A friend wants to buy a SLR camera D3100. Can you give me some advice? It’s best to talk about the shortcomings. Do you have any better recommendations? The price is within 3500.

The D3100 is terrible for photographers. But for an ordinary photography enthusiast, it is definitely the first choice among entry-level cameras. Affordable price, simple and convenient to operate. The kit lens is a bit poor at cleaning, but it still works fine. The engineering plastic body is very good in terms of design and workmanship. However, the body is a bit small and the little finger hangs in the air when held with the right hand. There are actually function levers on the shoulder of the fuselage such as single frame/continuous shooting/forced flash stop/Selfie. There is no need to enter the menu settings. It is so convenient. It also has high-definition video function. It has complete functions and is very suitable for novices to practice. 14 million pixels is enough, and with the help of the new image processor EXPEED 2, it will greatly help improve the image quality.
