Nikon D3100 gets real, adds 1080p movie mode with continuous autofocus
We had a feeling we'd be seeing the well-leaked Nikon D3100 this week after the Coolpix S1100pj and S5100 were officially launched on Tuesday, and here it is, right on cue. Just as we'd heard, the big news is the addition of a 1080p/24 H.264 AVCHD movie mode with continuous contrast-detect autofocus, complete with face detection and subject tracking. That's a major first in the DSL...
R world, although we're extremely curious to hear how much focus motor noise you can hear in the clips -- we've definitely had issues with other continuous autofocus systems in the past. That new focus system carries over to regular Live View and the 720p movie mode, which shoots at both 24 and 30fps, and the new 14.2 megapixel sensor can be boosted from its native max of ISO 3200 up to 12,800 for some low-light action. Around back there's a three-inch screen, and Nikon's also beefed up the Guide mode, which the company says was extremely popular on the D3000 -- it shows you how to use the various features of the camera, complete with comparison shots showing the effects of different settings. The D3100 will run $699 with the usual 18-55mm VR kit lens when it hits in September -- we've got grand plans to put that video AF system through the wringer when we get one, but for now check some pics in the gallery and PR after the break.
