As was rumored, Nikon has announced the Nikon D3100 today. It isn’t a pro level camera, but the key (at least for me) is that they’ve finally entered the full 1080 video world and they’ve set a new standard of full autofocus in video mode (tho we’ve got to see how well it works as [...]

We got more than we thought we’d get, but it is all great information. So here’s the movie (which [...]
