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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 particular, I shot with a Nikon D 700 camera and it is incorrect to compare the capabilities of these cameras. If I already decide to switch from this camera to another, then it will be something from professional nicon cameras (most likely) or canon. But they cost about three times as much. Summary: in the price category up to 30,000 - this device is the best (nikon d 5100 or d 7100 - they have more all sorts of unnecessary, in my opinion, gadgets such as a rotary screen).

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)))).
