About this deal
If I choose to set my Fn button to set white balance, I can't navigate down to the other info screen settings. Nikon has, for example, chosen to drop the optical low-pass filter from the front of the sensor, which is excellent news as it means images will show more detail than usual.
SMALL BASIC JPG files (2,992 x 2,000 pixels), the way I shoot my D3300, have a median file size of 700 kB, and can be printed at any size. I have since graduated to a Nikon D7000 that has exceeded all expectations and provided a superb photographic experience for almost three years now.Camera technical details can get complicated quickly, but we all need a place to start before diving into the deep end. Entry- and mid-level DSLRs from Canon and Nikon are by far the bestsellers in the system camera market, but they rarely stir up any excitement in internet forums. On the top plate, to the right of the viewfinder, are the mode dial, video record button, Info button, exposure compensation button, and the power switch and shutter release. The best camera deals, reviews, product advice, and unmissable photography news, direct to your inbox!
To the right of the display there's a button that toggles Live View, a directional pad and center OK button to navigate through settings, and buttons to adjust the drive mode and delete images. the average score jumps to 2,422 lines with most of the frame (including the edges) approaching 2,200 lines. No automatic exposure bracketing (simply use the Exposure Compensation control and make sequential shots yourself). My first DSLR foray was with a Nikon D40 back in 2009, purchased with little foresight and even less understanding of the craft at the time.
The Panorama mode also works fine if the camera is pointed somewhat higher or lower as you sweep to cover a higher or lower view. Had the D3100 before: while my D800 and D600 are the perfect tools for specific projects and events, the D3xxx is the one I just throw into my office rucksack every day, sometimes just by itself, sometimes in combination with the little BeeFree-tripod and pano-head.
I will presume that Nikon will fix these in newer firmware; my brand-new D3300 is still at version C 1.
I had a canon SL1 but never could conquer the menu, so sold it and stayed with Nikon, I just love using this little gem!
