2. Video: The D3100 is the first mid-range DSLR also offers a video function that (in my opinion not optimally positioned) is to use a separate bowl. The D3100 is filming in various image formats and FPS rate. This includes 1080p at 25 fps. Aperture settings and white balance are completely controlled manually, but you have to leave the LV mode (which is not too cumbersome). Thus, the films is possible in every light and blue or orange stitches belong to the past. The so hochangepriesene autofocus is in my opinion unnecessary, but you can turn it off so easily. The camera will also sound through built-in microphone on, the quality is not bad, but has its limits. I recommend an external audio recording device for a reasonable sound quality.
3. Processing: The D3100 is generally processed very well, because nothing wobbles except the cover for the card slot: The is a bit loose. It should also be warned to cover the flash with anything! He is very strong (manually set to full power) and is therefore able to make things easy anzukokeln so. That's me with a piece of paper and passes the plastic window of the flash has since slight cloudiness, but which affects the Ausleichtung the flash to virtually no.
The supplied battery is charging about 1.5 hours and holds up to 800 trips.
-> Conclusion: Anyone looking for a camera that is small, lightweight and relatively inexpensive but comes good pictures and a variety of manual controls unerdenkliche offers, which is the D3100 the correct device.
I have the camera for about 2 months and have so far not found any screen deficits and the video function convinced me.
