Author's Review
Like the 3100, I am an "antique," a pro using 2 1/4 Fuji and Nikon all else 35. My first exposure to digital so I am not too bright on a lot of the jargon. Main thing is, it does the job. I boosted the adapter ring to 52mm and thus can use my Nikon filters where wanted or needed. I put the fotos on discs and send them out for printing. No complaints. With old eyes, I need 2 pair of glasses, one for the viewfinder view (Optical) and another strength for the too small screen in the back. It is a lot of hassle so the camera is usually, literally point and shoot. However, I have ordered a Leica didgi which should take care of the other problems. remember, a lot of the ptroblems lie with us, not the camera, just like in golf. One of my favorites, taken by a pro friend was with a 2mp pocket Minolta Dimage 8 years ago. It's 8x12, tacl sharp with excellent color. As the 3100 is an antique, they are now very cheap if found, and any of the Finepix line is a safe bet.
