Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Nikon D3100

Этот фотоаппарат - моя первая зеркалка. Поэтому каких либо профессиональных комментариев дать не смогу... Качество снимков по сравнению с "мыльницей" Canon - просто шикарные! Это не "минус", но надо иметь ввиду, что оригиналы снимков занимают очень много места на компьютере. Для снимков придется выделять отдельный съёмный диск или записывать на диски для хранения. Иначе вся память будет очень быстро забита снимками.Этот аппарат надо изучать. Просто сделать снимки на автомате - легко и просто. Но там очень большие возможности, которые стразу не постигнуть.

I only shot about 100 snaps of this, and while still early, this is the best flash I've used.
I hope it will hold well with years of use. It seems to be of high-ish quality plastic, and literally SMELLS good (its not funny, the smell of different types of plastic gives away quite a lot for their quality, due to different chemical additives, softerners, plastificators, etc)

Overall, the quality of light is perfect (about 5600-5700K) and recharges like a champ. It is much more powerful and fast charging than an SB600 and even SB910 which I've used extensively, no matter what batteries you use in the original Nikon flashes. Being much more powerful was expected (I do not know why Nikon cheapens SO MUCH on their flashes, but every single chinese flash is better, for 1/10th of the price of Nikon's). What is unexpected for me is that the white balance is so good (well its still brand-spanking-new).
The light distribution, however, is not that perfect. There is room for improvement, especially on the wide end, under 30mm. Being high power helps with distant headshots and provides all that's needed for a perfect portrait, but when I try shooting large groups of people and have to resort to 18mm, with the provided wide-filter, the light on the bottom is a tad scarce, and the bottom left and right corners are nearly dark. Of course direct flash is rarely used, and as such this is still a 5/5 star flash for me (and better than SB910 which says a lot!)

The auto-focus assist is good, not up to Nikon's flashes level (they use more sophisticated patterns), but is good enough for center dot autofocus on my D3300 in almost impossible shots. So this works as needed. If you use a D810, then maybe you will need to step-up your autofocus game, I cannot comment on those fancy complicated autofocus systems. For the simplest D3000/D3100/D3200/D3300 this flash gives you almost perfect reference for center autofocus (maybe for different modes as well, I use center-dot only).

The best feature for me is the slave optical triggering, which works with my D3300's stock flash. You hold the Neewer flash in your hand and pop the small stock flash, and both fire in your shot. Works well and provides even more illumination, and helps you get almost studio light on the go. Win-win. (I do not use wireless flash, but this flash supports it and its quite complicated and has a lot of choices)

The buttons are not lit (enchancement request for a future version please). They CLICK very well. You know you've clicked it trough good feedback. However, the round button does not register so well and minor adjustments of output are harder, since you often dial more or dial less than what you wanted, due to the poor quality rotating knob. This is maybe the only thing about the whole package which feels low quality

The LCD display is easy to read, seems high quality and has a good amount of backlight, if deserved (off by default)
The test button has a nice soft glow (maybe this is the only part which uses battery when in standby, besides internal electronics).
The internal electronics goes very quickly in standby (while flash IS READY to fire), which I guess is to save battery and I welcome it. What I mean by this is - leave it for 5sec, and then zoom your lens - the flash idles. If you half-press your camera shutter - then the flash zooms. If you re-zoom again, the flash continues to zoom in and out in realtime with you. I quickly got accustomed by this and I actually like it - it is silent if you leave it for 5sec, yet its ready to zoom and fire when you need it. Saving battery is even better (because I re-zoom a lot and do not want my flash constantly moving in and out, wasting battery, plus wearing out, after all this is chinese made quality inside)

The head rotates with tight fit, effort required, I like it, it click every 10 or so degrees (has degrees embossed in the plastic! these tiny details make me smile and be happy with the purchase)
The up/down function is not so tight and maybe overtime will loose even further. This is maybe the only thing I see that might degrade over time. We will see how its gonna hold up.

