Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Nikon D3100

First, let me preface that I in NO way count myself a photog. I am just a shutter bug who has been firing frames almost non-stop since the age of 18. I learned on my dad's 'old' Nikon SLR with an f/1.2 lens. The Nikon SLRs/DSLRs I have owned are: N50, N60, N55, N80 and D50. My N50 ad N80 had the best lenses. The N60 and N55 were not as great and the D50 was a fabulous entry-level digital. The only medium format camera I own is my Holga. But hey, unlike the photographer at Portrait Innovations, at least I know 'medium format' does not refer to the number of megapixels at which I am shooting. As for my working knowledge, I had three semesters of photography in college. I can process/print both B&W and color film. (Not that that does me any good these days LOL) I can shoot completely 'manual' and I have stood among many pro photographers on the bridge at sunset, waiting for the color to be just right on Half Dome. (My Bogen tripod was way too heavy to be practical for an amateur but it gave me street credit.) So, in a nut shell, I shoot by the 'Sunny 16' rule. I know that opening my f-stop should increase my shutter speed give me a shorter depth of field; and, per the great Ansel Adams, f/8 is a proper exposure for all pictures.That said, I hate my D3100.I have had metering issues since I opened the box. I bought the camera so I could take 'even better' pictures of my infant son than I was getting from my D50. Ha. Joke was on me.The contrast was BLINDING on the factory settings and every shot was over exposed. I have tried every metering option in the menu but the only changes I can achieve are under-exposure, blurred focus and missed shots. It's go high or go without.I always lower my ISO to 100 when I'm outside because I crave rich color but it's just not there. I have tried Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual. Nothing. f/16 over my film speed on a sunny day. That's supposed to work! I have used it on many a 'less complicated' camera and achieved photos that make jaws drop. Well, there's no jaw dropping with this camera.The metering overrides my manual choices every time. It's like I'm having a battle of wits with my camera. :( It reminds me of the days when Kodak was marketing 800-speed film as a universal, never-miss-a-shot solution to all your photo woes. Bleh. Just because there's always an image doesn't mean it's the RIGHT exposure.I get that being an entry-level/made-for-the-masses DSLR really does mean it's a glorified point-and-shoot but it should preform at least as well as it's predecessors. Honestly, I got far more reliable results from my Canon SureShot and a roll of Kodak 100.My expectation for a camera is that the image should be very close to perfect when the shutter closes. I know there's always room for improvement before printing but that's the art of photography. The hours I spend working on my photos after the shot should be to make them pop. Instead, my time is spent trying to rescue precious memories.If you are considering this camera as your first DSLR because you think it will improve your skills, skip it. Invest in an equally expensive point-and-shoot that will give you all the same manual controls and preform much better in low-light situations. The D3100 does not live up to the standards of a Nikon SLR.I gave it a second star because my son pulled mine off the counter about a year after I bought it and although the case cracked, it didn't seem to hurt the camera. Unfortunately, it impact didn't help it, either. (Yes, I was actually hopeful.)

So far so good. I bought this in addition to 2 Yongnuo YN568EX N speedlights I already own as I wanted one that I wouldn't need to change batteries so often as I do a lot of HSS. Build quality is slightly better than the Yongnuo's but not by much however these are half a stop more powerful even though they have the same guide number. I tested them in manual mode against 4 YN560-III's as well which are my most consistent speedlights and the Ving matched these perfectly. The YN568EX's are definitely slightly under powered in manual and iTTL mode when compared to the Ving. My YN568's need +1 compensation in iTTL mode but I found this Ving needed -1 as exposures were slightly hot.

The battery + a spare I bought were tested and I lost the will to live after about 400 mixed power pops on each and there was plenty of juice left.

When you buy ti may I suggest the first thing you do is go into the menu and change the power saving setting from 0 to 1 to stop the flash turning itself off too frequently.

