[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 674485, member: 43342"] Just got home from a loop up through Wisconsin, U.P. Michigan (Mackinac), Sault St Marie, Ontario (Sudbury, Parry Sound, Hamilton - Royal Botanical Gardens), and Niagara Falls before heading home to West Virginia. My wife used the D3100 and is getting more comfortable with it. She says its easier for her to see the display rather than use the viewfinder, so certain focusing situations have been a challenge. For example, a single flower sticking up with the background off in the distance - the camera wants to focus on the background, which is 95% of the view area. I used the camera some and was very impressed. I used the viewfinder, though. Much lighter and easier to carry for hours than the D7200. The photos came out nice and clear and properly exposed. For long hikes or long photo sessions, I will probably grab the D3100 if my wife isn't using it. Very impressed. I posted a travelogue of the trip on our family page. Most photos were D7200, but we used the D3100 over on Mackinac and various shots throughout the trip. Link: [url]http://www.michaelelyard.com/WisconsinCanada2018.htm[/url] . [/QUOTE]
