Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

My first DSLR, but before buying it, I read a lot of articles, reviews about many other brands and models of cameras. For amateur photographers, this camera will be very good. Complete lens - Nikon 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor with optical stabilization. It does not differ in transcendental characteristics. Excellent features, sufficient for a beginner in most situations. Although the D3100 cannot reveal its full potential on this optics. The quality of images on a computer, as…

Pros
  • Photo quality, user-friendly interface, speed and quality of image processing, easy enough to use for beginner photographers, there are a lot of bells and whistles.
Cons
  • Until I saw

Perfect product for any user!

The main thing in the camera is a photo and not a video! the flaws are not critical, they don’t interfere with taking a normal picture. It’s just a shame that they don’t let you indulge in some bells and whistles that are almost never needed) The camera is great! photos are great! and nothing more is needed from the fotik! Do not think that you will get a better picture if you pay extra 10 thousand, for example, the picture will be the same approximately! More expensive dx cameras (up to 60…

Pros
  • weight, comfortable, rubberized, unlike kenon d1100, good kit, low price for a DSLR, matrix with cleaning function, unlike kenon, stamps 3 frames per second
Cons
  • Most killed by the lack of functions that depend on the current firmware! not from the hardware! for example, where is exposure bracketing (a series of shots with different exposures), why didn’t they add HDR photos like on 5100? if you want to make hdr there is no such function as breaking! After all, it's a trifle for the manufacturer to make a similar firmware as on the older model! The backlash of the memory card cover is not critical, of course, but it infuriates a little the screen is kind of soapy! You won’t understand a clear picture or a soapy one from it, it’s also inconvenient to process photos directly on the camera optics are more expensive than canon

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I’ve been using it for a little more than a week, but I’ve already chosen it, I wanted a Canon 550d. But I didn’t wish at all for my choice of nikon 3100, especially since I saved almost 10,000, and this is very significant, with the money saved you can buy everything you need for a SLR, so that who wants excellent amateur pictures, choose this device. And the video function is always needed, now any photographer can become an excellent director of short films.

Pros
  • Excellent matrix, good quality assembly, excellent pictures, easy and simple menu, info button. A very necessary little thing, Super high-quality video.
Cons
  • Display only

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

I took it in for a long time, like everyone else asked the question which is better for the first Canon 550d or Nikon d3100 DSLR. I saw the advantages of the d3100? Firstly, the color reproduction is very good, all my friends are crazy about photos, all the more so :-) Now about the noise, the camera copes with them very well, at iso 1600 and even 3200 you get good photos. I felt this loss, as I shoot in RAW. They also say that it’s bad that there is no motor in the carcass (screwdriver), don’t

Pros
  • Very fast autofocus, even in the evening without backlight, the lamp focuses pretty quickly. Excellent color reproduction, plus very wide color scheme settings. It is comfortable in the hand, I got used to the control buttons quickly, they are located under both hands. There is a programmable fn button. ISO 1600 is fully operational. The video is of good quality, and if you set the focus mode to tracking during video shooting, then it focuses on objects itself, the only drawback is that the noise of the focus motor will also be recorded on video. The battery holds an average of 500 or more frames, I was able to shoot and 650-700 (without a flash) is very good. It is possible to process photos on the camera itself, both raw and jpg files, believe me, it is very convenient, especially when there is no computer at hand. And most importantly, the price!
Cons
  • Disadvantages can be found in everything, but in this camera they are not significant and do not affect the quality of the photo.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Overall: A very good camera that is 100% worth the money. If this is your first serious camera, and you will shoot what you like, do not delve into "making money on pictures" earning money, then this camera is for you. Those. for everyday use. Suitable for the whole family. It is better to buy a bag for the device. I took Golla. Makes comfortable, and not unimportantly, stylish bags. It's worth taking a film on a 3-inch screen. 100 will save a vulnerable soul :) And an external flash. I tend

Pros
  • 1. Ease of management. This is a priority for people who take something more complicated than a mobile phone or a regular digital camera for the first time. The menu is very detailed and intuitive at the same time. Of course, sometimes I would like to change / correct something faster, but even with one programmable button, it is very convenient. Lots of nice little things. For example, if you took 2 frames from the same position in different modes, then on the display you can zoom in on the picture and use the wheel to compare the same parts of the frame, revealing the best one. Very nice. 2. Price. Not very expensive. Let's say the same Canon 500D will be more expensive, but in terms of characteristics they are on a par with this device. Of course, do not forget the lack of a "screwdriver" and for convenience, you will need to take AF-S lenses so that the device focuses itself. And a similar lens (for example, a 50mm fix) canon will cost an order of magnitude cheaper. But this is already a matter of taste in relation to lenses. Maybe the manual is important for someone. 3. Opportunities. Of course, for such a price (I took 18-55mm with a whale) for 21900. The camera has a lot of possibilities. Fine tuning of all parameters. Very wide sensitivity range. Good photos at high ISO values. Those. if you want to take a picture of a person in a nightclub, then at ISO 3200 it will work out well. Of course, not for printing on A4 format, but in order to share with friends and throw "FBontakte", here you will be happy. Here you can attribute good shutter speed values. With excellent lighting at a minimum shutter speed, you can catch a lot. 4. Video. Unlike all the same 500d, the video works much better here. I don’t use 1080p . 720 at 30fps is enough. And of course tracking autofocus. It will be interesting and easy to shoot. Live view can be attributed here, although you rarely use it. But the screen is clear and informative.
Cons
  • 1. Of course, the microphone could also be made stereo, but for the inexperienced (like most) it will do. 2. Shooting speed 3 frames / sec. For its price (small) it will do, but sometimes you want to go faster. But this again rests on older models. 3. If you want to use motor lenses, you will have to spend a little more.

