  • Is the Nikon D3100 still a capable portraits camera? YES! I would consider the D3100 to still be a VERY capable camera that can give you amazing results with the lenses I used here. The 35mm 1.8G DX, 50mm 1.8G and the 85 1.8G lenses really shows how well the D3100 can perform. I would HIGHLY suggest any of these lenses to increase the image quality on your D3100. These lenses will definitely bring your photography to another level, especially if you're still using your 18-55 lens. I really hoped this video helps you if you still have your D3100. Comment below and I'll try my best to help and answer questions about the Nikon D3100!

    Hi, your channel is great because you show people that with some half-decent primes and a fairly inexpensive body, you can get great results. It's that whole "I want it, but do I need it" thing. Also, now that you have a z6 you can show us the best of both worlds, with mirror less and that adaptor.

    85mm for portraits in this case. But I’m sure you’d want the full profile. 35,50,85, but 85 popped the most with this level camera.

      It's a good deal, especially with those 2 lenses. It's an amazing camera to learn with and learning manual mode is always an uphill battle but once you get the hang of it, it's going to really improve your image quality.

    I just dont think its worth it to send that much on lenses for my d3100 since I hope to soon upgrade to a sony.
    For context, i currently shoot on my phone and d3100 and am trying to get used to photography and editing. Once that is done n my parents anre convinced to pay atleast a part (Im 14) i plan on getting am a6000/a6100/a6400

    • @BoostLeekdMedia
      @BoostLeekdMedia  9 месяцев назад

      Hey! That means you're ready to upgrade! Also, a good lens goes a long ways BUT the latest mirrorless cameras are amazing, especially if you compare it to the D3100. But, the D3100 with a good lens does go a long ways. I don't know how far you're at with your photography journey but I'd recommend getting some lenses for the D3100 before moving up to the Sony mirrorless cameras, UNLESS, you're doing more videos, then I'd get the mirrorless cameras.

  • @4WheelingInNSW
    @4WheelingInNSW 3 года назад +2

    Great clip and lovely photo's mate, well done. Just one quick question, have you or anyone else out there with a D3100 had any luck shooting videos in live view mode and had the autofocus actually properly autofocus consistently like it's designed to do ? I've tried many times and it will focus on something however when you move the camera to another "point of subject" the camera seems to just remains focused, or NOT focused for that matter, resulting in just blurry videos .... a few people have suggested focusing manually however this is not always practical as I want to set the D3100 up on a tripod and film myself and my vehicle driving past it for my channel. Sure I can manually focus on things when shooting ( still ridiculous if that's the only option ) out of the vehicle but how can I do a good tripod set up when it doesn't autofocus like it is supposed to ?...... very frustrating indeed 😡😢

    • @BoostLeekdMedia
      @BoostLeekdMedia  3 года назад

      Yeah, unfortunately, the D3100's video autofocus is not the best. Especially if you're in Live View and you're trying to focus on a moving subject. This is where Nikon's downfall is, the video recording and video autofocus capabilities for early entry-level DSLRs. It wasn't until the D3300, D3400 and D3500 where the video performance actually really improved.

      @BoostLeekdMedia  2 года назад

      I don't know if you have Nikon or Canon lenses but if you have more Nikon lenses, stick with the Nikon cameras. If you have more Canon lenses, stick with the Canon. At the end of the day, it really depends which camera fits your needs and how you like the user interface of the cameras. Between the D90, D3100 and 1100D, I would choose the D90 because you can use older Nikon AF-D lenses.

    • @BoostLeekdMedia
      @BoostLeekdMedia  Год назад

      Depends how much light you're working with. You'll need a good amount of space as well with that lens. I'm usually using Manual mode and depending on how much light you're working with, I'd say between 1/100 to 1/500. Keep the ISO between 200-800 (this really depends on the amount of light you're working with. As for aperture, I would stay around F/2-2.8 to get 'sharper' images but also make sure you're shutter speed is high if your subject is moving around.

      You could but the Autofocus on the D40 and D60 is very slow. You will be able to get good shots with the D40 and D60 IF you cant rent really good lenses. But, the D40 and D60's autofocus is not that great for weddings. Especially if the subjects are moving fast.

      Between the 2, the D3200 has an improved sensor compared to the D3100 BUT, the D3200 does cost more than the D3100. If cost is not an issue, the D3200 is a better performing camera. But, at the end of the day, it really depends on how good the photographer is.