Recieved yesterday and working perfectly with my nikon 3200.
The only problem is a design feature shared with most of these types
(The batteries compartment lid)
The pressure of four AA batteries will eventually snap the lid into pieces as it happened to my previous one.
Advice treat the lid with care and never leave batteries in if not in use that might help keep it intact. But trust me will happen.
Designer think about a solution in the future
Still deserve a five star

When I first saw this product, I thought it was too good to be true and know what, It exceeded expectations. For the money and the extra's it came with. It was well worth the money. It is the best piece of kit I have ever bought for my camera besides the actually camera itself. The remote and flash makes things easier when composing your shot getting your light right. The extra rechargeable battery and in-car charger kit means I can charge while on the go. The only really downer is the soft defuser can be a struggle to fit the flash. Its a tight fit and I rarely every use it. Everything in the kit is worth the money. If you get more of these with the remote kits, you will not need to purchase the SB900 Nissin flash guns. I will definitely purchase more of these when I have the chance or when I upgrade my camera. ITS A BRILLIANT PEICE OF KIT. 100% recommendation.

The Nikon D3100 14.2 MP Digital SLR camera is about as user-friendly as a camera can be without losing the features that everyone loves from a semi-professional SLR camera.What’s great about the D3100 is that it’s not only very lightweight, but it’s also extremely affordable. This fantastic combination makes it one of the top cameras on the market for families and home users that want a little professional touch to their photography and want to capture those special moments in style.The Nikon D3100 has a 3 inch monitor, one of the largest monitors for a camera of this size. The camera itself is just 7 inches wide and weighs about a pound, making it easy to carry and handle with one hand and also makes it great to take with you on your vacations. The monitor offers a full color display and One-Touch Live View shooting. This process makes the delay that other digital cameras experience during start-up almost non-existent.While, in the past, many professional photographers have been averse to the inclusion of video capture from such a fine camera, you’ll be delighted to hear that the Nikon D3100 has a 1080 pixel HD video component as the quality doesn’t take second place to functionality. You can actually get great quality video capture something that is becoming more and more popular for all-in-one devices.Nikon’s commitment to quality shows in this latest addition to the Nikon line. The D3100 has a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery and a charger that both come with the camera. It features an 8GB micro SDHC card with SD adapter to store those photos before you have them printed or print them yourself. Optical image stabilization and a scene recognition system make taking pictures easier than ever. The camera senses movement from your hands and helps to stabilize pictures so that you do not end up with blurred photos. It also optimizes focus, exposure and shutter speed to help you get the best pictures possible without you having to take a photography class. Instructions are included with the camera in both booklet and CD format. The camera contains its own Guide Mode that helps you with step-by-step instructions to compliment the lighting conditions and format of the photos that you are taking at any particular moment.The Nikon D3100 has 6 automatic scene exposure settings if you don’t want to take the time to adjust settings manually. It also includes facial detection technology that makes it easy to get your focus on the right subject in your photos. Facial detection keeps the camera from missing those all-important close-ups because of interference from objects around the subject of your photo. The Nikon D3100 also comes with a high sensitivity flash with a lens that’s included in Nikon’s one-year warranty. The flash allows for great pictures, no matter what the quality of lighting. Other lenses and other options are available through Nikon, and the camera is compatible with several Nikkor lenses.

