaning, and the Guidance mode for beginners (you simply select the shooting conditions step by step, and the camera automatically selects the settings).
Cons
  • Colors still suffer a little when compared to CCD matrices, despite what the developers state. At high ISO (3200+), the image is highly grainy in the dark parts, which is visible in nighttime photography. When you have to shoot from extremely low or high angles, the viewing screen does not rotate, which is a hassle. The battery life in Live View mode is really poor. All devices with a CMOS matrix experience the unfavorable Rolling Shutter effect when recording video, which manifests as distortion when the camera travels swiftly or removes objects. The annoying sound made by the lens focusing motor is also recorded along with the video. Many people lament the small screen, but I did not experience any particular annoyances. The image will remain clear even when the photo is zoomed in at an incredible scale, and the histogram will not reveal any information about picture losses. a spinning front lens on an 18-55mm lens that makes it challenging to utilize various filters. The kit does not include any HDMI or USB cords, so this is a minor drawback. I went to the market and paid 30 UAH for a Chinese one, but it still tastes bad. There are many lenses with built-in motors, so the absence of a focusing motor in the body is no longer an issue. However, the body itself lacks a vibration suppressor, so I had to take pictures directly into the telescope's focus without a lens. This is probably not a big deal because it happens very infrequently.

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

When you consider how much it costs, the camera is nothing more than a myth. If you decide to get your hands on a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR), I highly recommend the Nikon D3100. I paid 23,000 for mine, and even then, it was worth every penny. It is not something I would recommend to people who are planning to invest in new optics or to take their photography more seriously in the future. If you have a basic understanding of principles like as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, as…

Pros
  • the pricing, the colors, the sharpness, the guide mode, the video, how well it fits in the palm, and how easily a novice can use it
Cons
  • After eight months of use, the cover of the flash drive became loose, and the focus ring on the whale began to hang out; nonetheless, neither of these issues caused me a great deal of concern.

I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

It's been roughly 2.5 years since I got this camera. Happy with the purchase thus far. An excellent choice for first-time users (such as amateur photographers). The Nikon D3100 has been used extensively and flawlessly without issue over its whole lifespan. The picture clarity is fine. Overall, the value of this model exceeds its asking price. That will be a great resource for those just starting out. Don't think twice about it; just do it! Short and easy to carry. Portability and simplicity of…

  • Simple to use, lightweight, and reasonably priced The ideal starting point for novices Long-lasting battery life, adequate and high-quality picture, and full satisfaction with purchase are all highlights. - Long-lasting with proper care

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

The camera is fantastic; I've been able to record many memorable moments of my life with incredible clarity, color, depth, creative flair, etc. Got it 5 years ago and it's been perfect the whole time. Well, I'd love to saddle up a full skeleton, but it's just too expensive. In the month of November, 2022 The base price of a Nikon D610 is $95,000, which is absolutely ridiculous. And even if the technology were more advanced, I wouldn't see the sense in switching from crop to crop. The Nikkor…

Pros
  • 1. Price Second, the daytime scenes look like something out of a fairy tale when shot in good, natural light. 3. After a brief period of supervisory interaction with the camera, an automated state is reached almost immediately. Extensive selection of lenses and accessories in stock at all times Four, it's built to last and isn't too heavy. Several times I've fallen, and each time I've come back more lively than everyone else. Used practically everywhere save from when filming in water. I don't think it's fair to overcharge for a snapshot taken by an amateur.
Cons
  • One, with such a limited number of foci, it is often preferable to move the focal plane by a centimeter or so, but not here! 2. Even with an f/1.8 lens, it's extremely noisy in low light. No infrared port, but wireless is too inexpensive to consider. After a year (maybe only for me), the charger in the kit stopped working. 5. When shooting in Live View mode, even with the same camera settings and lighting conditions, the image is frequently blurry due to the slower shutter speed and the increased shutter speed. I can't explain it, but the screen always seems to vanish right when you need it most during a shoot. Sixth, another odd bun-chip: even when set to manual, the iso will still switch to auto. Why? I looked for the solution in the vast cyber void and came up with it. When removing the Menu item, the autoiso must be done so independently.

Satisfied with the purchase one hundred percent, I recommend the product for everyone.

