Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Nikon D3100

I got this as my first "high-end" camera, for $699 back in 2011. It's been great, although i didn't use it to the potential I first imagined (beautifully fog-lit landscapes, macro curiosities, wildlife, etc.) Really, it's been used to document our family's 8 grandchildren, none of whom are mine. Also some wonderful outside shots and event pictures.It's not always as sharply focused as I want it to be - particularly when using it at work for some fine-detailed product photos. Then again I'm still not expert at the settings.

Written from the perspective of someone who has taken photos all her life with small, cheap cameras:This was a scary investment for me, at first. I had recently used a Nikon D3000, and I liked the quality of the images it snapped. Once I decided to make the purchase, I was unable to find D3000, so I stepped up to the D3100. I purchased some additional lenses, and the entire investment was about $1000.00I was willing and ready to purchase the D5100, but upon comparison, found that the resolution in the D3100 was admirable, and perhaps better, than that of the other model. I have been extremely happy with the pictures I have taken so far, with only two complaints about the camera in general.First, the shutter is noisy. Someone had told me that before I purchased the camera, and at the time I had though, "how noisy can a camera be?" But now, after having shot thousands of pictures for school events and family functions with this camera, I concur. Sometimes, settings are quiet, and the photographer seeks not to disturb an audience. However, with this camera, there is no "sneaking up" to surprise a subject. Every photo you snap will be announced by a loud snap and clickclickclick.Finally, my larger complaint - one fact that I wish I had known before I purchased the camera - is that there is quite a delay when photographing in low light. That several second delay may mean the difference between a great shot and a grand blur of an image. I photograph my toddler grandchildren frequently - many low-light attempted shots of their high-energy antics has resulted in really bad pictures. Granted, a flash would correct the problem, but sometimes the light of a flash kills the artistic aspect of a photo.There are some great features which offset my two complaints. Primarily, the automatic settings of this camera will make any newbee photographer more self-confident. Another "plus" is that this camera has an automatic lense-cleaning feature -- the lense shimmies at a high-frequency rate to loosen dust. It's pretty cool, especially considering I often forget to check the lense for dust. Finally, there are cross-hairs in the view-finder which allow one to point the camera and know exactly how the subject will appear in the image. I understand that not all cameras have this ability.Would I purchase this camera again? Absolutely. However, now that I am aware of the low light shutter issue, I intend to trade up and purchase a Nikon with better low light ability. But for someone who has never owned a DSLR camera, this is a great first camera!

I recently purchased the D3100 and have taken some shots in a variety of conditions. I have not yet had the opportunity to dive into the full feature set. Initial impressions:Pros: Very nice image quality (my primary concern), easy to use, includes reasonable editing software.Cons: Nikon is bit stingy when packing the box (no USB cable, no memory card at all); no exposure bracketing feature.So far, I have been very pleased with the images coming from the D3100. The colors are true and vibrant. It handles light and shadow well. The captured detail is impressive. I haven't "pushed" this camera yet with higher ISO shots or other more demanding techniques / settings however, I suspect that many of this camera's users, if not most, will not have the need or desire to wander too far away from the "Auto" setting, which does a very capable job in variety of conditions. The flash works well with the camera and there is a minimum of the "over exposed" or "glare" look that is commonly seen in family flash photography.This camera at its most basic level is dead simple to use: point and shoot. The camera may look intimidating to those who haven't previously used a full featured film camera or a DSLR but, pick it up, set it to "Auto", snap a few frames and you'll both feel much more comfortable with it and intrigued to learn more about its other capabilities. This camera is targeted for the entry DSLR market and anyone moving up from a compact point-and-shoot camera will immediately recognize the difference in image quality.The Nikon software was also easy to use and can really bring out the impact in your shots. The software installed without problem on my mac. Through the software, I was able to pull additional depth and detail from the initial captured image (I used RAW format for capturing). I did use the default JPEG as well and I doubt that many family photographers will have any complaint with those images. Again, the various sliders and options in the software can seem daunting at first, but you will be rewarded by playing around with settings (you won't ruin anything). As mentioned previously, through the software, I was able to take some images that would have been OK and make them compelling. I am not saying that they will be hanging in a gallery soon, just that they are far more visually interesting than they were and with a minimal amount of effort. The images included people, nature, indoors and out.I am not completely sold on the auto focusing, especially when the subject is in motion. I haven't used it enough in these circumstances to fairly comment, just something that has initially popped up as an item to explore further. For the record, the images in question seemed sharp though not quite what I had anticipated. It is too early to hang AF from my uses, though.I have not used (and have no immediate intention of using) the video feature. I have a video camera that shoots video well. Personally, I'd rather have additional still features (auto bracketing) than video. I understand that there may be a desire to pack everything within one device from a marketing perspective. However, I am of the mind that a device ought to focus on its primary mission and forgo additive items that it does less well.I have no understanding of why Nikon would not include a USB cable to connect the camera to your computer. Fortunately, the cable is not proprietary and I was able to reuse an existing cable from another camera. How exactly does Nikon propose that you transfer your images from the camera to your machine for use with the included Nikon software? That just doesn't make sense when the cable that I reused came included with a camera that cost $400 less than the D3100.Overall, I am very happy with the image quality (which makes the omission of bracketing even more noticeable), the ease of use, and the included software. I would have liked a starter memory card in the box and am really surprised that it did not include a USB cable. The price for value relationship needs some improvement, though the product itself is solid. This would be a good way to get into the DSLR segment for those moving up from compact point and shoot.

