Nikon D3100 Preview
www.FroKnowsPhoto.com
It is a huge day for Nikon Shooters and future DSLR camera owners. The announcement of the D3100 is a sign of things to come from Nikon. This will usher in a whole new crop (no pun intended) of sensors that should produce better quality photos and video. The D3100 will most likely be the first camera out of the gate with a D90 D300s and D700 replacements to follow.
Let's look at the main features I am most interested in in the new D3100. The new CMOS sensor is a step forward over the CCD of the D3000. It should produce much better still images at all the different ISO settings. Keep in mind, higher ISO is in no way a replacement for using faster glass (F1.4,1.8 and 2.8 lenses)
The new sensor also gives the D3100 the capability of recording full HD 1080 video at 24 frames a second. At lower quality settings you have the option to change the frame rate. The coolest most exciting addition for me is the ability to have continuous Autofocus during video recording. This means you will have an easier time when zooming and tracking a subject to hopefully get your focus right. A side note is that your internal microphone will pick up the sound of the focus motors when recording video.
I feel that this will be a very very solid camera for capturing still images. The new sensor will certainly make this a better camera in higher ISO's. I do have a few concerns about this camera and they mostly fall on the video side of things. In my research so far I can not find information that tells me I can manually set my exposure during video recording. Sometimes it is important to be able to override the camera to create certain effects.
A major omission in the D3100 is there is no audio input for connecting external audio recording devices. Now I am sure this is done to keep the price down and most likely will signal the difference between this and the next cameras in line.
All and all this will be a very solid beginner camera for anyone just starting out in their photographic journey. I can see myself purchasing at least one of these cameras to act as a B-Roll camera to give me the ability to cut in a second angle.
To get on a list to purchase a D3100 please call Allen at Allen's camera 215.547.2841.