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

I recently acquired Nikon D3100, there is LifeView, it focuses quickly and clearly in this mode. There is a video, just awesome quality, a video camera in the trash. And no matter what the "pros" say, these modes make me very happy. And whoever is not happy, let them take it off, for example, if necessary, from a level just above the ground, or just above the head. :) Yes, and they still vilify with them a DECENT video camera, all of a sudden something interesting comes across in the creative…

Pros
  • Little noise at high ISO. Fast focus. Great video.
Cons
  • The cover of the flash card creaks every time you touch the camera. Why is she so big?

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I selected a camera with a small number of M-pixels, in the combination of price-quality-functionality, this camera has no competitors. The camera is heavy - almost 800 grams, but not too heavy, the neck will not hurt. Everything is available in the menu, I studied it in 30 minutes (partly thanks to tips and reading about it), everything is exactly adjusted, it doesn’t play, I don’t write about the quality of the photos - it depends on me, this model has good hardware. I don’t consider the lack

Pros
  • Rugged body, comfortable grip (I have a small hand), convenient control, in-camera raw processing, auto-correction of lens distortions and XA, a very clear interface, standard connectors (usb, hdmi, av out), compact charging, CMOS-matrix with the function cleaning, 14MP (no frills), fast and low-noise focus, design, noble, no rattling shutter lag, clear menu prompts
Cons
  • after all, the cover of the memory card compartment is a little loose - but this is already nit-picking

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

I am writing from the position of an experienced amateur, a little engaged in commerce. The camera cannot be sold! So I carry it as a spare for commercial shootings and for any extreme and travel for slaughter. I've been carrying for a long time. A very strange product from Nikon. Very popular and very strange. Not the best matrix, strange operation of automation, dangling buttons. d5100 is now a drop more expensive and much better. Nevertheless, the d3100 never failed, there was not a single…

Pros
  • cheap, not a pity to kill
Cons
  • The inscriptions from the buttons are erased, dirty colors, there is no input for an external microphone, fullHD is only 24 fps, which means it is not there. Slow for reportage shooting. The Auto, Guide modes are completely unusable and only confuse the beginner.

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

The designers were too smart: in many modes without a flash at night or in the evening it is impossible to photograph anything: it says “the object is too dark” and shooting is disabled. On the one hand, this is good for the inexperienced, but . This is not only when shooting the moon in the night sky, but also, for example, when trying to photograph an almost white cat in a room against a dark background under the light of a fluorescent lamp (the cat is very well lit, but there is a shadow…

Pros
  • APS-C matrix. The stabilizer of the supplied lens is good, I was able to shoot a clear shot with a shutter speed of 1/2 s and a focal length of 55 mm (of course, you need to hold the camera well). The ability to shoot in RAW + JPEG is convenient (however, RAW is only compressed here - I can’t say if this is more of a disadvantage or advantage). However, competitors in the RAW price category also have it.
Cons
  • Grossly mistaken with the white balance in the "Landscape" (LS) Picture Control mode: if the frame is mostly water and sky, or if the shutter speed (exposure) is somewhat shorter than required by the level of illumination and sensitivity, the frame will be all "red". Moreover, it practically does not depend on which white balance preset is selected (if you set it correctly: on a sunny day - "Auto" or "Direct sunlight") - manual white setting + then a photo editor can relatively help out! With the "Standard" (SD) Picture Control, errors are not as noticeable. Sometimes it slightly overestimates the brightness (overexposure). Moreover, the brightness is overestimated with auto _no_flash! With a flash, oddly enough, it turns out more correctly. I was not the first to notice both, I read in the reviews, and I confirm. As a result, the sky is sometimes white, so even from RAW (it is compressed here) it is difficult to pull out something sensible, you need to check the view immediately when shooting and adjust the exposure, ISO, aperture (see also the comment below). At first it even seemed that even in manual (M) mode it was impossible to turn off the flash completely! And the instruction is silent that to turn off the flash, you can simply close its cover! And _through_menu_ in exposure priority, aperture priority, program auto (P) and in "manual" the flash is adjusted, but not turned off. It would be nice if they did such a shutdown for all modes by hand and would write it in the instructions. But it can be turned off through the menu in some modes. This ambiguity is confusing. In addition, there are "auto without flash" and "landscape" modes, where it is always off. There is no simple setting of the shutter speed to "infinity" from the menu, instead you can use the "M" mode of the A / M switch on the lens: manually rotate the lens, guided by the sharpness in the viewfinder (it is electronic) or on the display. You just can’t wind it up to the end: it won’t be infinity, but who knows what, unsharply, that is, it spins further than necessary.
