Nikon D3100: First DSLR With Autofocus Video!
I’m not a fan of taking video with a DSLR, but maybe you are. I guess I figure why not use a camcorder to do a camcorders job, but then again who wants to carry around two large cameras? Also, have you seen how amazing the video is with the Canon 5D Mark II?
Well it looks like Nikon has finally made video a decent option with the D3100 entry level DSLR camera. How? This is the first DSLR anyone has put out that has constant autofocus while shooting video! The D3100 will cost about $700, so be sure you really want to use the video option, otherwise you can get an entry level DSLR for $200 less.
