PLEASE HELP!! I have a problem which is that when im editing my NIkon d3100 videos in sony vegas I never get full screen?? what to do?? always black bars everywhere .. or prefer me some editing program PLEASE HELP!!
@DrOpDeaD14x I like mine I bought because it has easy settings to use for inexperienced/amature photographers. I added a 300mm lens for shooting wildlife in Montana and got some really impressive shots for a newbie. The camera comes with an 18-55mm which is enough for most people doing general shooting but get a minimal of a 300mm if you want to shoot wildlife.
@pr9nkaholic No you can't connect an external mic to it. And the inbuild mic is pretty bad, also you can hear the continuous auto-focus motor working while filming. So if you really want to shoot videos, you should get either a video camera, or one of the more expensive DSLR's.
@xXDJsmileyXx Switch the Live View to on and once youre on live view, you can press the orange dotted button on the middle of it to record. enjoy XD!!!
@wakayoda yeah I don't know anything about cameras and lenses , I'm buying this one for videos and to start taking pictures cause I like photography and all that.
@umar220 i believe that space among what is considered semi professional and professional is little today. d7000 is perhaps all we need. check out... freedsl r . co m remove spaces and try to get the chance to bring home a Brand New Nikon D7000
I got the D3100 for Christmas and I'm currently looking for a suitable lens. I need a lens with a good long zoom for sports photography, could anyone recommend a good lens? Also not too expensive.
@PhotographersOnUTube Up to maybe €250, depending on the lens. Preferably a Nikkor, and yes it has to be a zoom, as it would be used for equine photography.
i need some help O.o. am looking for a slr cam that can shoot HD movies in at least 30fps etc, but with good / very good quality sound (like dolby or something), and have some kind of flip screen so i can vlog and see what im doing...
ANYONE know of one? or know where to shop for one?!?!
No HDSLR so far has acceptable audio quality if you are an audiophile. Nothing comes close to a video cam with good preamplifiers and maybe even XLR input. The one closest to what you are looking for is probably the Canon 60D.
@NikonD6 True, but for truly professional work (well, the more creative fields of it, at least, rather than journalistic), he could (and should!) carry a DAT recorder to deal with all the audio needs. That's what I'm gonna do, personally... I'm absolutely fixed on getting a new 3100 tomorrow, to supplement my D2 and D1...
@NikonD6 You never use onboard audio if you want to be a pro. You get a separate device to capture the audio. Get a giant squid lavalier and a zoom n1h1.
@NikonD6 Or 600d now :) Or save your self a couple of hundred pounds/dollars etc and get a 550d and plug it into your laptop for a completely portable screen :)
@nabashes you can go for Canon DSLRs. 60D 7D or 550D video mode in 24/30/60frames per second. there are mic input jacks on the side, pretty useful for people like you and me.. :)
should i buy this or the nikon 3100? im a beginer, so plzz someone help me. and why everybody recomends me canon or nikon, but no sony because isnt that good?? :/
god its so hard for me to choose from.. the nikon d5000 because of the scene modes whcih i really like or the nikon d3100 which has auto focus for videos and stuff. So hard to choose from
The D7000 records H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compressed 1080p HD video at 24 frames per second. For further information I would recommend the review over at CameraLabs -- the best I've seen so far.
Well, you get what you pay for. I checked the prices and here in the US it's twice the D3100's price at the moment. Why I recommended the D7000 over the D3100 was because it is a beginner's camera that even a constantly improving photographer can be happy with for 5-10 years. Whereas in my experience many people soon reach the limits of entry-level models such as the D3100. They then end up upgrading after a year or two.
@DINOSRAGERC wwould you suggest a d3100 for a beginner who wants to become professional ? if i got the camera, i would have it for a long time, only upgrading in lenses instead of bodies :)
Street tests for new camera models usually start one year before the official announcement. If you knew where to look you could see some Nikon D4 prototypes being tested in Tokyo right now.
well, show me some decent video, whats with the 3/4 second edits... ur here to sell me a video camera and ur not showing me any decent images... fire who ever made this and get someone who knows what the hell they are doing.... ur not selling me on this camera with. this video....
D3100 will lunch at singapore end of september price is 900 plus and i hear a rumors say that D90 will be replace by D8000 not so sure anyway D3100 is good for entry level ^_^
@ ar4216 most like it will not have manual controls its not a pro or semi pro camera just wait for the new d90 replacement or d300x, D700s or x with the new sensors but just remember nikon never did video before ever unlike canon been doing video cameras for years and years nikon just started with the d90 and to me its a good start. lets see what everyone have to say then when the pro cameras from nikon come out with the new sensors.....Lets Go!!!!
