Nikon Coolpix 3100 ... digital still camera with 3.2 effective megapixels and a powerful 3x zoom lens, the Coolpix 3100 is a friendly and versatile model, even for those who are using a digital camera for the first time. The Coolpix 3100 is ideal for people who want an easy-to-use digital still camera that offers great image quality, and who are looking to get more fun out of digital photography. The camera's compact body fits easily in a pocket for carry-anywhere portability.

Featuring a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and 4x digital zoom, the Coolpix 3100 provides excellent optical performance. Coupled with Nikon's advanced image-processing algorithm, this ensures vibrant color, contrast and clarity in every picture. The camera's 3.2 effective megapixels offer remarkable resolution in printouts as large as B4 size.

Shooting is simplified by general-use Auto Mode and 14 Scene Modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function for perfectly composed pictures, which allow users to capture the essence of every situation and fully experience the fun of digital photography. The Coolpix 3100 also features Continuous Shooting Mode and four Movie Modes, including one capable of recording a clip as large as 640 x480 pixels. Users can take up to 40 seconds of smaller-size video in color, B/W or sepia. In Macro Mode, the camera can shoot as close as 4cm (1.6 inch) from a subject and still get sharply focused shots.

The Small Picture function creates reduced-size pictures that are perfect for e-mailing or Web posting, while the Date imprinting function allows users to date a picture at the time of shooting. Image effects such as B/W, sepia and halo filters extend users' creative options.

The Quick Review button allows images to be viewed right away on the LCD monitor while maintaining live-action viewing. The Transfer function simplifies uploading image data to a computer.

 ... is probably not photogenic and has to take 15 pics to get 2-3 which pleases me in terms of acceptibilty. But this camera normally satisfy me in 10 pics or more out of 15 taken. It works equally good in bad weather conditions. We took lots of photos in snow fall and luckily they were not hazy but were crystal clear and very sharp. Cameras make memmories, and i love this one so much that i'm planning to buy one soon....more

Crowned Review Nikon Coolpix 3100: Digital Bliss (927 words)
by - written on 29/05/05 (Very useful, 93 readings)

I began selling on e-bay and sales were suffering for lack of pictures so I decided it was time that I got in touch with the digital world and bought a digital camera! I went out with the mind set of wanting to spend no more than £100, thinking this would get me something basic that would last. I was persuaded to spend a little over £100 on this Nikon Coolpix 3100, and I was not disappointed! I didn't know a great deal about digital cameras but I knew that I needed something over 2 mega pixels and with optical zoom. The Nikon offers 3.2 effective mega pixels, 3x optical zoom and a massive 14 scene modes! It is a small camera that fits perfectly into your hand ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review my experiences with the Nikon Coolpix 3100 (467 words)

Rating:

This is a great camera packed full of functions that are easy to navigate thanks to the clear menu system and the jog-dial. At just over 3 megapixels at maximum quality, I found this more than enough to give superb quality 6x4 prints. The attraction of this camera was the 10 pre-set scene modes which included: party/indoor, sunset, night lanscape, firework show and beach/snow. Other photograph assist modes include portrait, lanscape and sports mode. There is also a short video function, maximum length 40 seconds (with no sound) but this is obviously not the main selling point. On the back of the camera, flash, macro and self-timer options are on ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago my old APS camera had finally had it and after spending countless amounts of money each month developing my film when really all I wanted was a CD of the photo's so I could put them on my computer I decided it was time to invest in a digital camera. My two main specifications when choosing a digital camera were: * Lightweight and small enough to fit into my pocket but not too small so that it would be fiddly * Easy to use After lots of searching I came across the Nikon Coolpix 3100. I always go on first impressions and this obviously made a good impact - It looked funky, small enough to fit into my pocket, the ...  Read the complete review
