Pros: Câmera pequena, leve, robusta, produz belas imagens e com bom desempenho em ISOs elevados.

Cons: Visor pequeno, tendência a superexposição (corrigível compensando -0,3), filmagem mono.

Opinion: Adquiri a Nikon D3100 em 2011, e embora nos últimos tenha passado a usar a Nikon D7500, ainda a conservo. Foi minha primeira DSLR, e a utilizava quase sempre com a lente Nikon 35mm 1.8 DX e eventualmente com a Nikon 50mm 1.4 FX. As imagens produzidas por ela são surpreendentemente boas, até em ISO 3200; ampliações em tamanho 30x45cm ficam muito boas. O controle automático de ISO associado à velocidade mínima de obturador é um excelente recurso. O tamanho discreto da câmera facilita carregá-la para vários lugares e não chama a atenção. A vida útil da bateria permite quase 500 fotos. É uma câmera de entrada, e obviamente não tem muitas opções de controle. A filmagem é boa, porém mono. Eu a utilizei em alguns shows e eventos, fotos de rua e retratos, e algumas das imagens feitas com essa câmera foram utilizadas em encartes de CDs e capas de livros.

Pros: It's a Nikon, cheap, light, easy, it works.

Cons: Vecchiotta, Tenuta iso

Opinion: It's her age, I'm reviewing it only because I saw by chance the JuzaPhoto home page. Combined with a good Nikon prime lens such as an 85mm, 50mm or a 35mm 1.8, in 2024 in my opinion it is still fun. I used it last time on a trip to London, often at sunset/night and the photos still hold up. The extreme limit of ISO is 1600 and must be managed with a good program such as Lightroom or better C1. The original battery can easily withstand a busy day of shooting. It's the first digital one I owned and I had a lot of fun with it. With good optics, it is still light years ahead of even the best smartphones.

Pros: Small, lightweight and great to get started with

Cons: noise at high ISO

Opinion: An excellent compromise for price / quality if you want to try to start taking photos. I personally started with this camera here in combination with a Nikkon AF-S 18-55 G II lens, a very versatile combo to start with. It really gives beautiful photos but as long as you don't exaggerate with the request for ISO, I currently highly recommend this model for inexperienced people and who maybe want to enter this world but don't want to spend so much or maybe buy low quality products from very commercial sites, currently in good condition this camera fluctuates between 80/100 euros

Pros: Lightweight, great for getting started

Cons: With only one dial, it becomes cumbersome in setting some functions. Attempt to overexpose with auto ISO

Opinion: It was my first DSLR. Accustomed to film reflex cameras, I initially had some uncertainty in using the camera in manual mode. The fact that you only have one ring does not help in changing the aperture quickly. But beyond that, it's a nice camera that gives you beautiful shots as long as you don't overdo it with the ISO. It's light, easy to handle and you hardly feel it on, even with the 18-105. To begin with, it is certainly a good choice and the price in the used car is very advantageous

Pros: Small, lightweight, good compatible optics, long lasting battery, great machine body.

Cons: It has a single bezel, few controls, viewfinder with poor coverage, complicated focus, slow, a lot of noise from 800 ISO.

Opinion: Back then, it was my first Nikon, my father's last gift before he left me for cancer in 2017, now I'm 33 years old. This year I bought a NikonD7500 and despite not being the TOP of the range, it has really better qualities. However, the D3100 I will always carry in my heart. The cameras used previously were all compact from Sony, and I've never had the same wonderful result that this camera can give in daylight or with the help of an external flash mount of all kinds, setting things up manually. For what I used it, initially in an amateur way photographing landscapes, flowers and cats, I found it satisfying despite the age of the camera body. I find that the information of the display, despite not being touchscreen is enough to make good shots. It's very good to learn. I found a lot of difficulty on noise, already with 1600 iso. At the time I didn't have adobe Lightroom to fix and I really struggled to photograph the evening with still light. In general, I prefer it a lot compared to a latest generation Iphone, they have too many automatisms, with her it was a beautiful experience that I will continue to carry in my heart even if I will still change cameras over the years. Thanks Nikon D3100. You also allowed me to immortalize Ambramarie Facchetti before Covid19 broke out.
