My wife just joined me in the "Retired" ranks, and we both like to travel and explore outdoors. I have been a hobbyist photographer (cheap therapy!) for 30+years, currently using a D-7200. She has expressed interest in getting a camera and doing photo trips with me. Up until now, she only took photos with her cell phone and a point and shoot. She does not like the weight of the D-7200.
I found a used "low mileage" (under 2K shots) D-3100 listed as like new condition. It looks like a good lightweight camera that she can start out on automatic and gradually use more of the features as she becomes more comfortable with it. We can also swap and share AF-S lenses, if I understand correctly. The specs look very good and I think it will more than serve our needs.
I might get a used (also "like new" condition) Nikon AF-S 18x55 VR lens for general use on the D-3100.
Any thoughts from D-3100 users? Thanks.