As a grad student and for videographer, I can't believe they've already got a DSLR with autofocus. This changes things big time. Once the sensors are able to be as stable as video cameras, DSLRs will quickly dominate the semi-pro and small video production industry.
@HUhurdler It's unbelievable that professional cinematographers are actually starting to film with DSLRS. They offer comparable quality and an inexpensive (for them) lens system that possibly offers more artistic freedom than the confines of bulkier film systems. Even some of these advertisements are shot with the very DSLR that they advertise!
bad habit of human like to compare nikon and canon if u like nikon just stick with nikon brand if u like canon stick with canon nothing to compare both is great and choose which u like and ur budget that most important...
@SAA6153U thats what i be telling everyone.. and as far as video canon should be better then nikon for now cause they been doing video for a long time. and i get them even more mad when i say if you want video then get a red camera or shut up they dont say anything then.. any way good post...
@MattSheahan890 I concur. This camera can be a good backup if you already own a nikon setup. Changing brands isn't cost effective. Sides, doesn't the rebel xs goes for about $500 with lens now'n days anyway?
im deciding....and this looks bad...i need to get some raw avchd from someone ...the site sample all looks stretched out...very poor quality comparing to t2i...especially on youtube...
Seriously. The video capabilities on this thing are crap compared to the T2i. You would think considering how long it took Nikon would have got it right. At the very least Nikon should have matched Canon. And I was hoping this camera would be even better than the T2i. What a disappointment.
@ar4216 can you just stop comparing these two brands? if you like canon then just stick with it, you don't have to talk shit about nikon cameras. & probably, most of the ppl who cmmnted on this video own/ want to own a nikon, so all the things you're saying may offend them too. so just keep those shit to yourself, f you don't like nikon. kthanksbye :P
0:11 shows slo-mo, but this camera will not shoot anything higher than 30 fps, WTF? Mono audio is fine if there is manual control. Will I be able to buy body only?
Just to let y'all know... Nikon is supposed to be coming out with a D90 replacement sometime in the next month or two... If you can spare the cash (I'm guessing $1k at least, maybe $1200 with the 18-105mm lens kit). It should be awesome in every way.
@Appleaddict22 If you can afford it go for the T2i, but if not the T1i all the way, this is good, but its just a starter camera, much like my canon rebel XS except newer and has more features
@treysparker No no it doesnt piss me off. It makes me happy to know that i wont be missing out on too much with the T2i! Yes i know the 20fps for 1080p is a bit silly, but not many people have 1080p computer displays anyway. 720p is fine for me :) this is my first DSLR, and that's why im not really going to dish out an extra 200. Thanks a lot for your help! :D
@Appleaddict22 Like padlockd said, expect the Nikon D90 replacement to be announced in about a month. Same video features plus 16MP still pics instead of 14 and 6-7fps frame advance instead of 3. And i sure hope it has a top panel LCD for adjustment of f-stop, shutter speed, etc instead of this camera's configuration. I suspect it will.
However, this camera here will be very adequate for many people. Probably. We need to see sample still images first before making any final decisions.
@Appleaddict22 For Video get the Canon. For Pictures get this. This is very new. Like less than a week. So it may be harder to find it for a couple days. But then this camera will be everywhere! Seeing as this is Nikons newest dslr is almost a year, There will be more lenses to come out soon!
@trevorskates94 Both are important for me! Im hoping the video will help me out with my carreer on YouTube, and that as a camera it will serve as a great family camera. I think ill go for the Canon, since i only have by the end of the month to decide. Thank you so much for helpibg me out! :D
@Appleaddict22 the D3100 isn't bad, but you have to wait for a few months for more user reviews and professional reviews of this new product,,,
better to wait than regret your purchase,,
if video isn't important to you then go look for a second hand D40,, the money you will save on the d40 you could use it for additional lens purchases....
if I were you i'll go for the Canon 550D,, Canon makes better entry level DSLR than Nikon,, but Nikon might have an edge over the Pro level DSLR..
@hsn423 I think ill go with the 500D. Not many human eyes can detect the difference between 15 and 18mpx. Its essentially the same as the 550D with a few tiny differences. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help really appreciate it!
@ragoobadshah yes this does not have a hinged swivel screen if that is important to you.. I also wish for the D5100 to have the new processor and HD updates with a SIDE hinged swivel LCD screen.

