Nikon D3100 Review

 
As a (semi) working pro photographer, I wasn’t that interested in the Nikon D3100. However, after using it for a couple days I am really impressed. We all want more expensive, fancier cameras. But I have no doubt that 90% of photographers would do very well with the D3100 and a couple of good lenses. I can happily recommend the D3100 to almost everyone – especially families who want an inexpensive digital SLR with HD video, student photographers and serious photographers on a budget. The only people who should consider a step up are sports photographers. The 3 frames-per-second burst rate is really too slow for serious action photography. Everyone else – buy the D3100 instead of that more expensive camera you’re drooling over. Take the money you save and invest it in better lenses. That’s a much better strategy than buying the more expensive camera and only having the kit lens.