Initially I pushed the white paper/ish thingie (sorry forgot the word for it) past the wide deflector, while taken out, and it remained hidden in the flash head. I used a thin object to take it out (the paper thingie has a small square hole maybe for this emergency).
I thought this is a major design flaw. Then I noticed that while the wide deflector is pushed in, the flash does not zoom! I got scared it is broken and I would have to ship it back. Hustling with the buttons and the whole assembly I found in about 10min that the wide plastic deflector has to be pushed down, and IT CLICKS to show its hidden away. Then the zoom started working. It is my fault for not thinking of that, but its a good idea to be in the guide (that you need t

I bought this because I had heard good things about the recycle time with it having a Li-On battery. The fact it uses the same trigger as my AD-360 was also a bonus.

The flash itself is very well made and it feels like it would stand up to professional use. The display is easy to understand. The first annoyance though is the short sleep time. The lack of instructions meant I had to ask on the Internet to find out how to change this setting.

Using my trusty light meter the V860 is just as powerful as my Nikon SB-910. It does recharge quicker. I didn't measure it using a stopwatch but I'd say the SB-910 is 3-4 seconds and the V860 is 2-3 seconds approximately.

Confusingly the trigger and receiver say "Power" when it really should say group. Turning the dial changes the group, not the power. I've no idea why Godox have done this. My older triggers for my AD-360 say "Group" on them.

However I found that TTL mode consistently underexposed by about 1 stop. If you google around you will see many people complaining about this. Of course you can just dial +1 into the camera but that's a bit annoying and should be easily fixed.

During my first wedding however I found that the flash's recycle speed simply didn't give me the ability to take more photos in quick succession. In fact the SB-910 seemed to perform better and more consistently. This I felt was the straw that broke the camels back. What's the point in having a fast recycle if it cannot keep up when a AA powered SB-910 can.

The Li-On battery becomes a useless luxury really. AA's are ubiquitous so if you run out, you can buy them from almost any store. Unlike the Ving battery. I tend not to use more than one set of AA's at a wedding so I don't need the extra capacity of the Li-On battery.

so ultimately I sent the flash back for a refund and have decided instead to get a cheaper flash that uses AA's. Shame really. It had potential.

I want to love this flash but somehow can't. There are a few things which really let it down:

1. Over heating. If you fire too many full power pops with this flash it kicks into over heat mode. What that means is it slows you down and will only fire once every 10ish seconds. The main problem with this is that if it's in overheat mode and so you reduce down the power it still will only fire 1 flash every 10 seconds. Even if that flash is only at 1/128 power. There's also no way of disabling it in the menu system. Sometimes to me the shot is more important then the flash and I'm willing to take my chances, there is no way to turn off the over heat protection in this situation. One slight hack I did notice though is that it's done on number of flashes and not actual heat. Thus if you turn it off and on again it resets the over heat protection.

2. Gelling. There's no easy way to gel this flash and no gel cover. I love the little plastic ones on my SB900's as they make gelling a piece of piss. This one is back to the old velcro tricks

3. It's not fully compatible with PW's. It kinda works with the Flex TT5's but you need to make sure you turn the trigger on before the flash. Also if you leave it too long without flashing then it will somehow stop working, almost like it goes to sleep but the display is still on. Turn the flash off and on again and it comes back to life but obviously that's a problem if it's in a remote location!

The flashlight came with a frame in the light section detached on the day the product arrived, which shook around when the camera moved. It annoyed me very quickly but it's pretty easy to take off the front two built in flash diffusers with a blunt knife if you're careful. Once I clicked the frame into place and the two diffusers were pushed back on and the product worked like it always should have. The flashlight itself is great, but just be warned that it may arrive with poorly attached components... at least it did for me.

However, as I said, the product itself is great and the flash is ace for the price

P.S. Yes I know I could have sent it back and got a new one, but I'm a very impatient human being

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.

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.

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.
