D3100 – Nikon new low price digital camera Author: michaelciricillo

There is all the time a battle between Nikon and Canon. These two well-know digital digicam producers have all the time been in competition to get dominant market share. Currently, Canon stays a bit in front of Nikon. Take for instance the Canon Insurgent T2i, a very good DSLR digital camera with inexpensive price. There is virtually no Nikon’s digicam in a position to stop the T2i from eating a giant chunk of the market. Not until Nikon launched the new Nikon D3100. Many believed that Nikon D3100 DSLR digital camera will soon dominate the entry-degree DSLR camera. Designed with beginners in mind, Nikon D3100 has many options that will be helpful for not so professional photographers and even beginner and hobbyist photographers. Amongst those features are the automatic settings and Guide Mode. D3100 Nikon’s automatic settings allow users to pay attention in what they need to be doing the most, which is taking the picture and not in some technicality issues. The Scene Auto Selector function will choose the suitable mode which matches the shooting situation, whereas the Scene Recognition will deliver crystal clear shots. The Guide Mode, in the other hand, will give users any details about D3100 Nikon proper from inside the camera. It is kinda just like the F1 button in lots of laptop applications. Being planned for less-skilled photographers do not essentially make D3100 Nikon digicam much less-succesful one. In fact, there are a number of advanced features packed into this digital camera. Options like 14.2 megapixels CMOS DX sensor, Live View and full HD video capture, wider ISO range and 3-inch LCD will definitely make customers to have the ability to get better picture. Nikon D3100 Digicam is supplied with eleven-factors AF (Auto Focus) System which enables you to focus in particular objects from so many angles.Along with those above mentioned features, Nikon D3100 can also be the primary Nikon’s camera in its class to have a Full HD (1080p) recording capability. Though many photographers are inclined to pay much less attention to this characteristic, it’d still

come in handy whenever. Nikon also developed an in-digital camera image and film modifying feature. Customers can easily edit the taken photos without having to be connected to the PC.You may need think that Nikon D3100 will prices you a lot. Surprisingly, this camera can still be thought-about a valued one despite of all the forefront packed features.
