    Although I have higher grade Nikons, I have just purchased a Nikon D3100 because it was not expensive. Having used it, I am amazed how good it is. Its easy to use, takes great photos and considering its age, (mine was originally purchased new in 2012), the technology is still really good. I would fully recommend this camera to anyone who wants a good quality camera which is available at bargain prices. Great video by the way !

    I bought my D3100 20 years ago.
    Around 5 years ago I bought a D7100 as I thought I had outgrown my 3100.
    The D7100 is a great camera but recently I pulled out my old 3100, bought new batteries for it and fired it up.
    I am amazed at how good this camera still is.
    It does not have all the buttons and the tricks of the D7100 but it does the basics just fine!
    It is a great camera to do "normal" photography and will allow you to learn how to control the camera for more artistic shots!
    I have put mine back into service alongside my regular use of the D7100!

    Still got my D3100. It's a great workhorse camera and awesome lens selection since release. Just upgraded to the Canon M200 though as needed clean HDMI with indefinite video. Really wanted the D3100 to do this, but I guess I'm asking a lot in 2020 for a 10 year old camera. Even custom firmware doesn't offer it...searched long and hard too as still love this camera.

    I am taking action pictures in a hockey rink, usually through glass and am having a hard time finding what the best settings for shooting would be with the D3100 to get sharp phots that aren't blurry or grainy. I'm usually using my 55-200mm lens for these shots. Any help is appreciated.

    • @drowsynectar6173
      @drowsynectar6173 2 года назад +2

      The more light you have the better. I'm assuming the hockey rink is nicely lit, but if you can raise your shutter speed and open the aperture up wider (lower f number), you'll get clearer images. Like he said in this video, shooting a lower ISO will also help reduce noise. I found 400 is a pretty decent compromise
