The Nikon D3100 has been one of the best selling DSLRs of recent times for a good reason. For a start, it sits at the bottom of Nikon’s DSLR lineup, so it is relatively affordable and yet and offers a gateway to the company’s extensive camera system with a huge number of lenses and accessories.
In addition, it has a sturdy little body with a relatively modest selection of controls, so those who are relatively new to photography aren’t overwhelmed by the prospect of learning how to use it.
And most importantly, it is capable of delivering high quality images that reward the photographer who has made the jump from a compact camera to an SLR.

Canon UK has admitted the fault, and issued the following statement, “Canon has identified that when the LCD top light is switched on in very dark situations, the displayed exposure value may change on the EOS 5D Mark III. Canon is now investigating the issue and will announce further details on the Canon support page in due course.

The new DSLR, which Nikon says will not replace the Nikon D3100, but rather sit above it in the range, boasts 24.2-megapixel resolution – the second highest pixel count introduced this year behind the Nikon D800.
First sales of the Canon EOS-1D X have been pushed back to June 2012, according to Canon.
Canon says a delay to the start of mass production is the reason for the revised EOS-1D X release date.
So you’ve got a brand new, top spec Canon 5D Mark III. What do you do? Rip it apart, if you’re freelance filmmaker James Miller. Seen as sacrilege to some, but it was James’ ambition to make his images as sharp as possible by removing the camera’s low-pass filters.