They invented the first "reflex camera," so you can see for yourself how extraordinary everything is after something as mundane as a soap dish. Everything was enjoyable to us on the amateur level, even if it might not be appropriate for a professional. I shot it with a stabilizer that is a little bit more expensive, but it makes taking pictures much more convenient. The photographs come out looking good, there are a ton of different shooting settings, and all around, there is lots of potential…

Pros
  • a useful piece of advice for novices
Cons
  • not quite yet

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

Comparatively speaking, it cost less than $9,000 when I purchased it. The Samsung WB2022 soap dish I had at the time was nice, but it lacked detail. Heaven and earth are generally superior to any soap box up to 16 thousand. Even in comparison to a rival in the same price range as Canon, because of a better kit lens. The Nikon d5200 will be my next camera since it has a far improved autofocus technology that eliminates the need to repeatedly shoot the same object in the hopes that the camera…

Pros
  • Its compact size is a bonus, as is its light weight, even when compared to a soap dish, and its pleasant grip and good picture clarity for the price (13-15t.) a decent kit lens that produces sharp images battery – I don't really take videos, thus the battery hasn't died on me in photo mode yet (up to 700 photos in RAW is easy)
Cons
  • The video quality isn't significantly better than my old soapbox, which didn't have a wildly crunchy focusing motor that was painfully slow and audibly noisy (you can hear it on the video!). Videotape them exclusively using manual focus. One cross point is still normal, however the rest of the autofocus points focus randomly. After purchasing a 35mm camera, focusing misses increased at all apertures. Possibly front focus, but you can't change it in this manner. Yes, the screen is bad. Even when viewing the captured images, it's difficult to tell whether they are sharp or blurry, and zooming in to 100% usually reveals squares that aren't present in the image.

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

wonderful gadget) the photographs are crisp and clear; combine the whale lens with a plus lens (70-300mm or 55-200mm) and you'll have optics for any situation. easy to carry around, not too heavy, and rather small for its category; within a month, you'll be able to use it entirely by feel. colors! You can achieve a more true-to-life photo by turning off the camera's color settings.

Pros
  • The matrix resolution, compactness, lack of noise at low iso, user friendliness, plethora of available lenses, Life View mode, high-definition video, and expansive screen size.
Cons
  • However, the 18-55 whale lens (like many comparable variants) falls short in some respects. It's best to shoot manually =) because the machine can miss the focus and the metering exposure more often. In contrast to more basic cameras like the Coolpix P90, there is no bracketing functionality.

The product is working, but I will not repeat the purchase for sure.

My perspective is that of a seasoned amateur who dabbles in business. You may not sell the camera. As a result, I always have it on me as a backup in case of any commercial shoots or other severe situations when I might need to kill people. The burden has been mine for quite some time. Nikon has released a most peculiar product. Widespread, but baffling in its appeal. Dangling buttons, a shaky grid, and odd robotic behavior. Now slightly more expensive, the d5100 is also significantly superior.

Pros
  • easy to kill, and not too expensive
Cons
  • Erased button markings, soiled hues, no external microphone input, and a maximum frame rate of 24 frames per second (fps) all point to a lack of care and attention to detail. The shutter speed is too slow for use in reportage. The Auto and Guidance settings are useless and will just cause confusion for the new user.

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

The Nikon D3100 kit vr has stirred debate about how best to categorize this camera since its release. Nikon D3100 "invaded" the region of mid-level SLR cameras and even surpassed them in certain parameters; on the one hand, the camera received certain changes in features and functions, which is fairly appropriate given that it is a continuation of the D3000 series. The Nikon D3100, like all Nikon DSLRs, features a quick-change lens mount; this one is class F and contains AF contacts. It's worth

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

For a while, I made my decision. I originally intended to get a high-tech tiny camera because it will be used for basic family portraits. However the outcome of the soap dish wasn't particularly appealing indoors (where I most frequently shot). They suggested I start with a basic DSLR. A chance existed for certain cameras to be tested at home (canon 1000d, sony a290 and nikon). I fell in love with Nikon right away. I haven't had a single regret regarding the purchase thus far (about a month…

Pros
  • Lightweight and comfortable in the hand (for a DSLR). Since I don't have enough time to fully understand it, I use auto modes while taking images and films that are of extremely high quality. Long-lasting charge retention.
Cons
  • Without a cable, the lens cover always makes me nervous. And the belt slightly rubs on the neck. This is not a flaw for a camera, but it is a reason to be critical:) The cost is far more in our city than it is online. Although ordering was allowed, you shouldn't actually look for a service center in Hong Kong because you never know what can happen.

