Nikon D3100 DSLR Digital Camera is a powerful, intuitive digital camera, ideal for photographers who are looking to purchase their first DSLR. These easy to use Nikon digital cameras help budding photographers along with the helpful Guide Mode, which features on-screen assistance to help you take better photographs. Packaged with a high resolution, 14.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and a 3x 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Image Stabilization lens, this digital camera is capable of taking crystal-clear, vivid images and videos with a minimum of effort. And for the first time with an entry-level DSLR camera, Nikon allows you to take HD video in full 1080p with the Nikon D-3100 14.2 MP CMOS DSLR Camera, complete with full auto-focus functionality and sound. Built-in pop-up flash allows you to add more lighting on the fly to too-dark environments, and Nikon has equipped the camera with split-second shutter response to let you take those high-speed photos before the opportunity slips away. A compact and lightweight design allows you to easy fit the Nikon D3100 11-Point Auto-Focus Digital Camera into a camera bag for transportation.

Not only is the Nikon D 3100 DSLR 1080p Video Camera powerful, it's also easy to use, even for photography beginners. To start with, it has an 11-point auto-focus system with dots spread throughout the camera's viewfinder, not just bunched in the middle. The auto-focus is constant too, one of the few DSLR auto-focus mechanisms to do so. Nikon has programmed six automatic exposure scene modes - Landscape, Child, Portrait, Sports, Night Portrait, and Close-Up - in the D3100, and you can choose the Scene Auto Selector to have the digital camera automatically choose a setting that's right for your location. The Nikon D3100 CMOS DSLR Camera features an in-camera image editing system that lets you tailor your photographs before they even reach your computer. And with the inclusion of an HDMI port, it's easier than even to share your photos and videos on your television and transfer them to your computer. Packaged with the D3100 DSLR is an 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Image Stabilization lens, which equips the camera with high definition 3x optical magnification. For an entry level DSLR camera that's packed with an assortment of professional-grade features like you'd find on a higher-end DSLR, the Nikon D3100 Auto-Focus EXPEED 2 DSLR Digital Camera makes a worthy addition to your photography arsenal.
