Nikon D3100 18-55vr Kit Review
I have a Nikon D90 and a selection of Nikkor lenses with which I am very happy. My wife wanted to have her own DSLR, having only had compacts before, so we chose this model as the hype says, "The Nikon D3100 is an entry level digital SLR camera aimed at photographers making their first venture into SLR ownership." and I wanted to be able to share my lenses with her.
The "beginners" aspect has been very well thought out. The camera is beautifully light, especially when compared to the D90, the instructions for a beginner are easy to follow, although I am sure you will quickly tire of the Guide mode, and the initial quality of the pictures is everything you would expect from Nikon - you won't be disappointed.
My only quibble, why are only AF-S lenses fully compatible? How much would it have added to the cost to make it compatible with all the type G lenses?
It means we cannot share my wonderful Nikkor 10.5mm F2.8 G fisheye. It does work but you lose the autofocus which is a shame, even with a wide angle lens. My AF 70-300/4.0-5.6G is virtually unusable on the D3100 as you do need the autofocus here. A shame!