I bought this d3100 body + kit lens one year ago, since I got it, I've been learning a lot about photography and I never felt limited by this body. I couldn't really understand why I would *need* more. After I bought the awesome Nikkor 35mm f1.8 prime lens I really knew that this was the best camera to get into photography.If you buy this however, you will eventually face two problems. The first, you have to buy new lenses, this is a dSLR and if you want to make it up for the price, the size and the weight, you have to find lenses that will make the difference. I'm talking about the difference between an entry-level dSLR and a bridge or even a Lumix with their nice leica lens and manual controls. This comes at an additional cost, you have to carry and pay the new lenses, the more you get into photography, the more you realize you NEED things like a new bag, a tripod, an external flash, etc. And we arrive to our second problem; At that moment, you will feel that you NEED this new Full Frame dSLR (in my case the d800), and you will find yourself stuck with incompatible lenses and a huge amount of money wasted.So, I feel that the more money I invest while sticking with the d3100, the more I waste money.Entry level dSLR are very limited:- In manual controls: fewer manual switches. This is not a problem for me as I find the software very handy.- In quality lenses: go for a prime or find out most lenses have serious flaws or are as expensive as a Full Frame dSLR- In response time: burst speed, shutter delay- In image quality: cropped sensorMoreover, they are quite bulky.The best camera is the one you always have on you. I would go back and buy a compact camera if I could, some models present the same controls as dSLR and are really impressive. I think the best option would be to have a really performant point and shoot, learn with it, and then buy a FX to really enjoy photography at the highest level.I took several good pictures with it last year, many critics (on /p/ board) praised me for some technical wise shot while acknowledging that DX are really bad. I could indeed see, with time, that a lot of pictures could be stunning, and after looking a while I saw that Full Frame dSLR can give me that. The same way as I thought any dSLR could give me a professional image quality over any point and shoot.To summarize, this is overpriced for a camera, buy a point and shoot to begin, you can learn as much on some of them and get amazing quality. The screen is really bad, it's really depressing to see that the quality of my photos look terrible on the screen compared to, say, the last coolpix from Nikon. If you think dSLR are just better, you are wrong, it just gives you the possibility of changing lenses and if you really want amazing capabilities, an entry-level like the d3100 will not give you anything like that.Now, if you reached this point and still feel the d3100 might be good for you, you should get it. The sensor might be important, and on a DX you will not get anymore quality as on the latest mirror-less camera. But the lens makes all the difference, if you are ready to invest in a few lenses and strongly feel you won't go the FX way that soon. I cannot but recommend getting this camera. It is very cheap for what it is, awesome lenses are available that will amaze you when looking at the resulting pictures. I did some comparison tests when I got my new lens, it really is like day and night, the kit lens should be viewed as a cheap versatile lens that lets you experiment and find out what you really want to do. Sports ? Buy a fast lens. Wild life ? Buy a long focal length lens. Portraits ? Wide aperture and a focal length slightly above the normal range. Etc. And in every category, the results will amaze you. THIS is the whole point of getting the d3100. Enjoying technical photography, understanding your hardware and produce amzing results.With a point and shoot you won't get that, it's just not specific enough and customizable enough. Sure a dSLR is huge, but the d3100 is quite light compared to other DX available on the market.If you cannot afford a FX camera or don't ever want to invest thousands of dollars in photography lenses and gears, I can't recommend more the d3100. If you ever find yourself sticking to this camera, get a point and shoot that you always carry with you as well, this is not an everyday camera at all. You will have to learn a lot about lenses and the technical aspect of photography, else you are a hipster looking to show off with an overpriced piece of gear that you don't understand and I'd strongly suggest you don't waste your money on it.This review is messed up, I just wrote it one shot and I don't expect people to like it, however I hope it will help people who are new to photography understand what dSLR are really about and if they really should get one because they saw the advertisement on TV.

The D3100 is a very nice camera, with tons of features that point-and-shoot's and regular camcorders don't have. For its price, its one of the best DSLR bargains out there.First, picture taking ability: I really like to take pictures, and although that's not the reason that I bought the D3100, I've got to say that Nikon really did a very good job of making photography enjoyable. It has an extremely wide range of options for every aspect of shooting: The shutter speed can be adjusted from 1/4000 of a second up to 30 seconds at a time, and the ISO can be adjusted all the way from 100 to 3200. With that being said though, I haven't really adjusted too many of the features as I take pictures- the automatic settings are that good!Everything about using the D3100 feels good, from the way it fits in your hand, to the way that the shutter clicks when it goes off (I know that sounds weird, but you have to try it to know what I mean). While my last camera, a Sony Cybershot, had the same resolution (14 megapixels) as my D3100, the D3100 takes much clearer shots, since, with it's larger image sensor, it filters our much more noise than any other camera I've ever had. This means that you can zoom into the shots that you've taken almost 1500% before you begin to notice any graininess in the image. Megapixels sound cool, but once you get above 7 or 8 megapixels you're better off looking for a camera with a large image sensor or nicer lens options. The D3100 has both.As far as the cons for the picture-taking mode go, I haven't found that many yet, my only complaint being that occasionally the camera will freeze up, and it won't take a picture, but instead will just keep shifting focus back and forth between the background and foreground. That's not that big of a deal, as it's only happened to me 3 times so far, and it can be fixed by switching to a different mode on the camera and switching back, but it has been annoying when it has happened, since you either miss your shot or have your subject get restless from standing still so long. It's not that big of a deal, but, like I said earlier, no camera is perfect.I've been using for about 6 months so far, and have been very impressed with it's video. One of the main things that I like about shooting video is that it is basically the same as snapping a picture. Rather than having a dedicated video mode like many cameras, the D3100 just has a red record button on it's back, which you can push to record video in whatever mode you happen to be in, which means that it's much quicker and easier to get nice looking shots. The only annoying thing I've found with the video mode so far is that it doesn't shoot clips longer than 10 minutes, but that's rarely an issue, unless you were to record an event like a church service, concert, or wedding. For most of what I (and, I assume, most other filmmakers) do, I never need a camera to record for more than a few minutes at a time. If you really wanted to film clips longer than 10 minutes, you could install third-party software on your camera to extend recording time, but, that would void your warranty, so I wouldn't recommend it, especially since Nikon put the 10 minutes limit on the camera so that it's CCD wouldn't overheat. If you want to shoot long events, you're better off buying a dedicated camcorder. Where the D3100 really comes into its own is with shallow depth of field shots that camcorders can't do. You rarely want shallow depth of field and long clips at the same time.I'm sure that hardcore photographers and videographers would want something nicer than the D3100, but for it's price it's an amazingly capable video and still camera, and once you buy it, you've gotten to the point where you would have to spend an extra thousand dollars or more to get any noticeable improvement in video or picture quality. You also have to think that, if today was 2004 or 2005, you couldn't even buy a camera with the capabilities of the D3100! Once you buy a camera of this quality, you'll be good for quite a while!

