  • Lots of features that put it ahead of all other entry-level digital SLRs. Full HD recording at 24fps. Excellent image quality for its class. Excellent noise control. Strong in-camera JPEG processing
  • Low-resolution LCD screen. No bracketing. No external microphone input
  • The D3100 is the best entry-level digital SLR currently available. A host of features and excellent image quality sends this camera to the top of the pack....

  • Small, lightweight design makes for easy carrying, 11 AF points make focusing more precise, Very good ISO performance
  • Mono microphone, Rolling shutter effect in videos, Lens focusing sound can be heard while recording video
  • It's amazing how much image quality the Nikon D3100 packs into its small frame, it easily holds its own against the sea of mirrorless interchangeable lens competitors. If there's one drawback to the camera, it's that it trails behind its competitors in vi...

  • Excelente calidad de imagen, Live View Video, fácil, accesible y funcional, Sistema de autofoco avanzado para el precio del equipo, Interfaz de usuario usable, Autofoco rápido y con muchas opciones, Mejoras con respecto a modelos anteriores en velocidad y
  • Sobreexposición en algunas fotos, No hay información sobre el ISO en el viewfinder, hay que apartar la vista de la foto para poder ver el seteo, No soporta todos los lentes de Nikon, aunque si la mayoría, Sin histograma en Live View, Sin entrada de audio
  • Al decidir comprar esta cámara sabía que estaba jugándomela un poco por ignorar mucho al respecto de ella, tuve que aprender de la nada sus pro y sus contra y llego a la conclusión de que fue una excelente compra. No puedo quejarme. El punto más fuerte...

  • qualité d’image, gestion de bruit, réactivité, ergonomie, tarif, taille/poids.
  • tenue délicate pour les grandes mains, définition de l’écran LCD.
  • Le D3100 vient remplacer le D3000. Premier réflex de la gamme Nikon, et sans proposer toutes les fonctionnalités de ses ainés, il délivre une qualité d’image bluffante pour un appareil à moins de 600€. ...