OMG, the best. Words can not express this item. It is the best. I love love love this camera. I am still learning how to use it but it is wonderful. Thanks. You can not go wrong with this Nikon D3100.

It works wonderfully, and takes beautiful pictures. When I was looking at the images on the camera's screen, I wasn't very impressed - but once they were on my computer I could see how great they really were!

I love my camera! Not problems at all with this refurbished camera. Cannot even tell at all that it's used! Perfection. The camera came packaged in its original box with all the pieces and booklets and CDs.

This camera was purchased as a gift to an associate in our company. Deliver was on time and the kit was as advertised. Our associate was well pleased with the gift.

I'm a begginner whith a machine of this type and I find that is a very good itemLet me reccomend to buy the boock of Jeff Revell " Nikon D3100 from Snapshots t great shots", is a good complement to the user's mannual provided whith teh camera

My daughter has a great eye for taking amazing photographs. After using her Kodak easy share for a few years, we decided it was time to upgrade to a better camera to help with her nature photography. This is a great beginner camera, easy to use out of the box and still surprising her with all the features.

Excellent camera for an enthusiast who is ready to go to the next level. The quality of this camera and the pictures it takes is magnificent. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great DSLR at a very good price. The really nice thing is that there are 2 really good lenses included - everything you need to get started.

It didn't come with the instruction manual or the neck strap. Not sure if seller stated that, but I could sure use the manual!

So I just noticed that these are the same comments on t3i page? Even has the same Amt 819 . That's weird!

For people looking for new DSLR camera, stop, this is it. It has none of the D3000 drawbacks: Fast buffer, never overloaded. When intentionally overloaded by myself on continous shots, it will clear the buffer very fast(ADL on if you're wondering). Image sensitivity at high ISO is great acording to random reviwes, but I'm still waiting a prof test. But think about it, on Auto ISO the range goes to 3200 - WOW, and I can't see any noise. You can shoot everything with it, but you need a flash - SB 400 will do.Cool stuf:You can take photos from the liveview LCD screen. I shot a few movies and seem great, in focus most of the time. I don't care much about video, I have a video camera HD.You can still set AUTO ISO from the menu and set minimum shutter speed. Downside is you cannot override the AUTO ISO in any mode including Manual. You have to change it back to off from menu and than loose time figuring out which is the best ISO/aperture/shutter speed.For shortcomings, I have to look hard but here they are:(BTW I've been using it daily for 1 week)1. LCD sceen has a lower resolution and one cannot see if the foto taken is slightly out of focus - bummer, but they have to save some features for the D5100.2. No bracketing - who brackets anymore? 3 pics of each just to be 100% sure seems a waste of memory card and time (deleting the other2. We are talking about exposure bracketing, not focus bracketing BTW.)3. ADL only on or off - lol, if you really are worried about small shadows and highlits you can always add more ADL from the retouch menu in the camera, after you take the photo. Or on photoshop or iPhoto etc. On is plenty for the prosumer ;)4. Easy to get image out of focus: one can change the focus point from the screen by pressing the arrows from the OK ring. You use the OK ring a lot and if the LCD screen has returned to ready to shoot position and you press the ring one more time(goof) the image now focuses to the right/left/up/down depending on what you pressed. Combined with a low resolution LCD in the hands of a beginer = out of focus images. Just pay attention.I'm still waiting for standard high ISO tests to confirm my love for this camera. Best camera for travelers, no questions. If you want more get ready to bend your neck hauling close to 2 lbs of gear. Not me. BTW buy the 35mm 1.8 lens for low light/no flash IT BLOWS YOUR MIND.*Update 1 year later:I downgraded the rating from 5 to 3 stars. I have beed using my camera for one year now and I wanted to sell it.1. Unknown to us initially there is an problem with the sensor's software: it overexposes the pictures frecvently on auto ISO, especially in difficult light situations with high contrast. Nikon's response was that it is not an error but rather they changed the algorithm which calculates exposure on purpose. They wanted a good camera for low light. What happens in practice is that on Auto ISO (which most people use) the camera will push the ISO very high even in bright sun (will do 400-1600 ISO !!). Huge issue - burnt highlights - no way to recover it (maybe bracketing is missed after all: Worse off, the problem is the same with the D7100 and to a lesser degree D5100 (acording to reviews). NIKON, NIKON...Why did you change the algorithm????????? Updates to original camera software do not fix the problem - it is not considered a problem by Nikon. My next camera will be a Cannon T2i or whatever will be available from that series. It is more expensive but now it's worth it given this exposure issue. The only solution I found,a compromise, is to limit the range of auto ISO from 100 to say 200 or 400. This pretty much makes high ISOs useless and guess what ISOs your photo's will have? The max ISO you set.2. The LCD is moderately scratched and blurry from whear which adding to the low resolution - yep, hard to see if picture is in focus. I did not overuse the camera or abuse it. I am an amateur photographer and I wear it on my side (over shouder) or across - so there is allways rubbing with the clothes. And I'm not using the standard Nikon strap (which is too short for comfort and slides off your shouder) rather the smaller UP strap (which is great).I didn't want to write the upadate initailly but I felt it is my responsability not to mislead but inform everyone about what I know (which is not much). Take care.

