Alrighty guys! Since I am quite a newbie I would ask your opinion on this one, as I'm about to buy it this week!
Nikon D3100 It's about 480 euros new from the store, so I was wondering if there would be better options in this price range! What do you think? |

I'm not really sure about other cams mate. What I can tell you about that cam is that it is a very good amateur/semi-pro DSLR. It's easy to use, and not so heavy as "bigger" Nikons, so as a workhorse cam, with a good lens, it can produce very good photos, without the need to carry around bulky higher priced Nikon.
I used very similar model for several lessons, and I can tell you that for video I didn't like it that much. Good side is that Vegas is handling it's video files (avc codec, .mov) reasonably well, so you won't have much trouble when editing. Preview is watchable. The thing that I couldn't get off the picture was some type of artifact (that appeared on every Nikon I used), where very mild horizontal stripes go from down to up on the shot, like some sort of a scan phasing that goes upwards. These could be fluorescent light artifacts, cause I'm using halogen lights for recording, or just a problem with the sensor technology, but the artifact is there. It's not a big deal, but if you are paying 500e for cam, it's better not to have this. So, if for video, better to do with good Panasonic HD camcorder in the same price range. If for shooting photos, better to go with Nikon. Bare in mind that HD camcorders are capable for making very decent amateur photographs these days too. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I gotta say that I didn't liked that autofocus that much, cause it's a bit slow, but at least it's accurate.
PS somehow I always end up saying "bad" things about these cams This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Oct 3 2011, 10:47 AM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Thank you guys! I'll consider my options thrice in order not to spoil the money on something which would not be that useful! I'm heading towards the shop today

These were my experiences with this Nikon camera. But as I said, this is for video, you can manage (I'm not sure what's the limit for recording, either 5 or 10 minutes per clip), but since it's 500e already, well, HD camcorders will do much more comfortable job.
On the other hand.. for photography, that Nikon is one hell of a cam. I wouldn't mind having it for that decisions, decisions.. sweet torture -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

SINISA! Todd here. I started a thread on EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY and wanted to shoot you the link. I'm sure you have some wacky stuff!
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0#entry548843 Here are a couple of experimental pix to give you the general idea. I shot these in low light and tried to use the image sensor as a canvas and the light source as the brush. |
