  • The Nikon D3100 is competing in an increasingly crowded market

  • Qualité d'image irréprochable jusqu'à 1600 ISO, très bonne à 3200 ISO, Vidéo Full HD 1080p, Construction correcte et prise en mains agréable, Réactivité générale
  • Écran limité à 230 000 points, Gestion ubuesque de la sensibilité auto, Autofocus avec les objectifs AF-S seulement, Balance des blancs très chaude sous éclairage halogène
  • Le D3100 est un très bon reflex d'entrée de gamme. Son écran insuffisamment défini lui interdit de prétendre aux cinq étoiles, mais sa qualité d'image est au top et il est agréable et réactif....

  • Ecran de seulement 230 000 pixels,  Rafale molle de 3 i/s
  • A 600 euros, le D3100 semble intéressant d'autant qu'il palie toutes les faiblesses de son aïeul. Mais la concurrence va être féroce : l'Alpha 33 de Sony propose un mode rafale plus de deux fois supérieur, un autofocus vidéo plus performant, un écran ...
