Nikon D3100 14.2MP DSLR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Kit 32GB

Kit contents and intended user

This kit bundles a Nikon D3100 DSLR with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR lens and a 32GB SDHC card. It is aimed at beginners who want a complete starter package for stills and Full HD 1080p video. The included accessories provide storage, protection and basic support out of the box. Buyers who need a second body or more storage will find this kit insufficient.

Build integration and space savings

The camera body uses a DX-format CMOS sensor and the supplied lens covers a 18-55mm zoom range with vibration reduction. A padded carrying case, full-size tripod, mini tabletop tripod and LCD screen protectors are included so no separate purchases are required for transport or stability. The UV, circular polariser and fluorescent filters thread onto the lens front for immediate creative control. A USB card reader speeds up image transfer to a computer.

Sustained shooting behaviour

The EXPEED 2 processing engine drives an 11-point autofocus system and 3 frames per second continuous shooting. Full-time autofocus remains active during 1080p video recording. A self-cleaning sensor unit reduces dust buildup over long sessions. The 14.2-megapixel resolution delivers consistent detail across extended bursts without buffer bottlenecks.
