Nikon D3100 Review

Nikon D3100 Pros:
  • Better image quality and lower noise at high ISO with the Nikon D3100
  • Much lighter, which will be nice when traveling 
  • Larger LCD screen 
  • 11 focus points, including 3D focus which tracks the motion of the subject or camera. 
  • 1080p Video 
  • 14 megapixels 
  • 2nd Generation of DSLR 
  • Quiet, quiet, quiet 
Nikon D3100 Cons:
  • No bracketing option. Not a huge deal since I only bracket once a year 
  • Cannot use my old 50mm 1.8 lens. I knew this before purchasing the camera. 
  • As of 10/1/2010, Camera RAW for the Nikon D3100 is not supported in Photoshop or Lightroom. Need to shoot .jpg + RAW or use Nikon Capture NX2 for RAW files. That should be updated soon, so not a big deal.
  • Can hear the lens focusing when recording video. 
  • No depth of field preview. 
  • Can't use wireless remote
