Nikon D3100: From Snapshots to Great Shots
Nikon D3100: From Snapshots to Great Shots
by Jeff Revell
Edition: Paperback
Price: £8.79

4.0 out of 5 stars worth it, 29 Mar 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Well worth a read if you could get it second hand even better! not read mine all the way through still but always close by if I need to know something for certain its a must. Also it uses jargon sparingly and has lots of actual in use photos of things like the cameras on screen menus and tips for quick settings etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars Paranoia!!, 29 Mar 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Like many I succumbed to paranoia when in bought my first D-SLR thinking all sorts like "what if I get mugged" thieves are everywhere etc STOP!!!!! think about it unless your a hero and are bullet or knife proof it wont help lets face it if push came to shove or worse you would probably let em have it. Of course the protection offered is I am sure meant only to deter the casual bag snatch type of thief where the wire might save your gear from a knife cut on the strap but Its not worth being maimed if someone wants your camera they’ll take it and a bit of wire inside the strap isn’t going to stop them whether its on your body or not also on a purely technical note the swivel couplings at the strap ends leave something to be desired they aren’t as safe and secure or as sturdy as you might like and the wire inside the strap makes the end near the camera itself less than flexible which can be annoying when you are trying to get lined up for a shot sometimes. Ultimately its up to you I am not disparaging this strap completely it has its good points too -comfy neck /shoulder pad good stitching etc but mines been in a drawer since I first tried it and it wasn't cheap.

5.0 out of 5 stars works !, 29 Mar 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
hard to criticize a product that works as intended and isn't flawed in any obvious way it has good connectors the lead is long enough etc bought mine for Nikon's D3100 and I am happy to say it hasn't changed price on Amazon in over a year don't hesitate its a quality item should last the careful person a lifetime.

4.0 out of 5 stars good card good price, 29 Mar 2013

As I said good card good price after purchase wish I had gone for a Samsung similar price and faster (no adapter though) but this is a great card and I wont be changing it anytime soon. the included adapter wont really be used as its easy to drag files from the card in situ to any decent PC but its a nice touch if you want the versatility i.e. you can use the card in your camera if you run out of storage or slot it in your TV if you want to view your pictures really big.

4.0 out of 5 stars trusted brand for expensive phones, 29 Mar 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
If i had to find a fault its not as fast as I expected actually clocks at around 25Mb easy to assume your getting the super fast speed on San-Disks premium range which are 95Mb but it does tell you the speed if you bother to read the info so that's my fault
otherwise its a good card and works well on my Xperia Z phone .

4.0 out of 5 stars in case u buy one, 29 Mar 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
nice slim case protects most edges and all corners (most important) note feels really slippy like its covered in silicone spray could have been slightly thinner on the main back plate but works well without that bulked up feeling you get with some cases - get one now its cheap enough to replace at your leisure if you find a case you like better but your phones protected whilst you make up your mind knocked mine of a desk last week this case saved the corner of the phone from almost certain damage.
in short well worth it -recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars probably the best camera card i own, 27 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
used all the time now I feel like I am neglecting some of my other cards and wish they where all this make and grade nb better to get 2x 8 GB cards if price permits than the 16Gb version if only to prevent loss of all your work should you drop it somewhere irretrievable as that’s the only way I can see that you wont still be using this in many years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best budget zoom you can buy, 27 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Not just my opinion check out some photographers sites as well most are of the opinion this lens is superb for entry to mid range cameras where low light and high magnification aren't a priority the lens is very light and the VR works like a dream I have taken pin sharp hand held shots at 200mm on a D3100 and cropped them up to 100% they where still useable and clear -worth buying a uv filter or nd filter as a bit of extra protection to the front element saves worrying about cleaning when out and about as you tend not to worry about a tenners worth of filter

Well worth the price as they tend to get used in those things that eat batteries for fun such as Christmas novelty lights etc
