Nikon mixes the DSLR market with the new entry-D3100 on properly: Although the small "version step" in the name of only marginal changes suggests D3000 D3100 on, they added new features to offer some anyway. For example, a 14 megapixel resolution CMOS image sensor with which the D3100 not only get live view, but entry-level DSLR can record full HD movies first as. For ease of use for beginners Nikon Guide system be further optimized.
The sensor in the DX format (APS-C crop factor 1.5), it should be, by the same as in the Sony NEX-5. First, the CMOS technology allows for the large sensors, a live view function and fluid as high definition filming. The D3100 reaches 1080p, FullHD So with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution. Pictures can be recorded even with 14 megapixels, and the new sensor allows a sensitivity range from ISO 100 to 3,200, in the settings hi1 and hi2 are even achieved ISO 6400 and 12800. The "old" regular D3000 came only to a maximum of ISO 1,600 and ISO 3,200 in Hi1 the setting. Even a problem of previous DSLRs with live view, namely the very slow focus only on button press, Nikon addressed. The live-AF will now be faster and stay in the AF-F setting even permanently active and can pursue subjects.
