Nikon D3100 Entry-Level Digital SLR

Nikon D3100 Entry-Level Digital SLR

The Nikon D3100 is a great deal for beginning photographers or photographers on a budget (or beginning photographers on a budget). We reviewed it last year and were very pleased with the image quality and overall performance. The 14-megapixel sensor is more than capable, it has a Guide Mode to help photographers better understand how the camera works, and it has full HD video. In fact, it was the very first digital SLR to offer continuous auto focus in movie mode – another first for Nikon. Honestly, the D3100 is as much camera as most photographers need. Buy the D3100 and spend the money you save on a better lens.
