[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 240573, member: 18251"] I don't want to be a party-breaker here, but I must say, I would not have great expectations in terms of inducing Nikon to upgrade D3100 with aforementioned firmware, if I were in your shoes. The thing is: all (camera) producers tend to "tailor" their production in the way that the specific model suits the needs of a specific "type" of customer/user/owner. Thus, if the (camera) model is designed to belong with "the highest pro level", such as, in case of Nikon, D4 or DF, it will probably be equipped with all modes of shooting you can think of. To the contrary, the model deemed to be an "entry level DSLR camera" will be "stripped" of some shooting modes and of some performances, but will be better equipped with "help messages", for example. That way, the producers achieve two goals: 1. "saving" inexperienced users from mistaking (focusing them to "basic modes"), 2. "encouraging" users (once they become "full fledged" photographers:rolleyes:) to switch over (meaning: $$$) to more sophisticated models. But, of course, I wish you a good luck, and a Happy New Year!
