Specifications Nikon D3100
Nikon D3100 is the result of long evolution of Nikon in realizing the most ideal beginner DSLR. Since the success of Nikon D40 in 2007, Nikon is a bit lazy to surprise and tend to continue the Nikon D40 with almost similar products, the D40x and D60. Even when the D3000 is introduced, Nikon does not want to provide live view feature let alone movie mode. The D3000 only surprises the embedding of an AF module with 11 dots (like the D5000) and features 3D tracking AF, as well as a slightly more spacious LCD screen. Enough? Certainly not. Even the presence of D3000 such as repeating the tale D60 supposedly failed even the D3000 was forced to achieve the predicate of the worst Nikon DSLR version of Ken Rockwell.
