Review on Nikon D3100 DSLR Camera with Auto Focus-S Nikkor Zoom Lens (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Somchai Kittisak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

The purchase of this camera opened my way to the wonderful world of photography and influenced my career. I am delighted with the camera, the price-quality ratio is just excellent. I advise you to buy, you will not regret it. The NIKON AF-S 18-55 mm f / 3,5-F5,6G DX VR lens, with which the Nikon D3100 is sold in the kit, although it is a good entry-level lens, I recommend taking the NIKON AF-S 18-105 mm f / 3.5-5.6 DX VR, NIKON AF-S 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 G VR and NIKON 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor, of course, within the limits of financial possibilities. With this kit, using the camera will be a great pleasure for beginners and amateur photographers.

Pros
  • 23.1 x 15.4 mm CMOS sensor, 14.8 megapixels (working 14.2 million pixels). Resolution 4608 x 3072. Excellent focus. A huge number of modes for shooting, especially pleasing automatic modes P, A, S and manual mode M. Shutter with electronic control and vertical travel of the curtains. Shutter speed from 1/4000 to 30 seconds in steps of 1/3 EV; excerpt by hand. NEF(RAW). 3-inch (7.5cm) TFT LCD monitor with approximately 230K dots and brightness control. Exposure compensation from -5 to +5 EV in steps of 1/3 EV. ISO 100 to 3200 in 1 EV increments; can be set to about 2 EV above ISO 3200 (equivalent to ISO 6400), auto ISO sensitivity control available. The self-timer still has a huge number of advantages, even the exposure processing modes are probably superfluous. It should also be noted Full HD (1920x1080) video recording with a cinematic frequency of 24 frames / sec.
Cons
  • Built-in flash, which by the way still quickly "plants" the battery. I recommend using an external flash.
