photos and movies containing rich tonal gradations. This
combination also helps produce beautifully defocused backgrounds
- a hallmark of quality digital SLR cameras. In addition a
maximum ISO of 3200 (expandable to ISO 12800 equivalent using the

to camera-shake.

settings.
A Photography Lesson
--------------------
Using your very own in-camera assistant, the intelligent Guide
Mode not only helps you to create great pictures, but helps you
understand how the was achieved so you can develop your
photographic skills for the future. Through Guide Mode you can
choose a setting that matches the scene you want to create, this
quick and easy-to-use feature will then do the rest. You can even
view sample images of what you can expect from each setting, for
example if you change the aperture or shutter speed settings.
Automatic Simplicity
--------------------
The D3100 has a range of automatic settings to help create
beautifully balanced photos at decisive moments. When Nikon’s
highly praised Live View is activated and Full-time-servo AF
(AF-F) is selected, the camera will go to work even before you
press the shutter release. Subject-tracking AF keeps your
subjects in focus, even when they are in motion and the
Face-priority AF can instantly detect up to a maximum of 35 faces
in a scene and even if the faces move the camera continues to
track and focus in on them. Composing beautiful images is made so
much easier with Scene Auto Selector which automatically selects
a scene mode suited to the shooting situation and subject. For
added convenience, an icon of the selected scene mode appears in
the top-left corner of the LCD monitor so you’ll know whether the
camera has selected Landscape or Night Portrait mode for your
next .
Flip the switch and you're ready to go - Live View gives you an
intuitive, familiar way to photograph subjects on the move.
Effortless Shooting
-------------------
A variety of practical and innovative in-camera tools help to
make the most of every shooting rtunity and ensure your
pictures are captured to perfection. Some s are so easy to
miss but with the high-speed superior accuracy of the 11-point AF
system the D3100 delivers razor sharp images by maintaining focus
on even the smallest subjects however unpredictable their
movements may be. And when facing extremely high-contrast
lighting beyond the camera’s dynamic range, Nikon’s exclusive
Active D-Lighting helps you maintain details in the highlights
without losing them in the shadows. Boosting your creativity in
Picture Control you can customise images before you shoot.
Choosing from six creative settings you can determine the look
and mood of your photos or video by choosing to change the image
to Monochrome or Neutral. And with the extensive in-camera
editing functions you can enhance images with techniques such as
Red-Eye Correction and Quick Retouch, as well as a range of
Filter Effects.
The D3100's precision high-speed 11-point AF system responds
immediately to changes in scene or composition.

shooting movies. full 1080p HD at 24fps you benefit
from the same exceptional optics and processing capability as in
photo mode. And using Subject-tracking AF your action sequences
will keep perfect focus. Once filming is complete you can make
simple edits in-camera like trimming scenes before or after a
designated point, saving specific frames as still images or
deleting unwanted scenes. To view the final cut you can connect
your camera with the HDMI cable provided to your television and
watch in full HD from the comfort of your sofa.

Review
------
From dpreview.com:
Nikon has developed a habit of making very attractive entry-level
DSLRs, which are rarely the best specified but cleverly designed
so that they're easy and enjoyable to shoot with. The D3000
fitted this pattern perfectly, a gentle refresh of the D60 (which
was itself a slightly updated D40X), it added ease-of-use
features to make it a pleasant little camera to use, despite a
specification that was beginning to look rather out-of-step with
the rest of the market.
The D3000 sold well, despite its rather aged 10 megapixel sensor
and lack of both live view and video. However, there's only so
long that clever product design and feature integration can make
up for a specification that looks dated. So with this in mind,
Nikon has announced the D3100 - probably the biggest refresh of
its entry-level offering since it really attacked the low end
market with the original D40.
The D3100 is built around a 14.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, bringing
not only live view but also Full HD video capture to Nikon's
entry-level model for the first time. In fact, this made it the
first Nikon DSLR to offer 1920x1080 movie . It can only
record clips up to about ten minutes long (due to a 4Gb maximum
file size limitation shared by all DSLRs), but this still counts
as an impressive feature addition at this level.
The body gets a slight refresh from a basic design that
essentially dates back four years to the D40, gaining an extra
button to the left of the screen, a drive mode switch at the base
of the mode dial, a sprung lever to engage live view and a direct
record movie button. Revisions have also been made to the
feature-teaching, hand-holding 'Guide Mode', and an additional
autofocus mode that's designed to allow better focusing in live
view and autofocus during video shooting.
All of this adds up to a DSLR that incorporates all of 2010's
'must have' features but looks like the product of evolution,
rather than dramatic innovation. And 2010 has been a year during
which the rest of the market hasn't devloped along such
predictable lines, not least during the expansion of the large
sensor, mirrorless interchangable lens camera crowd.
Camera makers always try to stress that mirrorless cameras are
creating an entirely new market, rather than competing with
entry-level DSLRs, but it's pretty clear that many people
planning to upgrade from their point-and-shoot compact will
consider both types of camera when making their decision. So,
while the D3100 is unequivocally a DSLR (in a time where the line
between DSLRs and mirrorless cameras is becoming increasingly
hazy), its beginner-friendly guide mode puts it squarely in
competition with several of the mirrorless models that are
equally eager to welcome point-and-shoot upgraders.
Many of these cameras, such as Sony's NEX-3 and 5, Olympus' E-PL1
and Panasonic's GF2, offer similarly accessible interfaces in a
smaller, competitively-priced packages. They also, by eshewing
the conventional DSLR design, are able to offer a shooting
experience that is much closer to that of a compact camera -
which even the best DSLR live view implementation can't easily
mimic at the moment.
So, while the D3100 offers an improved feature set when compared
to a camera we really liked, it remains to be seen whether these
additions will be enough to make it stand out as well as its
predecessor did.
