**Unboxing and First Impressions of the Nikon D3100**

As I begin this unboxing process, it's clear that the charger comes with a USB cable, which is convenient. However, I'm excited to see how the battery charges the camera itself, as it's a much better way to go than traditional chargers. The battery simply slides into place, and then you can plug the charger straight into the wall without any extra wires.

**Opening the Camera Box**

Now that we've got the charger out of the way, let's move on to the camera itself. As I open the box, I see that it's nicely protected by cardboard. And, as expected, the first thing I pull out is the camera body. There's nothing else in the box aside from this.

**First Look at the Camera**

So, here we have the Nikon D3100 camera body. I've had some hands-on experience with the D3000, and I'm impressed by how much nicer the D3100 looks and feels. As I take a closer look, I see that it comes in a separate box for the lens.

**Standard Kit Lens**

Now, let's talk about the standard kit lens. It's an 18-55mm lens, which is probably what most of these Nikon cameras come with. The lens itself looks nice and sturdy, and I'm excited to put it through its paces.

**Quick Tour Around the Camera**

As I take a closer look at the camera body, I notice that we've got some nice features like autofocus controls, vibration reduction, and more. Let's go around the back of the camera, shall we? Ah, great! We've got a 3-inch display screen here, which looks nice but may not be the highest quality.

**Handling the Camera**

I love how nicely the camera feels in my hand. The rubber grip is a big improvement over the D3000, and I appreciate the deep grip on the right side of the camera body. This makes it really easy to hold onto while shooting photos.

**Camera Features and Controls**

As we move around the back of the camera, let's take a look at some of these features. We've got a live view switch that allows us to go from stills to video mode quickly. There are also buttons for locking autofocus and switching between different modes like single shot and multiple shots.

**Other Features**

We've also got an ISO hot shoe, which is useful for attaching accessories like external flashes. Additionally, we have a guide mode, which can help new photographers learn how to use the camera more effectively. I'm glad to see that this feature is available on the D3100.

**SD Card Slot and Audio Inputs**

Let's take a look at some other features of the camera. As expected, there's an SD card slot here where we can insert our memory cards. However, it's worth noting that there's no audio input on this model, which might be a drawback for videographers who need to capture high-quality audio with their video.

**HDMI and A/V Outputs**

On the other hand, we do have an HDMI output as well as an A/V (composite) output. This allows us to hook up the camera to a TV or monitor, making it easier to share our photos and videos with others.

**Conclusion and Future Content**

That's about it for this unboxing process! I hope you enjoyed watching me explore the Nikon D3100. If you want more quality tests and reviews from now on, be sure to check out my channel, as I'll be posting plenty of content in the coming weeks and months. Thanks for watching!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys so today I'm here with an unboxing at the Nikon d3100 so you know I was looking for a DSLR for video of course my major thing was I really just wanted something that would get the best quality video and without here obviously spending a ton of money I've seen I looked at a couple of different ones obviously the Canon t2i which is what seems like everybody on YouTube has looked at it and it was okay I also looked at the Sony 833 which I was actually came really close to getting however in the end I decided on the Nikon d3100 for several reasons which we'll go ahead and get into in the full review either go ahead and pick it up with the 1855 kit lens should be just fine for me for the moment at least probably a different lens a couple different lenses later but like I said this is just going to be to start out with should be just fine so we go ahead and open up the box here and we've got some warranty I got a QuickStart guide I think there might be a couple CDs in there so make sure to take a look at that I don't think this software is going to be great on this but should be decent so let's go ahead and just pick this up see what get a couple boxes here um looks like this is gonna be all our accessories so we've got the big old Nikon strap should be pretty handy we've got the battery quit take this out um this is gonna be a thousand 30 milli amp hour battery so should give you plenty of charge for take a lot of pictures and video but will be probably picking up another secondary battery we've got a couple of Clips here and find the other one here these are to avoid interference prime not gonna be that big deal but actually no that one's not that is for the hot shoe ah hey here they are so gotta leave it for just to you know to put in to get rid of the interference on you a USB cable or something but not actually think this comes with USB cable but we will see and we just have the charger itself now actually I really like I mean I can't stand when Chargers uhactually I have to charge it in the the battery has to charge the camera and this is a much better way to go you just slide the battery right in in addition to that you go ahead and just plug it straight into the wall so there's no extra wires or anything like that take the camera take the battery take the charger just as one piece and you're good to go so that's always good now it's going to get to the camera itself so go ahead and take out of this box here I believe this is Karen body anyway so we'll open this up cardboard either way and here we go so nicely head in here and nothing else in the box we do have the camera itself so foot and get out here this should be pretty cool I had some hands-on with the D 3100 very very impressed so if there we go so here's the camera okay so let's go ahead and take a look at the lens now it just comes in a separate box here now of course like I said this is the standard kit lens that will probably come with most of these jun 18 2014 3 mm but never deal pop it to the side and here we go so got a pretty nice lens here button drop there very nice so there we go okay guys so here is the camera itself very very nice I'll give you guys a quick tour around here I won't go through everything but of course we've got the lens here looks very very nice we've got you know the controls for autofocus we've got you know vibration reduction kind of stuff out there it's pretty cool I'm coming around to the back here actually got this plastic you've got a nice three inch display it's not going to be fantastic I don't know off the top my head but it's not as really high quality display but shouldn't be a big deal we've got this nice now that's one thing I really want to say it's good so nice to hold you've got a rubber grip here which is a improvement over the d3000 you've also got a nice deep grip right here so this is really really nice for going ahead and holding I love that was like I said one of the major things so we have this which is a live view switch so you can go ahead and pull that press the button to record video pretty quickly you can go ahead and lock autofocus all kinds of mini buttons we got you know all purchased all kinds of stuff trash you've got our little d-pad of course we do have a hot shoe we've got our little guide select remove and go ahead and switch to our different modes this will go ahead and choose between single shot believe multiple shot that's timer and I'm fairly sure if you guys can see that that that's quiet shutter I believe that just makes it what it doesn't make a noise when you take a picture go ahead and turn it on I don't have the battery in here so I can't show you guys that just yet and then we go ahead over here and we have room for a SD h SD SDHC or SDXC card so let up whatever we want in there over here we do have a flat now one thing is that one one kind of minor downside is that this does not have an audio input so if you're going to be recording a lot of video not the greatest but go ahead and show you guys you do have believe that's for GPS that's the USB you got HDMI and then actually that is this over here this is to the a/v out so you can go ahead and just hook it up to you know a standard TV or whatever so guys that's about it of course I definitely stay tuned to the channel I will be not only doing you know quality tests I will do a review at some point but I'll also definitely mean pretty much all the videos I've shoot from now and will be shot on the D 3100 so if you
