Nikon D3100 Hands-on Review

Nikon has released the D3100, which is an update to their entry-level DSLR range (the predecessors being the D3000 and the D5000). One of the big changes to this camera is that it now has 1080p video mode and AF-F, continuous autofocus during movie mode. So, what is the Nikon D3100 like? Is it worthy competition to the Canon 550D?

I'm getting this camera for Christmas. It's going to be my first DSLR. I'm so excited!

You quite certainly can't adjust the ISO settings for videos.

Might be possible to adjust the brightness and the aperture, at least that's possible with the D5100.

Just look in your manual, I'm sure you can find those informations in it.

I have this camera and have had it for 8 months! I need help; Whenever I go to shoot video, I can't seem to adjust the settings. If I go to manual and flick between the iso settings, the final camera output looks exactly the same! Please help !

I dont understand how you can handhold at 1/30th of a second and have no hand shake?! o.o
