Nikon d3100 a good purchase?
Hi,
I’ve just took the plunge and bought my first digital slr, the Nikon d3100. It cam with the standard kit lens. £400. Is this great value. I know megapixels are far from everything but at much cheaper prices there a compacts with many more than the 14.2 of the d3100
Will this camera become quickly outdated or be a good product for years to come?
Also can somebody explain what sort of settings are best for taking portrait photos at night with a lot in background. Ie sky line or stadium, building etc? Exposure shutter speed etc. plus how do you keep the person in focus as well as background? I’m aware there’s no magic button but please little advice on whether I’d is achievable relatively easily and often how?
Many thanks
At $700 with lens, the Nikon D3100 is easy to recommend—it offers great image quality, a helpful Guide Mode for newbies, and continuous autofocus for those who want a true D-SLR with simple video recording. Despite not being able to offer continuous autofocus, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i remains our Editor’s Choice budget D-SLR since it offers top-notch image quality, a much better LCD, and a wider choice of video resolutions and frame rates. If you’re looking for a camera that offers something closer to a true camcorder experience, the Sony Alpha55, the mirror-less Sony NEX-3, and the Panasonic Lumix GH1 are worth checking out.