I have purchased unfortunately to many cameras!! This is my last one easy use for a beginner and I am very excited about 3 pictures per second for my kids sporting events crystal clear!!

For many years, I used a Nikon FG, which was a mid-level camera. Took great pictures if you knew what you were doing, but of course it was a film camera. Then came digital cameras. For the last 10 years, I was basically using point and shoot cameras, which were great for general landscapes. No longer being interested in standing in darkrooms inhaling photo processing chemicals, I opted for a digital SLR where I could do any further processing on the computer. As a birthday gift to myself, I got the Nikon D3100. Took it out the first few days and achieved less than thrilling results; my point & shoots gave me better pictures. So I took a look at the manual which helped only marginally. I don't think it was orginally written in English and may have lost some in the translation.Common sense told me that Nikon couldn't have put out a $500+ camera that only takes so-so pictures. I looked on Amazon and found 3 books written especially for this camera, and I bought one. Nikon D3100 Digital Field Guide. Going over just the first few chapters of this book made a huge difference. I'm now getting incredible images. My problem was that photography had progressed immensely while I was playing around with the point & shoots. This camera takes advantage of these new advances, plus it sounds like it's made a few advances of its own. It's a very sophisticated camera, but it's also initially complicated, and there is a learning curve. The book explains the camera in detail using plain English, and as a result I'm learning a lot about the camera and about digital photography in general, even though I thought I knew a lot.I am only now beginning to appreciate this camera. It provides you with an incredible amount of control, from very subtle to blatantly obvious. The display on the back of the camera provides technical information, easy to use menus, and allows you to zoom in on the images to make sure they are in focus and to check on exposure of details or shadows. The 18-55mm lens included in the kit is great except that the maximum aperature opening is 3.5 (I was used to 1.8 on my old Nikon). The auto focusing gives you many options, and when used correctly, the focusing is perfect and sharp. As with all autofocus lenses, the manual focusing is touchy and not at all like the old manual lenses, however, I've really not had much need to focus manually, so it's not much of an issue.Although it can be used as such, it's not a point & shoot camera, and therefore it is somewhat bulky. And unlike my old FG, it's mostly plastic. I think that's life nowdays; plastic is king. The neckstrap is kind of cheesy. The camera kit comes with a battery (I might get a second in case, but I'm surprised at how long it does last), and a plug-in charger. Included in the box is software for manipulating your pictures on the computer. I haven't installed this yet because I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 (Win/Mac), although at some point I may try it just for fun. There is also another disk which is an extended version of the printed manual; basically it suffers from the same problem as the printed one. What doesn't come with the camera is the USB cable, which I think stinks. Fortunately I had one from an old Palm Pilot that worked. The camera, by the way, does include 2 ferrite cores. I had to research what those were; they wrap around near one end of the USB cable to prevent interference when uploading your pictures. Considering using it because without it I kept getting uploading errors.I didn't plan on writing this much, but really there is much to say about this camera. Bottom line is that I really like it.