Our daughter complained for years that we didn't have a "GOOD" camera! So, when she graduated from college, and got her first job we bought her a "GOOD" camera, and she absolutely LOVES this one! Now my husband and I disagree about what constitutes and good camera - we've had Lumix's and Canon's, but she has wanted cameras where she could change out the lenses, and do more actual "artistic" photography! More power to her!This is a good one because it has menus on board - to let her know what to do while she's taking pics - so she can learn as she goes, but it also came with a good manual, and plenty of online resources. The lenses are pricier than the Canon lenses, but after doing some research, I felt they were also better lenses, and she was getting more bang for the buck!At first it seemed like I was paying more for a similar Canon camera, but when I actually saw what the two cameras could do, there was no question in my mind that I wanted her to have the Nikon! It was everything she wanted - great variety of lenses, shake control, pop up light - or you can add add'l pro lighting and props, etc. It's everything from everyday to a low end pro camera. Perfect to a entry level high end camera for the more persnickity camera aficionado! I was thrilled to be able to get it for her ... she most certainly earned it after graduating 10th in her H.S. class of 400 with an International Baccalaureate Degree, and a National Merit Scholar. Then going on to graduate from the Ohio State University with double majors in Management and Operations with Honors, and getting offers from her 1st two choices of companies - Amazon and Eaton Corp! She had to turn one down - Amazon - have you seen their crazy warehouse operations?! Yikes! Anyway she's very happy where she is, and will be doing a rotation once every year for the first 3 years with Eaton, and then hopefully be offered the job of a lifetime - depending on what is available at the time - she'll be in the pool with all else at the time.But in the meantime with all the moving around she'll have plenty of time to get to know and use her great new camera! I can't wait to see what she comes up with! As soon as this posts, I have some posts I'll move over here from some of the pics she's done so far! Fun girl stuff! Cant wait till her trip to TX = she's never been and plans to do the whole cowgirl experience! LOLSorry if this got too personal and not enough camera oriented -- I'll ammend after I re-read - I'm punchy right now ... It's 5:04 AM and I've been up over 24 hrs zzzzzzz!

very good little kit, managed to finally use every thing in this kit, this Christmas, the flash is very good and i used the remote triggers which are so very handy XD

Very happy with this flashgun works well with my Nikon d7100 comes with extras and for the price is fantastic I recommend you check out YouTube where you can find out how best to use this flash gun from other photographers great product good luck

Excellent Flash unit, works great on or off Mt Nikon D5300, so powerful, remote setup brilliant, very easy to use. Unbelievable value.

