Nikon D3100 Review
By Brian Jones
A high-quality entry-level digital SLR camera, this Nikon model will satisfy photographers from a beginner to intermediate level with its intuitive controls and fantastic picture quality. Now that the D3200 is out, the price has dropped to around $450. That’s an excellent deal for a starter DSLR. The video shooting capabilities are extremely sharp and smooth at 1080p HD, which would look amazing on a big-screen TV. With a fast shutter speed capable of shooting continuous shots at three frames per second, you won’t miss any of the action. The ISO levels are also very high, letting you get shots even in dark settings.