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

I recently purchased it because I've liked it for a while. Many claim that Canon is superior, but in my opinion, Nikon is the coolest brand. I advise buying! Excellent for beginners. He simply moves about and is generally. But, pals were obviously savvy as "experts," such how the camera is only mediocre. People have high expectations of themselves. In terms of taste and color, there is no comrade! The camera is malfunctioning. I'm content.

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

At its price range, a pretty good camera. If investing in pricey photographic equipment seems wasteful, feel free to use this specific tool instead; for the first time, it will be sufficient for your eyes (and maybe for a long time). I especially recommend it to those like me, that is, beginners, even if I saw a lot of expert photographers using that camera and a monster 18-55 (!) lens (photo shoots and weddings too). Shoots—not a camera, as they say. If you are familiar with the fundamentals…

Pros
  • 1. Even with a whale lens, the photos are of very good quality. 2. The cost of this camera is one of its main advantages, as many people have already mentioned. 3. Solid construction; nothing falls or cracks. 4. An excellent option for amateur photographers.
Cons
  • This is still the camera's greatest flaw, despite the fact that I've already listed the 18-55 whale lens as a benefit. A week later, I understood that the focus length was insufficient for all circumstances. Moreover, the lens's appearance might be lot better.

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

The product is marketed by NIKON as being suitable for families because of its size, which is larger than that of soap dishes but smaller than those used in professional settings. The quality of the pictures is significantly higher than what was available on the "soap box" (this was the term that stuck, perhaps because of the characteristically fuzzy appearance of the images:). Do not be in a hurry to get rid of the soap dish; even after removing it, the D3100 will still be somewhat hefty (:)…

Pros
  • 1. It is compact and lightweight in comparison to earlier models. In comparison to "soap dishes," this weapon has a quick focus and a good rate of fire. 2. Video - 1080 lines, 24 frames per second. - normal. 3. When autofocus is activated, a nice feature that the focus points have is that red lights flash in the middle of them. 4. The screen is viewable from a variety of angles; for example, when shooting "overhead" in LiveView mode, everything is displayed in its entirety. It is not necessary to have a screen that can swivel. 5. Working at high ISO settings. Only when the image is magnified to a very high level can noise be seen.
Cons
  • 1. The device's size is ideal for use with a palm that is not very large (almost perfect for a woman). As a result, I use my left hand to handle the lens the majority of the time. 2. The video button is combined with the LiveView lever; because of its size, it is difficult to press through with your thumb, so you will need to use your fingernail instead. 3. There are no audible "clicks" associated with the movements of the control buttons and menus.

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

In general, the only place to take pictures of a high quality is out in the open, where there is enough of natural light. When you frequently deal with a lens, as many people have mentioned and written, it can occasionally really crunch in a peculiar way, which can be really frightening, and it does not give any joy. There were even a few occasions where I flat-out refused to take shots in the shadow. Ladies, the camera does not belong to me in any way. For the family as well, but for those who

Pros
  • 1. Simplicity of management For individuals who are taking something more complex than a mobile phone or a typical digital camera for the first time, this is a priority. The menu is both quite thorough and easy to understand. It is incredibly convenient even with just one programmable button, yet there are occasions when I would like to change or correct anything more quickly. several lovely small things. For instance, if you captured two frames from the same position but in different modes, you may zoom in on the image and use the wheel to compare the same portions of the frames to determine which is the best. Very great. 2. Price. reasonably priced Let's assume that even if the identical Canon 500D costs more, it has similar features to this gadget. Of course, keep in mind that you won't have a "screwdriver" and that you'll need to bring AF-S lenses with you for convenience so that the device can focus on its own. Moreover, a significantly less expensive lens (like as a 50mm fix canon) will have an identical focal length. But in terms of lenses, this is already a personal preference issue. Perhaps someone will find value in the manual. Opportunity 3. Naturally, at that cost (I paid 21900 for an 18-55mm with a whale).

ISO 3200 will work well if you want to take a photo of a person in a nightclub. Of course, not for printing on A4 size, but you'll be pleased to find this if you want to share with friends and post on "FBontakte". Good shutter speed values can be attributed here. You can capture a lot of images with good lighting and a slow shutter speed. 4. Video. Here, the video functions considerably better than it did in all of the 500d. I do not utilize 1080p. 30 frames per second at 720 is plenty. With tracking autofocus, naturally. That will be amusing and simple to shoot. Even though you don't often utilize it, live view might be credited here. The display, however, is useful and clear.
Cons

It is adequate for its (small) price, although occasionally you wish to go more quickly. Yet once more, this is based on older models. 3. You will need to spend a little more money if you want to use motor lenses.