This item has been on the market for a while and is still going strong. That alone should tell you something if you're considering buying one. I bought this for my wife on her birthday (2 birthday's ago actually). She loves it, it takes great photos and still operates like brand new. If you need a more extensive review, there are plenty of them out there. Great SLR product, great SLR price.

It's awesome!!! I don't think I'd pay for a better camera than this, as a college student, this is what I want. It's my first SLR camera and I love it, it's worth what I paid for it. I've had it for 3 weeks already and I'm enjoying it...

For the average consumer this camera is flawed by design. While I love many things about this camera, the overall number mistakes Nikon has made with this model has caused me to want to switch to Canon. My first review was scathing but I took it down. After some more experience with the camera I am back with yet another fairly scathing review. If you are an aspiring beginner taking classes this might be a great choice. The price is amazing, and once you learn the finer points of photography this camera can be used to take some amazing pictures.The primary problem with this camera is its Auto ISO sensitivity setting. Unless you turn this off two bad things happen. First your manual ISO settings are completely ignored. Second, the camera resorts to very high ISO settings when it should not. This means if you are a casual photographer who likes to use automatic or semi-automatic modes you might be unhappy with the results. I have been in several situations where ISO 100 or 200 would have been the best choice and this silly camera resorted to 800 or higher. To its credit, the camera does a decent job at these higher ISO settings, but unfortunately these are not the settings I want. I cannot trust this camera to select an appropriate ISO setting automatically.The silver lining here is the education this camera will force onto its owners. I am finding the best way to use this camera is to disable the Auto ISO sensitivity, turn the dial to "M" and leave it there forever. Don't look back! The resulting experience and results are quite refreshing! Using the D3100 in this completely manual fashion reminds me of using my old Pentax K1000. I'm back to the joyful routine of selecting each and every setting manually. The only problem is that I have now ruined entire photo-shoots and missed a number of shots. Sometimes one must learn the hard way but at least I wont be making those same mistakes again. The end result is that I am becoming a much better photographer.The plastic flimsy body is a downer. On my D3100 getting the battery into the camera doesn't feel quite right. The battery remains spring loaded and sticks up out of the body. One must then force the flimsy battery cover closed after inserting the battery. Inserting and removing memory cards also has a weird feel as the card seems to get stuck and requires some extra force to remove it. The D3100's buttons are so cheap feeling its as if they are going to fall right off.So, for everyone except students and professionals I would not recommend this camera, or any Nikon. Canon is effectively obliterating Nikon in just about every way. That said the underlying guts of the D3100 have merit and should be considered, especially at this low price. The low-light performance is very impressive and the 18-55 kit lens isn't bad at all. At the end of the day the D3100 can be used to take amazing photographs if the owner manually takes control. I am taking some amazing pictures with this camera but in general I am looking forward to getting rid of my lenses and this body so I can switch to Canon.

So much in a little package, what a great, compact Camera. The Nikon D3100 exceeded my expectations and then some.

As a beginner DSLR, this camera definitely takes a good quality image with strong colors, and is quite affordable. If it's your first SLR, it is a great introduction.I began with Nikon's D40 and moved to this when the size limitations of a 6 MP image became a hindrance to my expanding photography (and print) interests. Given that this model is newer by several years, I expected improvements across the board, but this was not the case.Things I was surprised to see lacking in the features list:Bracketing--an easy feature to implement, not included on this cameraVideography--now becoming a standard on SLR still cameras, this one supports full 1080p video, but only for 10 minute clips. 10 minutes is plenty of time for taking a quick video at a family gathering or vacation, but the limit gets in the way of experimenting with more serious work. The limitation is silly, and removes this camera from practical commercial use.Remote camera control--not the rf trigger; it supports that. I mean shooting tethered for things like stop-motion photography work. Every single Nikon SLR camera (including the old D40) supports this feature, except the D3000 and D3100.Things I was unpleasantly surprised by when shooting:The Auto mode on this camera does not perform as well as the old D40. I found that photos taken on auto were very frequently less saturated and closer to blown out or plugged than I am accustomed to. Setting the camera manually gave me great results.The camera's choice in ISO is ludicrous. Outdoors, noontime, in full sunlight, at 55mm, F5.6, the camera handed me ISO 2200. It very consistently strove to ramp up the ISO to unnecessary levels, favoring sensitivity over shutter speed.The noise. Partly because of the tendency to bump the ISO higher, but in general, I found that every one of the thousands of frames I've shot so far in *every* lighting condition, has a lot of noise. Perhaps this is a product of the 14 MP sensor, compared to the 6 I am used to...but it is a severe chore to set everything manually every frame or clean up all of the noise in post. (Noise reduction has been turned on throughout)So, to sum up: The D3100 has all of the basic SLR functions, none of the advanced ones, creates bland looking photos 70% of the time on auto, and is capable of taking great looking pictures but is noisy. If you're looking for a first SLR camera, the price is right, and it's definitely a camera that can be reasoned with. But as an upgrade to a camera that did everything well but was showing its age? Not an adequate replacement.

