Quite advanced within the entry-level DSLR, related to "beginner" models, rather due to the built-in help system and a relatively modest (230K pixels) 3 "non-rotating display, rather than due to functionality. As for the latter, it is worth noting the advanced features here in-camera image processing, 7 scene programs and 6 colour styles, automatic mode, video recording in 1920x1080, accelerometer, HDMI output and the ability to connect a GPS module (sold separately).

Got a camera a week ago. It's really worth the money. It's not a D90, but you can achieve excellent photo quality. The pictures are rich and contrasty. You just need to carefully read the instructions, as there are many functions for manual shooting. If you take all the photos in auto mode, the quality will be average. For beginners working with a DSLR, it's the perfect device. I got it as a kit with the Nikkor 18-55mm VR lens. It would be interesting to try it with more powerful lenses. Price, quality assembly, you can achieve excellent photo quality. Read the instructions, and there will be no shortcomings.  Aleks: use Nikon D3100 body week i recommend it should buy |
I used a Canon 350D for several years. Recently, I bought this camera with a kit lens - it's like night and day compared to the previous camera. Photos even with the kit lens are higher quality than those from the Canon with a 28-135mm lens worth 14k RUB, which I successfully sold and used the money to travel to Turkey through the website www.tur4rest.ru. The anti-glare screen was particularly pleasing - visibility in sunny weather is excellent. The menu is simple and accessible. In general, if you have 15,000 RUB, you won't find a better camera - I recommend it! Excellent kit lens Did not reveal Platon: use Nikon D3100 body few months i recommend it should buy |
Buy you will not regret, especially those who want to further develop their photography skills, moving from a lower level of photography. Now I photograph everything in a row, day and night, up to fleas on my dog. By the way, the video is also excellent, I shoot videos while fishing, and then with the help of the programme I make films and there are no problems if 10 minutes is not enough for anyone. An excellent photo, especially after buying a Canon Power Shot SX 120IS soap dish a month ago, the difference is noticeable. There may be some drawbacks, but they are minor, to seriously draw attention to them, for example: you have to hold the lens cap in your hand so as not to lose it, there is no set of wires, there is no widescreen image resolution. Kuzma: use Nikon D3100 body month or more i recommend it should buy |

Nikon D3100 review:
Shooting modes and functions:
Shooting modes are switched using the rotary dial located on the top panel of the camera.
As with any SLR camera, there is a group of PASM modes:
AUTO Mode:
Almost all parameters are determined by the camera in accordance with the current situation. The flash fires automatically when the subject is poorly lit. The set of changeable parameters in this mode is limited.
Story programs:
The Nikon D3100 has seven scene programs arranged in separate positions on the mode dial: Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Macro, Night portrait, and No flash.
GUIDE mode:
Instead of the SCENE mode, which gives access to an additional set of scene programs, there is a GUIDE mode — a built-in help system with control functions or a hint mode. In the GUIDE mode, the user, as it were, answers questions about what exactly he is going to shoot and under what conditions. When choosing options, the camera switches the corresponding parameters. There is a choice between "Easy operation" and "Advanced functions". In the second case, the content deals with slightly more creative moments, giving tips on blurring the background and freezing motion.
In GUIDE mode, many options are not available, just like when using scene programs.
Picture Control Mode:
The Picture Control is designed to allow you to select colour schemes, or picture styles. There are six styles — Standard SD, Neutral NL, Vivid VI, Monochrome MC, Portrait PT and Landscape LS.
Active D-Lighting function:
Active D-Lighting is useful in high contrast environments. It helps to brighten the darkest areas, while avoiding overexposure. Unlike the D5000, there is no way to adjust the intensity of the feature, it can either be turned on or off.
Playback mode and image processing:
The captured images are displayed in two versions:
The first option — shows the picture, file name, date of shooting, etc.;
The second option is a smaller frame, more detailed parameters and a brightness chart.
Switching between options is done with the navigator up button. If these displayed parameters are not enough for you, then it is possible to customize the displayed parameters yourself in the menu item “Display Mode” and as a result get seven screens displaying different information about the pictures.
The possibilities of in-camera image processing in the Nikon D3100 are very wide. The processing menu has both typical, mandatory functions, such as cropping and red-eye correction, and more interesting features such as:
"Star filter" — set the number of rays (4, 6 or 8), the strength of the filter (three levels), the angle of the rays (three options) and the distance between points (three levels)
"Miniature effect" — the camera blurs the top and bottom of the image, leaving a sharp narrow strip in the central part (the position of which can be changed).
Video:
Nikon D3100 can shoot video with a resolution of 1920x1080 at a frame rate of 24 fps, encoded in H.264. The sound is written in mono.
In order to switch to video mode, you first need to turn on live view mode, only from it you can start filming (and not immediately by pressing the button with a red dot, as in many models). The implementation of the live view mode has a lot of changeable parameters. There are as many as four types of autofocus operation — Face priority, Wide area, Normal area and Subject tracking. The (–) and (+) buttons can be used to change the scale of the area where autofocus has worked. When you press the "i" button, the usual control panel is displayed on the screen, where you can change the shooting parameters without turning off the live view mode. During shooting, without interrupting it, you can change the aperture value, shutter speed, exposure compensation.
Nikon D3100 is equipped with a built-in video editor. Its capabilities do not differ much from the video editors built into cameras — you can cut off the excess, as well as save a single frame, selected and stopped in pause mode.
Display:
Nikon D3100 is equipped with a 3-inch LCD screen. Its resolution is 230,000 pixels. On the display, the user can make shooting settings and read information about certain parameters. When the camera is rotated, the image is automatically rotated in the display.
Viewfinder:
The mirror viewfinder in the Nikon D3100 is equipped with a rubber eyecup. Frame coverage is 95 percent.
Advantages and disadvantages:
Pros:
Nikon D3100 is offered in six configurations:
Shooting modes and functions:
Shooting modes are switched using the rotary dial located on the top panel of the camera.
As with any SLR camera, there is a group of PASM modes:
- P mode — the camera automatically selects shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure
- Mode A — you set the aperture, the camera determines the shutter speed
- S mode — you set the shutter speed, the camera selects the aperture.
- M mode — manual mode. Both shutter speed and aperture are set.
AUTO Mode:
Almost all parameters are determined by the camera in accordance with the current situation. The flash fires automatically when the subject is poorly lit. The set of changeable parameters in this mode is limited.
