SoSpectacular Posted July 29, 2012 Share #752 Posted July 29, 2012 I gotta lower my price range... It's between the Nikon D3100 and the Canon T3. Look long and hard at the camera specs before you choose. I'm in the process of upgrading my camera body within the next few weeks and I've been doing my research 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocked Posted July 29, 2012 Share #753 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Judging from this overview http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-T3-vs-Nikon_D3100 I would still go with Nikon. Just keep in mind that other lens if you buy any must have an autofocus motor or there will be no autofocus at all.

RailBus63 Posted July 29, 2012 Share #755 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) I have the D40, which is essentially an older version of the D3100. You will not be disappointed with the 3100. Edited July 29, 2012 by RailBus63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocked Posted July 29, 2012 Share #756 Posted July 29, 2012 Great, I will be waiting to see new photos from you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gong Gahou Posted July 29, 2012 Share #757 Posted July 29, 2012 Good choice. The Nikon D3100 is aimed at beginners, too. The ISO performance is not as good as the D5100, but it's still pretty good nonetheless. Video quality is disappointing (as with most Nikon cameras) if you ask me, but your opinion on that could be different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has the D70. Thanks! Great, I will be waiting to see new photos from you. They will be coming soon. Good choice. The Nikon D3100 is aimed at beginners, too. The ISO performance is not as good as the D5100, but it's still pretty good nonetheless. Video quality is disappointing (as with most Nikon cameras) if you ask me, but your opinion on that could be different. Really, the ISO is high enough for me. I know about video. I'm ok with not recording video right now. What do lenses do exactly? Zooming, taking pictures. All of that. Manual, here I come! EDIT: Why do they put these disks in here. All I need is the reference manual. I use the classic pop the SD card into the computer method. No cables necessary. It's faster too! Direct read and write. They gave me a free SD card, 8gb SanDisk Ultra. Edited July 29, 2012 by jimmy7train 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted August 12, 2012 Share #763 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Canon, their point & shoots excels over Nikons. Been meaning to get my hands on one sometime in the future. Nikon's point & shoot game is pretty bad. Edited August 12, 2012 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quill Depot Posted August 14, 2012 Share #766 Posted August 14, 2012 Nikon is good for DSLR's! But, Point and Shoots are Canon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted August 14, 2012 Share #767 Posted August 14, 2012 Well, I guess the consensus here is that Fujifilm isn't the one. You better choose between Nikon and Canon. I'd like to have either one, but the Sony I have is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneRegional Posted August 15, 2012 Share #768 Posted August 15, 2012 I highly recommend Canon for budget models [or typically Sub-$235] Point & Shoots since there is no frills and compromises in photo and video shooting, and you'll like the results. For advanced [super-zoom & such] Point & Shoots, it's debatable between Canon and Nikon, although I personally like the results of Canon better than Nikon. As for Pro Point & Shoots, DSLR and Semi-Pro Rage, it's also debatable, however I like Canon's quick access menu overall for fast and fluid shooting and getting the results I want rather than having to fiddle around and perhaps miss my shot with Nikon's often pointlessly complex menu system [although I am getting used to it]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan05979 Posted September 13, 2012 Share #771 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I'm liking that Nikon D600 coming soon...A lesser model to the D800 and somewhat more affordable, or should I just get a D7000 kit for $1200 Edited September 13, 2012 by Dan05979 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buswizard Posted October 3, 2012 Share #772 Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) I currently use a Nikon L120, and I love it, however, I would recommend Canon based on experiences with an awesome camera I used off and on from 2009-2011. I want an SX40 but my budget won't allow that. My second choice would be Nikon. Fujifilms can be lemons. Try to avoid Fujifilms if possible.

Aussieinuk Posted December 16, 2012 Share #773 Posted December 16, 2012 I use a Nikon P500,bridge camera. I find it gives me the best of both worlds. it is 12.1 megapixels, and has a optical X36 zoom and full HD capability. The beauty of this camera is there is no need to carry extra lenses, etc. great for when you need to take pics in a hurry. I paid GBP£250.00 for it about 9 months ago. I think it may have been superseded by a newer model. It is worth a look. When I am allowed to, I will post some pics on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted December 18, 2012 Share #774 Posted December 18, 2012 Wow, I was wondering if this was my thread. The Nikon P500 is the first step down from DSLR's. I tried it but I do not like it much. It feels like it has slow focus. I just use my 18-55 lens constantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
