there are patches and updates for DSLRs right? wondering if that would enable the D3100 to be able to do exposure bracketing?

any idea how to do HDR shots if the D3100 cant do bracketing?

Hello, just bought the D3100 from AP today. According to the sales man, this model is very popular among the beginner.
Hope to learn more from all of you.

the main got no choice, as there is definitely a significant trade-off for weight vs IQ.

anyone can recommend me a UV filter for 18-55mm lens for my nikon d3100??

 

[siahweiian]

Hi, can one try to record video on this cam? Is it good, how abt AF when recording? Will the AF sound be recorded? Cos when I try with d300s, it will record the AF sound. Maybe due to the motor drive.

Normal Hoya 52mm filter should be enough unless u really wanna invest in a B+W 52mm filter.