@ar4216 can you just stop comparing these two brands? if you like canon then just stick with it, you don't have to talk shit about nikon cameras. & probably, most of the ppl who cmmnted on this video own/ want to own a nikon, so all the things you're saying may offend them too. so just keep those shit to yourself, f you don't like nikon. kthanksbye :P

0:11 shows slo-mo, but this camera will not shoot anything higher than 30 fps, WTF? Mono audio is fine if there is manual control. Will I be able to buy body only?

Just to let y'all know... Nikon is supposed to be coming out with a D90 replacement sometime in the next month or two... If you can spare the cash (I'm guessing $1k at least, maybe $1200 with the 18-105mm lens kit). It should be awesome in every way.

People PLEASE. I need an answer. Should i get THIS or the CANON EOS 500d/T1i???
Appleaddict22 1 year ago
@Appleaddict22 If you can afford it go for the T2i, but if not the T1i all the way, this is good, but its just a starter camera, much like my canon rebel XS except newer and has more features

I know this answer might piss you off, but you'll be very happy with both.
It comes down to how important 1080p at 30fps is to you...

@Appleaddict22
Forgive me, i mean 24fps.
The Ti only does 1080 at 20fps (which is pretty silly)
Not to mention the d3100 has continuous auto focus when recording which to me is huge.
If you care about video then the d3100 is the easy choice between those 2.

@treysparker No no it doesnt piss me off. It makes me happy to know that i wont be missing out on too much with the T2i! Yes i know the 20fps for 1080p is a bit silly, but not many people have 1080p computer displays anyway. 720p is fine for me :) this is my first DSLR, and that's why im not really going to dish out an extra 200. Thanks a lot for your help! :D

@Appleaddict22 Like padlockd said, expect the Nikon D90 replacement to be announced in about a month. Same video features plus 16MP still pics instead of 14 and 6-7fps frame advance instead of 3. And i sure hope it has a top panel LCD for adjustment of f-stop, shutter speed, etc instead of this camera's configuration. I suspect it will.
However, this camera here will be very adequate for many people. Probably. We need to see sample still images first before making any final decisions.

@Appleaddict22 For Video get the Canon. For Pictures get this. This is very new. Like less than a week. So it may be harder to find it for a couple days. But then this camera will be everywhere! Seeing as this is Nikons newest dslr is almost a year, There will be more lenses to come out soon!
Enjoy!

@trevorskates94 Both are important for me! Im hoping the video will help me out with my carreer on YouTube, and that as a camera it will serve as a great family camera. I think ill go for the Canon, since i only have by the end of the month to decide. Thank you so much for helpibg me out! :D

@trevorskates94 looks like this will be better for video. it has autofocus. canon doesn't.

@Appleaddict22 the D3100 isn't bad, but you have to wait for a few months for more user reviews and professional reviews of this new product,,,
better to wait than regret your purchase,,
if video isn't important to you then go look for a second hand D40,, the money you will save on the d40 you could use it for additional lens purchases....
if I were you i'll go for the Canon 550D,, Canon makes better entry level DSLR than Nikon,, but Nikon might have an edge over the Pro level DSLR..

@hsn423 I think ill go with the 500D. Not many human eyes can detect the difference between 15 and 18mpx. Its essentially the same as the 550D with a few tiny differences. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help really appreciate it!

Nikon please add a higher resolution side hinged swivel LCD screen on the next D5100 along with the HD 1080p 30fps video.

@ragoobadshah yes this does not have a hinged swivel screen if that is important to you.. I also wish for the D5100 to have the new processor and HD updates with a SIDE hinged swivel LCD screen.

this must be great for taking pictures..
but still, mono and no external mic jack.. :-(
but yeah, its a camera, not a camcorder..

@890705123 No external mic jack? No swivel LCD? No 50p or 60p? How this is better than a T2i/550D or a GH1?
EluraUser 1 year ago
@EluraUser but yeah, to compare it with t2i its little unfair, t2i prices a bit higher. dslrs are made for taking pictures.. still, 550d to go! yeah!