I learned photography in the early 1970's on a 35mm Miranda Sensorex SLR. Lost interest in the hobby for a long time, then got back into it in 2009. Wow, have things changed! I have been using a Panasonic LX3 since December 2009 with very good results (fast Leica glass on the LX3) and was ready to get back into an interchangeable lens camera. After doing a lot of hands on research, I decided on the D3100.I've had mine for two weeks now and for the most part, I am impressed. The D3100 takes excellent images on automatic with the kit lens. Composition is much easier with a proper viewfinder and the larger sensor makes obtaining shallow depth of field simple. My semi-pro photographer friends have all commented that my images with the D3100 are more creative, more artistic and much better than with the LX3.Personally, I can see the enhanced creativity in my D3100 images but I feel there is little difference in image quality between the two cameras. A bit of a disappointment on that regard (I was hoping for sharper images) but others who have viewed my images disagree with me, so maybe I am being overly critical. One thing I have discovered is the D3100's abilities far exceed mine when I take it off automatic - in other words, there is a steep learning curve going manual on this camera. I have a lot to learn about exposure so I feel that the D3100 will be a great tool to help me enhance my photographic skills.I am a bit disappointed in the build quality - the SD card door is flimsy and moves around a bit when closed, the lens creaks. The all metal LX3 has much better build quality than the D3100. To be fair, the D3100 has better build quality than the Canons I tested.The D3100 feels great in my hands and is very nice to use. The ergonomics are perfect. I tested the D5100 and the D90 as well as all the Canon Rebels. Of all of them, the D3100 felt the best.I considered getting the D5100 for its better sensor and screen, but the actual real world price difference was $400 (D5100 was being sold above sticker, D3100 was sold to me with a $100 Nikon rebate and an additional 10% discount from the retailer) and that was a significant savings.The 230k screen is adequate, not great, but acceptable.Overall, I am pleased. I am looking forward to learning how to get the most out of this camera and I definitely feel it will help me grow as a photographer.Update, 6/1/11: After reading Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure", I am now shooting on full manual controls with my D3100. I set shutter speed, aperture, ISO and white balance for every shot. I also purchased the superb Nikkor 35mm f1.8 prime lens and a Tamron 70-300 telephoto zoom lens. With my newly acquired knowledge about setting exposure, the images I am taking with the D3100 are excellent. Images taken with the prime lens are tack sharp, that lens is amazing. The Tamron set to 70 mm also takes sharp images (images taken with the Tamron at 70 mm are sharper than the kit lens and the Tamron does not get soft until 300mm). With just a little post processing (I am using the View NX software that came with the camera), I can get the images from the kit lens to look incredible. I am extremely satisfied with this camera and I highly recommend it.

When I first received this camera as a teen, I was in love. It was the finest camera I had ever had, but I had no idea how to use it! The concept of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, were all but alien to me at the time. This camera did a great job at teaching me how to handle a DSLR, and better DSLRs to come. The interface is all about education, and for the price and the camera's hardiness, it's a worthy investment.

The Nikon D3100 can be used as a simple point and shoot camera in it's automatic mode or by using the command wheel it is instantly set up for special shots like portrait, fast action, children playing Etc. OR you can take complete control of aperture, shutter speed and other more technical details associated with digital photo processing.It's a good value for the money

Let me make it perfectly clear that I am NOT a photographer nor in any profession relating to photography. I bought the camera because I have always been interest in photography and this was my 2012 Christmas gift to myself. From the very first photo that I took, I was in absolute awe. I had no idea that there was a camera that existed that would allow me to take such clean, crisp photos as afforded me by the Nikon D3100. I was torn between the Canon t3 and Nikon d3100, but decided on the D3100 because I was far more familiar with Nikon's camera reputation. Thus it has been almost elementary in the way that I have been able to grasp the use of features and techniques. When I say elementary, I mean ease of use. I am in love with my camera and highly recommend it for new professional camera users.
