My friend wish to buy a digital SLR camera. Nikon d300 and lumix g3. Which one is better. ?

My friend wish to buy a digital SLR camera. We got 2 option from friends and relatives. Nikon d300 and lumix g3. Which one is better. Can we take video by using it. Is there any limitation in video length.

If you’re looking for a camera that shoots videos and take stills aswell than you’ll have to go with Panasonic Lumix G3 because Nikon D300 does NOT have the option of shooting a video.

"Which one is better?" — I’ll have to say the Nikon D300 is better. It has faster auto-focus, significantly higher resolution screen, better image quality, much more lenses available, significantly more cross-type focus points, weather sealed, significantly more dynamic range, significantly larger sensor, more focus points, better color depth, has an optical viewfinder, shoots slightly faster and has faster max shutter speed. The disadvantages i see here is it doesn’t shoot movies and is more expensive compared to the Lumix G3.

I found this link where you can read the user review for Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera:

You can buy it online from this link below:

But since you seem concerned about the video feature, i’d say you should go with Panasonic Lumix G3. I found a link where you can read a user review for it:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HUNASKHD51MO/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1HUNASKHD51MO&tag=famavca-20

I also found a link where you can buy it:

I hope this helps you make your choice.

What’s the best Nikon Digital SLR camera?

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:16:22 +0000

I’m trying to find a good Digital SLR camera, and I finally decided to get A Nikon rather than a Canon. I’m deciding whether I should get the Nikon D300 or D3100. Which one is overall the best? Or are there any other ones? Thanks:)

I’m thinking you meant d3000, not d300. The price difference between a d300 and d3100 is about $1,200 (the d300 being $1,700).

The d3100 and the d3000 are pretty similar. The d3100 is a bit newer and can also take HD video. The d3100 is the d3000’s slightly "older brother." Not a big difference between the two. The largest difference is the video.

I would personally recommend the d5000 or the d90. They have both been discontinued but you can still buy them. The d90 is considered a semi-pro camera, while the d3000, d3100, and d5000 are entry-level cameras. You can get the d90 for about $900 with a kit lens, which is a very reasonable price for all it can do. The d5000 runs for about $650, I believe.

How to get a cheap nikon slr digital camera?

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:47:40 +0000

I am in love with photography, and i need a digital nikon with good focus and zoom. Any ideas where i can get a good one for about $100

$100 may get you a non-functioning Nikon dSLR at eBay. Sometimes, your money will not be even enough.

Can I use old Nikon N2002 Lenses with new digital SLR Body?

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:36:26 +0000

I have a broken Nikon N2002, with 3 good lenses. Does anyone know if I could use these old lenses on a new Nikon Digital SLR Body? I am really interested i getting back into photography, and if I could save some money by using my old lenses it would help.

Thanks.

I am still using Nikon lenses from the 70’s with my Nikon digitals. So probably yes you can use them with Nikon DSLR. Non-AI, Pre-AI (also called NAI are the original Nikon F bayonet lens mount and lenses introduced in 1959 for the Nikon F camera) will not mount on some DSLR. On others it may mount but not meter. On AI converted lenes it will mount but may not meter on all Nikon DSLR. An AI ( circa 1977) lens will work.You may not be able to use all the functions with the lens depending on what series lens it is, some Nikon DSLR do not have autofocus motors in the body.. . AF, AF-D, AF-S, AF-I, VR and G will work ( AF and AF-D will not auto-focus on D-40s or D-60s)
There is a really good chart on lens compatability here

Will old Nikon lenses fit on a new digital SLR Nikon camera body?

admin — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 03:55:43 +0000

I want to get my father-in-law a DSLR camera for his 60th birthday. He already has TONS of old Nikon lenses from his old Nikon film SLR camera and has expressed interest in keeping and using those lenses. (I’d rather just give him a brand new DSLR camera body that comes with a basic DSLR lens… but it’s his gift!). Can you recommend a Nikon model that will work with old Nikon lenses OR is there another manufacturer that is interchangeable with old Nikon lenses (like Minolta and Sony).

Any Nikon lens made since 1959 will fit & work on a modern Nikon body, however, depending on the model of Nikon and the specific lens, it may not autofocus or meter correctly. The autofocus shouldn’t matter (it only applies to the entry level models, D3000, D3100 & D5000 in any case) as I would imagine that coming from a film background your father-in-law will ne used to manual focus lenses.

Metering is not generally a problem either as there is reliable guesswork (sunny 16 rule) even if he doesn’t have a hand held meter and with digital it’s easy to check an over/under exposure with a test shot.

No other manufacturer will be compatible.

I have a Nikon N6006 SLR, can I use the same lens on a digital Nikon SLR?

admin — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 19:27:24 +0000

I want to buy a digital SLR, any recommendations on a Nikon model where I can use the same lens? The lens I have are AF Nikkor that fit my Nikon N6006 film SLR. Would appreciate any help.Thanks

Actually, it’s, "Any nikon lens should fit any nikon body [AFTER 1977]" you can if before 1977, but will require an adapter.

What Nikon digital SLR camera should I get?

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 07:09:28 +0000

I am really into photography and videography, so I want a camera that shoots great pictures and HD video. What would be the camera for me, that doesn’t break the bank?

Actually you wont find video quality so good with nikon DSLR cameras. you can have a look at Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera
# SO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light; enhanced 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system
# Improved EOS Movie mode with manual exposure control and expanded recording 1920 x 1080 (Full HD)
