If you’ve been following the rumors about the Nikon D3100, you pretty much know all there is to know. Early reports were dead-on regarding new features, specs, and even the day of the announcement. The D3100 is a long-overdue update to Nikon’s consumer DSLR, putting it on equal footing with Canon’s excellent T2i — if not outdoing it.
Here are the vital specs:
- 14.2 megapixel sensor
- 1080p/24 video or 720p/VGA/24/30 (H.264/AVCHD)
- 3? LCD (230k dots/320×240 pixels) (boo)
- 11-point autofocus
- Continuous autofocus in video mode (contrast-based)
- 3FPS burst rate (boo)
- In-camera editing of video (clipping, basically)
- ISO 100-3200 (expandable to 12800)
