Field Review: Nikon D3100 (Day 6)

by Gevon Servo on February 7, 2011

In my time with the Nikon D3100, I had an interesting thought. It will make a nice family DSLR. A camera like the D3100 can play many roles in a family without breaking the bank. It’s features, menus  and ease of use make it an ideal camera to capture special moments. The camera is a great photography training tool for that your photographer in your life also..

Field Review: Nikon D3100 (Day 5)

by Gevon Servo on January 29, 2011

Lens Nikon 55.0-200.0 mm f/4.0-5.6Camera Nikon D3100 Exposure 13 Aperture f/22.0 Focal Length 55 mm ISO Speed 800

The Nikon D3100 is an entry-level DSLR. The most important component next to the body is the lens or lenses it comes with. For this review, we have two lenses to highlight: the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and the Nikon 55-200mm VR AF-S f/4-5.6G ED. I recently took them out for some low light photography and achieved decent results. [click to continue…]

Field Review: Nikon D3100 (Day 4)

by Gevon Servo on January 20, 2011

Camera Nikon D3100 Exposure 20 Aperture f/16.0 Focal Length 50 mm ISO Speed 100

It was a cold, quiet, crisp morning in my hometown: the type of day I would usually shoot with my 50mm lens on my D90. After a little thought and a cup of tea I put my Nikon 50mm F/1.8 D lens on the D3100. We love 50mm Prime lenses here on The Phoblographer. They are low cost and great to shoot with. We have written a few posts on this subject. I thought it would be interesting to use my 50mm F/1.8 to shoot some Bokeh and have some fun.

Field Review Nikon D3100 (Day 3)

by Gevon Servo on January 19, 2011

Camera Nikon D3100 Exposure 0.02 sec (1/50) Aperture f/2.0 Focal Length 35 mm ISO Speed 800

Next in this review: an ISO test. The Nikon D3100 has a higher ISO capability than its predecessor the D3000. Its maximum is IS0 3200 and can go up to ISO 128000 when set to HI 2. I started shooting high ISO’s from day one with this camera. The quality of the images at ISO 800 is very nice with little to no noise. Before reading, you can take a look at Day 2 in this series.

Hands On: Nikon P7000, Samples with D7000 and D3100

by Gevon Servo on October 29, 2010

Camera Nikon D90 Exposure 0.004 sec (1/250) Aperture f/2.0 Focal Length 35 mm ISO Speed 640

Being a Nikon shooter, Photo Plus Expo 2010 in New York City was an excellent time for me to visit Nikont. Nikon has new lenses like the their 24mm F/1.4 which we reviewed not too long ago, as well as the 35mm F/1.4 and their 85mm F/1.4. I got to see some incredible examples of what these lenses could do. I was able to get sample images with the Nikon D7000 and D3100 which I talked about in a post several weeks ago. I also finally got my hands on the P7000. There was no news on the next full frame from Nikon.