I have come to the conclusion that most of the reviewers of this camera do not own any other cameras with which to make a competent and accurate comparison! Unless you are looking at a review from a professional site that does nothing but camera reviews, most consumer reviews have to be taken with a grain of salt! You have to keep in mind that for a review to have meaning, you must know what camera(s) the consumer is comparing the D3100 to and if the photos are being taken under similar conditions. Comparing the D3100 to a 6MP Canon is useless and so is comparing photos that are shot under different lighting conditions or using different ISO settings or different lenses (zoom versus wide angle).I am not going to go into all of the details as to which camera has what features since my primary concern is picture quality followed by video quality. Features are great but would rather have fewer features but better photos and videos!I took all four cameras, put them on a tripod and shot photos using the standard 18-55mm kit lens that came bundled with the camera. I took photos of a house on the side of a hill that is located about 500 yards away and then enlarged the resulting JPEG files on my computer using a 23" HP LCD screen. I did not print them out but viewed them at 200-300% to check out every bit of detail. I used ISO speed from 100 to 3200 to get an idea of how well the noise reduction worked on each camera without sacrificing image quality,RESULTS: The best camera from ISO 100 to 1600 - Sony A3000. The second best - Canon T3i ( not as good as the Sony from ISO 100-1600, but just a little better than the Sony at 3200), third place goes to to the Olympus E-PL1 which did very well when you consider that it has a 12mp sensor versus the others that range from 14.2MP to 20.1MP. In LAST place is the Nikon D3100.The D3100 is better than my old Nikon D40x for sure but not as good as any of the other cameras I used in this comparison. You could say that it is not fair since the Nikon has 14.2MP and the others that rated better have 18-20MP. But then, the Olympus with 12.3MP also did better than the D3100!In terms of Video quality, the Canon T3i and Sony A3000 are pretty close with the T3i being slightly better. The Olympus PL1 fell to last place because the output is in 720p when all the others are 1080p. Nikon D3100 took third place in video quality.Hope that helps a little in clearing up some of the picture quality issues between at least this batch of cameras.

Excellent value for money, even if you only use the flash gun. However all the additions allow the creation of a "small" studio.

The kit haven't got much instructions...U have to download instructions or watch it in utube! Not happy at all

I've not long had the flash so I won't go into all the technical details and repeat what everyone else has said here. I'm happy with the build quality and the way the product works. On camera Nikon D5200, off camera with a cord and with a pair of Yongnuo YN-622N for wireless. i-TTL just works, no fuss or bother there, and manual operation does what it should. The battery solution is perfect, so that's one set of rechargeables less that I have to mess about with. The manual is fairly well written. Overall happy with the purchase, will be saving up for another.

I have still to go through all the variations in the menu but what I have done leaves me very impressed

This is a very comprehensive addition to my photographic hobby, I can design lighting conditions with the slave flash for my portrait subjects. Most of the initial use will inevitably be trial and error but the hardware is in place ready for me to progress, I have deflectors to utilise and this set of slaves will enhance my efforts. As I said this is all one may need or even want but I am very pleased with it's quality and performance so far. Why only 4 stars ? for long sessions battery use is heavy. Well made with a very good price.

Excellent kit. Very high value for money. Flash is excellent and all the accessories that come together fit for propose and have a nice quality.

Amazing piece of kit for an amazing price. Very well built and useful accessories. Yes the manual is a bit useless at times - thanks to the person about silencing the beep (How did you find that out!!) I buy fair amount of Neewer - all good value. Hooked up to 5200 works a treat.
Invited to do a wedding and despite the fear / nerves it didn't let me down - good natural lighting coming via the TTL. Highly recommend.

This is a great third party product I have two nikon cameras D90 and D7200, this product works well with D90 just minor tweaks needed to settings. However with the D7200 its just about perfect. I was a little concerned buying a third party product, but was not willing to pay £300 plus for the speed light 910. I need not have worried this works just fine. practise is the key. Very happy thinking of buying a second for multiple flash set ups.

love this,the manual,is virtually useless,so youtube came in handy,i am not a professional,but,love the power and versatility,still,learning it but,hey,youtube everyone,who,find the manuals,nonsensical!

Poorly translated instructions. Cabling connections not compatible. Very disappointed, am returning product.

Excellent flash in both automatic and manual modes. Works as a slave when triggered by another flash unit. Not tried the remote units yet but have every confidence. Neewer produce excellent products at a much lower price than original manufacturers and always good quality.

I was most pleasantly suprised when I recieved the flash outfit it was exactly as described, it seems well made, robust and has a good weight to it.
All of the shots I have used it for so far have been perfectly exposed and the second battery is a great bonus. As yet I have not used the wireless trigger but it will be put to good use in future multi flash shoots.
