I see it has a live view mode which is different than in d3000 model. Does this live view only work when recording a video or can you also use it to see what you are going to take a picture of?
thanks. I'm trying to buy an intro dslr and want a nikon. But if there's an equivalent model from a different brand that is similar in price and functionality, then i won't be opposed to hearing about it.
My dad is giving me the choice of a Nikon D3100, Canon 1100D or Sony A37 for Christmas. I'm leaning towards the Sony right now but I'd like some second opinions.
When will we see the Nikon D7000 (Body only) fall in price to £500 GBP?
I'm going to wait until the Nikon D7000 (Body only) falls to £500 GBP (brand new on Amazon) I'm not buying 2nd hand before anyone says buy an almost new one. You get 2 Years warranty with a brand new one, You don't with a 2nd hand one.
They are down to £630 GBP on Amazon, But I suspect they will fall even more in price to £500 GBP.
My question is this… When will we see the price of the Nikon D7000 body fall to £500 GBP.
I Predict it will be around October 2013 (ish)
Thank you for your answers. Have a great day
Added (1). I own a D3100 but I find the body a bit to "Plasticy" for my liking. The D7000 is tough and Rugged
New DSLR sigma lens 18-105mm, very dark photographs?
Hi, I'm a relatively new to photography, so please bear with me. I have been using the Nikon 18-55mm kit lens that came with my D3100.
Recently, I bought a new sigma lens, 18-105mm. However since using it, my photographs became very dark.
I shoot in aperture priority mode & in the same room with my 18-55mm lens, with an f-stop of 5.6, & ISO of 100 the shutter speed required would not be so slow, & allowed me to capture the room well lited.
But with my new lens, with the same f-stop of 5.6, the shutter speed would be about 1-2s in the same lighted room. Why is this so? Is it a camera setting or the lens? Please help me & once again, I'm still relatively new to DSLR lens & equipment!
Photographing an indoor party?
I have a Nikon D3000 and a 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens. I did have an 18-200mm Tamron zoom lens, but unfortunately that had to be sent off to Tamron for repairs about a week ago. I have a tripod, but I have no external flash, just the pop-up flash on the camera.
Though I'm shooting an indoor party, it's at around noon, and my client has a good number of windows in their home for natural light, so it shouldn't be too dark.
What is the best strategy for getting the best shots possible? I'm going to take shots of the decorations and things, try and get some candid shots, and a family portrait.
I'm obviously not a professional (getting paid less than $50), but I want to do my best since I've committed to this job.
Thanks so much for any and all help!
Added (1). I must add that this party is TODAY. I know, I know. Please don't criticize me for waiting this long. I just need the best advice possible.
How to take composition photos on a Nikon D3000?
I have to take three pictures, and two of them being rule of thirds and deading lines. I can't find my manual for my camera so I need to ask here.
What settings would you use for compostion pictures, and also how do I get rule of thirds and deading lines?
Also what is composition exactly? I mean what kind of pictures would you take for it?

Increasing shutter speed of Nikon D3200 while using the built-in flash or a speed-light?
I'm very new to DSLR photography having recently bought a Nikon D3200. I was trying increase the shutter speed in an evening shoot so that I could darken the background while still illuminating my subject ahead using my built-in flash. I then realized that I could not increase the shutter speed beyond 1/200th of a sec.
My query is that it possible to increase the shutter speed of my camera using speed light specially the entry level ones like Yongnuo YN 560-II or Nikon SB-400 or I need to go for more higher end version.
I'm getting a Nikon d3200 camera for christmas and I was playing with one on display at Best Buy. Whenever I pressed the shutter button the camera would not take a picture unless I held it down. I asked the lady if you had to hold the shutter button down every time you take a picture and she said yes unless you have a remote for the camera. Is this true? Please answer!
Nikon D3100: 50mm f1.8 or 35mm f1.8?
I'm hopefully receiving a Nikon D3100 for Christmas this year and being a complete novice to using DSLRs I have no idea what each lens does.
I've done a lot of research and it seems that investing in prime lenses are the way to go for brilliant picture quality and the two most mentioned lenses are the Nikkor 50mm and 35mm.
I'm not entirely sure what the pros and cons are on each lens so if someone would be able to give me any information I would be very grateful.
