Is the Nikon D3100 a good choice for me?

I have been looking for a quality dslr camera (either canon or Nikon) that is not too expensive, around 500 dollars or less. I found the Nikon d3100, which fits my price requirement, but I'm not sure about the quality. I am a ametuer photographer who wants to upgrade from a point and shoot camera to a dslr. The d3100 is 14 megapixels, is that reasonable for a dslr? Thank you!


Answer
Forget megapixel count. Anything over 12MP is enough and any DSLR on the market will give you a very nice 20"x16" enlargement. You really don't need more megapixels. It is the image size and quality and lens quality which matters. All DSLRs in your price range will have similar sized sensors. Canon and Nikon both make great optics. 14 megapixels is more than enough.

The D3100 is a great camera. It is quite a bit better than the similarly priced Canon 1100D and they are the cheapest DSLR cameras on the market right now.

Take a look at D5100 prices as well. They have dropped a lot recently because Nikon has introduced the D5200, so old stocks are being sold cheap. (Same with the D3100 being discounted because of the D3200).

If you can afford the extra, go for the Nikon D5100. The image quality is better in low light - it performs much better at high ISO. It also has a much higher resolution screen, which makes it far easier to work with when you are reviewing your images. It has quite a few more advanced features which you will only really appreciate when you learn more about using the camera.

If you can't afford the extra for the D5100 then do go with the D3100. It will give you great image quality and help you to advance your photography.

How much is a DSLR camera on Black Friday?




lalala.


I really need a new camera, and i figure a DSLR would be my best bet but they're so expensive. So i was wondering if the price would go down any on black friday


Answer
matters what camera, first of all.

DSLR prices are pretty static. Instead of actually discounting the camera, retailers will probably bundle up a camera, lens, memory card, bag, and cleaning supplies, and mark the total down by $100 or so.
